P52-3-13 Exposure: High Key
Posted By: Rense, 10-23-2010, 01:01 AM

Next two weeks, we'll switch to another, more technical theme: Exposure. The
challenge for the first week of these two is High Key. The term High Key is often
misunderstood, but it means that the key tones in the photo - so everything
between shadows and highlights - are high, light. The result is a light photo, with
only very sparse mid-tones and shadows.

Just some backgrounds and some ideas:
high key photography on idigitalphoto
high key and low key photography on dphoto

Time Frame: pictures for week 12 are to be taken and posted between
20101023 and 20101031, so from October 23rd - October 31st, 2010.

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 52-3 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 20100731 to listed closing date is acceptable for the two
“Seasonal” competitions – Projects 52-3-51 & 52.

Additional Information, including the scheme with subjects: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/mini-challenges-games-photo-stories/10506...-year-3-a.html

Have fun shooting!

Yep, you're right.... I consider skipping the first dates, because they are confusing (and cause me some headache....)

Shot this one today. It's a seven-legged spider from the family of Pholcidae, living in the upper corner of our living room. The nearly white walls and ceiling make a nice background for this light-brown spider. Checked the histogram, and, apart from a very thin low line stretching out to the right, it's all skewed to the left....

No, I guess not! Far most pix are on the right side of the histogram, not?

aPear_atif and Cheese

My daughter brought this home from Prague in January (school study abroad). I thought it would work for this with the ecru tablecloth and some white farmer's cheese. Sure is unnatural to over-expose this much, but I like the result.
