Project 52-2-37 Subject: Animal
Posted By: mithrandir, 03-17-2010, 06:57 PM

For week 37 you will be capturing any animal of choice as your main subject.

(Pictures for the week 37 competition are to be taken and posted between 20100321 and 20100328).

NOTE: We have two Seasonal competitions planned for the last two weeks of year two. You may take pictures for these anytime between 20090705 and the posting dates of 20100704 or 20100711. This way you can include your favorite holiday or season whenever it occurs during the year.

Rules:
1. Anyone and everyone who is interested in eligible. The goal continues to be
have fun and share comments, concepts, insights, and techniques with fellow
Pentaxians.
2. Each week will feature a Theme and Sub-concept for you to explore.
3. Post your single picture in Project 52-2 thread for the week. Explain what
motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly
theme.
4. Some post-processing is OK (adjusting white balance, exposure, color
saturation), but let's try to stay away from heavily PP'ed images here. Try to
keep the creativity to photographic techniques and the captures themselves.
5. Since this project is about technique, and not camera, shots taken by nonPentax cameras are allowed. Cameras can be SLRs, DSLRs, Point & Shoot and Medium Format.
6. There is one “Theme Concept” labeled “black and white,” but feel free to post
black and white, sepia, monotone, etc., for any of the other themes.
7. The picture you post should be taken during the week in which the theme is active to be eligible for judging.
8. Any picture taken from 20090705 to listed closing date is acceptable for the
two “Seasonal” competitions – Projects 52-2-51 & 52.

Yesterdays Snail

My entry, a more or less low key snail. Taken with the A100/4 macro on a tripod, using the onboard flash as master and a external flash as slave. Snail is positioned on a black, shiny tile.

hi guys

rense, that image is great, I have to admit (with envy :P). I also need to show it to my friends, who claim snails are ugly and grose; you captured the little one very glamorously (texture, colors, s.a.)

shooz, lovely capture you got it caught in the middle of the action. thanks, I have never seen such an animal before. what is it?

--

I've met these two guys in the park, I would call them Patricia and Boris (by the appearance) they were introducing to one another..



keep shooting

That's a great image Rense. I like the black tile for background. Great idea.

I'm in for this week. I found these little guys all over my rosebushes. I decided to take their picture before I sent them to the big rosebush in the sky.
K20 + A 50mm f/2.8 macro + 25mm extension tube.

It is funny, I normally never take pictures of birds.
These Chinese or Swan geese were not my animal of choice, but somehow they were on the right place in the right time!

I've heard the phrase "don't have a cow", but sometimes that's all you've got.

I always thought "animals" didn't mean birds. But since there are several here in the project, I thought I'd post one of mine.

Here is my entry.
This is taken today during the Maine Maple Sunday which is a celebration on the 4th Sunday of March when the local maple sugar houses open their doors to the public.
