Current project: Not decided

Week 1: (September 14-20): soft
Week 2: (September 21-27): fuzzy
Week 3: (September 28-October 4): smooth
Week 4: (October 5-11): rough
Week 5: (October 12-18): bumpy
Week 6: (October 19-25): sharp
Week 7: (October 26-November 1): wet
Week 8: (November 2-8): hairy
Week 9: (November 9-15): feathery
Week 10: (November 16-22): grooved

Rules:

• Post your picture on Monday or any time during that week. (My time zone is Pacific Standard Time - 8 so it's entirely possible that it will be Monday for you when it's still Sunday for me. I will update the week's project label on Sunday night, but you may upload your picture when it becomes Monday in your part of the world.)

• Please post only one picture for each week's theme.

• Each week will follow the series of the theme.

• Your picture may be current or old. In fact, it may be so old that you have to scan it in--any picture will do. If you are a painter or other type of artist, you may submit a picture of your artwork if you like--anything goes as long as it's a picture and fits the current week's theme.

• You may restrict yourself to a single subject or you might like to have a theme, like flowers, things that are a certain shape, or whatever. It just needs to follow the current theme of the week.

I hope you'll consider joining us--photography projects are a great way to be inspired and keep the creative juices going!

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! :)

• Wir hoffen, wir haben Dich für unsere Gruppe begeistert. Die Projekte geben uns Inspiration und machen einfach Spaß.

Hi Janet.
Thanks for the invite!
Don't think I quite understand. Thought you were going to open up submissions and also there seems to be multiple entries . Is it me? I have just come home from a long day at the office so it could be me. Let me know. Just sorting out my posting. Thanks Jan

 Janet Brien
Janet Brien club
Hi Janano! I was originally going to start with the first submission, but Monday begins sooner for some people and a few pictures were posted, and I realized that there's no reason for me to be first. In fact, that adds problems due to the fact that people may be wanting to post before I can get to my picture. By the way, I just took my pictures, and have yet to process them! :D (You'll seen my choice in an hour or two!)

The multiple entries is a mistake, and I have written to each person with a request for them to pick a favorite and remove the extras.

Also I have made new restrictions so people can add only 1 picture per week.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks for the invite Janet. I've been in a photo slump lately using the excuse of too busy but I think I can manage to take one a week. I'm going to pretend I didn't see that old photos were allowed. :)

Janet Brien club has replied to Ed Letts club
Ed, you and me both! :D For my last couple of projects, I had mostly archive pictures, some of which I processed, others I just had to upload. But for this project, I will be taking new pictures for each week because I am really looking forward to taking pictures of the different beads I have. I toyed with the idea of using colorful flowers or whatever, but I'm glad I've stuck to my original idea because it was so much fun fooling around with all of the pretty beads and the various shapes and so forth. Looking forward to seeing your pictures!! :)

Hey Janet, here are the rules in German.
*Hugs*

Aktuelles Projekt: Farbkreis

Jede Woche liegt der Fokus auf einer anderen Farbe. Diese Woche sammeln wir Bilder mit allen Nuancen von Rot. Die folgenden Wochen werden die Farben Pink, Orange, Gelb, Grün, Blau, Violett und Braun und dann noch Schwarz und Weiß folgen.

Woche 1 (6.-12. Oktober): ROT <-- AKTUELLE WOCHE
Woche 2 (13.-19. Oktober):Pink
Woche 3 (20.-26. Oktober):Orange
Woche 4 (27.Oktober - 2. November): Gelb
Woche 5 (3.-9. November): Grün
Woche 6 10..-16. November): Blau
Woche 7 (17.-23. November): Violett
Woche 8 (24.-30. November): Braun
Woche 9 (1.-7. Dezember): Schwarz
Woche 10 (8.-14. Dezember): Weiß

Regeln:
Poste Dein Bild Montags oder im Laufe der Woche. Bitte poste nur ein Bild für jedes Wochenthema.
Bist Du mit Deinem Projekt hinter dem aktuellen Thema, kannst Du die vorherigen Bilder auch posten, damit Du dann up to date bist. Wenn das der Fall sein sollte, kontaktiere bitte Janet, falls es Probleme mit dem Hochladen gibt.

Dein Bild kann aktuell oder alt sein. Es kann sogar so alt sein, dass Du es einscannen musstest. Wenn Du ein Maler oder ein Künstler anderer Art bist, kannst Du ein Bild Deiner Arbeit posten, wenn Du willst. Hauptsache es passt zum Wochenthema.

Du kannst Dir auch ein spezielles Thema aussuchen, welches Du für das Wochenthema fotografieren möchtest ( z.B. Blumen, Dinge, die eine bestimmte Form haben oder was auch immer, es soll eben nur zum Wochenthema passen)

Wir hoffen, wir haben Dich für unsere Gruppe begeistert. Die Projekte geben uns Inspiration und machen einfach Spaß.

Wenn Du Fragen hast, scheu Dich nicht zu Fragen :)

Ich finde es bedauerlich, dass sich viele nicht an die Einschränkung des Wochenthemas halten sondern alle Arten von Baummotiven hier einstellen. Die eindeutigen "Rules & Explanations" scheinen nur wenige zu lesen und / oder halten sich nicht daran.

habe leider die 1. Woche (Single Tree) verpasst ... ;-(, kann ich noch ein Bild zu dieser Woche nachreichen, damit das Projekt auch für mich komplett ist?
aber wahrscheinlich nicht, habe ja die Bedingungen gelesen ;-)

Ur@nos club has replied to christel.k club
Mach's doch, Christel {:o). "Single Tree" kann ja auch "Laubbaum" sein, wenn er dann farbige Blätter hat, passt er auch noch in Woche 7 und auch ... 6 ... 5 {;o).

Ist für die Administratoren wirklich keine einfache Aufgabe, die nicht zum Wochenthema passenden Fotos auszuschliessen.

Chrissy club has replied to christel.k club
Klar geht das, darum hat Janet ja das Limit auf zwei Fotos begrenzt, damit man verpasste Bilder nachliefern kann. Wenn es mehr sind, die man nachliefern muss, einfach Janet eine pn schreiben, sie kümmert sich dann drum. Jeder soll das Projekt vollständig durchlaufen können!
LG!

Ich wollte mal vorschlagen, für jedes Projekt einen neuen Thread aufzumachen, wo die einzelnen Wochenthemen drinne stehen, anstatt ihn mit dem neuen zu überschreiben.
Ich habe in meinem Album, wo die Baumfotos vom letzten Projekt drinne liegen, einen Link zu diesem Thread gesetzt gehabt, um eine Übersicht zu haben, was die Unterthemen des Baumprojektes waren (gewissermaßen als Inhaltsverzeichnis).

Nun finde ich hier aber nichts mehr über das Baumprojekt (bzw. keine Übersicht mehr, was in welcher Woche das Thema war), sondern stattdessen im obersten Beitrag das nun folgende, aktuelle Gruppenthema.
Wenn nicht für jedes 10- Wochen - Thema ein neuer Thread erstellt werden soll, dann aber doch bitte wenigstens ein neues Posting - aber bitte nicht ein ursprüngliches Posting mit neuem Thema überschreiben.

Edit: Ich sehe gerade, dass es für das Formen - Projekt einen eigenen Thread gibt: www.ipernity.com/group/janet_briens_photo_projects/discuss/173400
Hat vielleicht jemand noch mal die Themenübersicht vom letzten Projekt, dem 10 Wochen - Foto- Projekt zum Thema Bäume?

Thanks god for changing the rule for week 10 ..... this octaeder makes me crazy !

NOW I will have a look for 5, 6, 7, ..... and damned may be I will find such 8 sides too !
9 years ago.
Janet Brien club has replied to Heidiho club
Yes, I realized that it just needs to be a 5-10-sided polygon, and I was only listing an 8-sided! It's the general shape that we want, but the number of sides can be from 5-10. :)

Now you will only be able to find 8-sided polygons! :D And you will never stop laughing! :D

Now it was "diamond" for week 9?! In www.ipernity.com/group/janet_briens_photo_projects/discuss/173400 you are writing about "Pyramid" instead of "diamond"? Which one is final?

The shape was changed to diamond because people were worried about finding a pyramid. :)

Can I ask what you mean by diamond? Do you mean like the playing card diamond or an old-fashioned kite, ie. four sided? Or the shape of the stone in a diamond ring, which might be round or many-sided?

Opposites.

Explain ; Light - Dark, must it be the same object etc ?

 Alass
Alass club
I wonder about this too: Is it to be the same subject or a different one?
9 years ago.
Stormlizard club has replied to Alass club
Thanks for joining me on this query.

I take "Opposites" to mean exactly that, ie A tree photographed by day then by night.
A different subject by day and night is only opposite by light or lack of it so we do need clear rules on this point.

Chrissy club has replied to Stormlizard club
I think it´s up to you! :)
Would be nice if you do so. But if not: don´t worry.
9 years ago.
Stormlizard club has replied to Chrissy club
I see, so it is up to each member's own interpretation in all cases making for a rather open 10 weeks other than actually following the rule book as it stands.

Thank you Chrissy.
9 years ago.
 Janet Brien
Janet Brien club
Yes, the interpretation is up to you. I want it to be "unclear" so that you make your own decision on what you would like to do. Maybe for Light you choose a light colored subject and then its pair the next week is something dark. Maybe you decide that Light refers to the absence of color so you have an image that is nearly white, and the next week, something nearly black. Perhaps you think of it from the point of photography and view light as translucence and the way light shines through things, and the next week you choose something in deepest shadow. What are other ways to think of Light and Dark? Something to think about!

Opposites is what you should pay attention to in your own project, so it would be best to concentrate on pairs of images, but if you prefer to just choose an image that fits the theme without regard to your two opposites working together, that's ok too! :)

This project, like all of them, are meant to be thought-provoking, and can be interpreted in many ways. I am constantly surprised by what people come up with, and there is no wrong answer as long as you work within the confines of the loose interpretation of each week's theme! :)
