The Final Ten Days of Ambient Achromatic August

[1designguy]

Instead of having a short three day forum posting at the end of the AAA Challenge, I'm throwing them into this one for a 10 day run. Thanks to all who have participated. A special thanks to those who have stuck with it day by day. I hope it has been as beneficial and enjoyable for each of you as it has been for me!

<b>What it is:</b> A month long personnal challenge in my PaD called "Ambient Achromatic August". Others are joining in. This is the posting for links for the second week of the challenge. These are the terms defined...

Ambient- pertaining to the natural or available light, light that exists without suppliment of strobe/flash/reflector, etc.

Achromatic- color that is distinguished by differences in lightness but is devoid of hue. Achromatic colors would be black, white, greys. (IR will fit nicely into this)

The idea is to capture natural interesting light (stripped of the distractions of color) focussing on light/contrast, composition and texture. IR will just allow the same result but open the entries up to light beyond the visible range.

Rules:

1. Have fun, be open, experiment and learn.
2. I am doing this as a PaD personal challenge but feel free to post outside of your PaD.
3. Post your daily links here. Include a link to this forum discusion within your image page.
4. Please only post the links or small images to keep from making the forum too lengthy.
5. Feel free to post or join in at any time.

The past weeks entries can be found here...
