Welcome to our P52! This project is designed to get you out with your camera once a week in a meaningful way. Each week I will post a prompt for you to consider. The prompts are merely suggestions, and you are free to shoot off topic if you wish. All images posted must be taken by you, be safe for work, and be taken with this project in mind. Please do not post archive photos. For a further discussion of the guidelines, please refer to this thread, and you can find the previous weeks linked there if you missed them. Feel free to join in at any time of the year, and you may go back to missed weeks if you still wish to participate.
Week 28: Animals
![main.jpg]( "main.jpg")
Welcome to week 28! This will be a fun week, at least hopefully, with photographing (non human) animals. This is a very open ended theme, any animal will do, from your pet to a worm, to a zoo creature. As long as it can move and isn’t human I want to see what you can find.

Very few pointers this week, but as with human subjects, do be mindful of your frame edges. Try not to crop at a joint, or skim off a foot/claw/wing, etc. Remember our discussions on using the rule of thirds, framing, and negative space to help strengthen your compositions.

If you decided to shoot some macro style images of insects, be mindful of your depth of field, and look for special details about your subject. I still try to find catchlights even for animals like bees and birds, although it’s not as critical as with humans. Do be sure not to disturb the habitat of your subject, and be extra mindful of stinging or biting subjects.

Bonus points for identification of subjects, but definitely not necessary. Most of all, have fun!
