Re: 2008 PUG themes - revised
Per Marnie's suggestions. These descriptions are simply my inspiration for selecting these themes and ordering them as I did. Please don't take them as suggestions for how/what you should shoot. January - Photowalking - Paul is really good at this sort of thing. See his series titled It Happens on Woodward. http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=703152 February - 'Tis the Season - I put this in February to allow plenty of time for Holiday photos. March - Macro and Close-up April - Portrait - Feel free to photograph scantily clad models with funky lighting. :-) May - Red Shirt - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Shirt_School_of_Photography June - 11th Anniversary Gallery! - Should be self-explanatory. Looks like we haven't had an anniversary PUG since '99. July - Sports and Action August - Architecture September - Documentary and Reportage October - Etc... - the super-PESO, per Walt. November - Equinox Synchronicity - Equinox is in late September, possibly too late to get your photos in for October. Thus, the PUG is in November. December - Landscape and Nature - Lots of night time industrial photos, please! Just kidding. Shoot what you want. It's your PUG, not mine. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: 2008 PUG themes - revised
Har! I had never heard it called that, but it is true to an extent. Red was the preferred color in landscapes because of the preponderance of green. Yellow was preferred in seascapes because of the blue. Green and Blue being considered neutral colors it was felt that a bit of Red or Yellow warmed the picture up and provided a bit of visual excitement. I think it had more to do with bored photographers than bored viewers.
