Hi Charlie.

:thumbs: Great idea for your challenge.
Request for 22nd August because that's the week of my birthday. Could I have a purple themed shot please?

[CGeezer]

Jumping from an aeroplane and taking photos of the plane as you drop. Or exhaust.

Your choice 31/01

Cracking idea :clap:

[ProG77]

Jun 27th - Something related to Racquet Sports (start of Wimbledon!). Doesn't necessarily have to be tennis themed, but any sport that involves a racquet. Ta.
Good luck!


Hi Charlie.

:thumbs: Great idea for your challenge.
Request for 22nd August because that's the week of my birthday. Could I have a purple themed shot please?

Wow, what a co-incidence. My wife's birthday is that same week and she is mad about purple too! Shall be looking out for the image!

[c_robinson]

Right, really dissapointed with the 1st shot for this, had one hell of a couple of days, culminating in my grandfather being admitted to hospital last night where he'll see out his few days left!
rushed something together, a subject i love over christmas, and it's the only time of year i get to eat them!!

[c_robinson]

Thanks folks, Any C+C on todays image?

BobRachelBob- Thans for the comment, one of those things in life you have to deal with at some point, just never nice!

7th Feb has gone, 10th sept is not a date i'm doing, however will put you in for 5th sept if that's ok?

[CGeezer]

I was just thinking how good that image is Charlie. It could easily be used in their next sales drive. Has a very warm feeling and great lighting and I really hope that is NOT an empty box you are shooting :lol:

[c_robinson]

Thanks for the PM john!

The shot was of an empty box, and the lighting was with a new lamp in our living room, has 3 seperate high power lamps, all 3 adjustable, just fired it right up and saw what came out, that image was the 2nd of about 8 i shot!

[Greedier]

Your pic shows what can be done with your surroundings when your feeling creative..

Chocolate can relate to love in so many ways and i think you've captured that within the pic with its warm colours.

Liking the first image Charlie, has a really good, romantic atmosphere to it :D

[c_robinson]

cheers dan!

Thanks for the suggestions so far folks, 'cracking' as our favourite lady from Barry Island would say!
List updated, but keep 'em coming!! :)

[SarahLee]

Wow, what a co-incidence. My wife's birthday is that same week and she is mad about purple too! Shall be looking out for the image!

Very Strange!!!!

And even stranger, Charlie, you have the same birthday as me . . . mine's 24th too!

My birthday so please don't disappoint :nono: :nuts:

[Lase]

March 14th : Retired / On the scrapheap / Finished

[c_robinson]

Righty ho then folks, here's no2 of my 52, theme: Sunny (thanks to Kapawayna)

as the sun was going down on our days snow play, i suddenly thought.. '****.... my 52!!'

not a fan of angled shots but didn't have any time to move to get the shot, so had to twist a little!


http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww126/cnrphotography/2-1.jpg


Let me know what you think

Regards
Charlie

PS: there's still loads of themes left for you to suggest, get involved and see the outcome!

[Impspeed]

Not too keen on this Charlie. I don't think the angled composition really adds anything to the shot and I think the sledger is too dark to draw the eye in...

Not sure how to improve it personally - colours are good but maybe a bit of a straighten (bit too extreme) and a bit of fill flash to bring out the main focus point?

DB

[c_robinson]

got to agree dave, fill flash would have worked a treat! DOH
live and learn and all that!

[SarahLee]

Hi Charlie,

Good to see this getting off the ground, you seem to have enough themes to keep you going for the first 2 months now.

I think you're downplaying how creative your week No.1 shot is.
OK I'm biased because they're my favourite chocs, but I still think you've done well with it.
Unusual angle, good lighting and I love the warm gold and brown tones. It might be a simple subject, but I like this one very much :thumbs:


:thinking: Week 2 I'm not too sure about.

The things I really like about it are the reflection of the sunset on the snow (beautiful quality of light and stunning colours :love:) and the silhouette of the fence through the middle of the shot with the shadows extending out onto the ground.
You've captured both of these perfectly.

The main subject isn't really working for me though (sorry)
Too much detail to work as a silhouette, but too dark to really catch my eye.
I know it was one of those shots that you grab while you can, but for me the composition isn't quite there either. I'm finding the angle too extreme and the sledder too close to the LHS - he looks about to disappear off the edge of the frame.

All the elements for a potentially brilliant shot are there but they just haven't quite come together this time. Just slightly different timing and framing and I think you would have been there.

Keep going though - I'm really looking forward to seeing week 3.

I know I've already picked a theme for you, but if I'm allowed to choose a second I'll throw a bit of a wild card in for 14th March - the theme is to be "whatever is chosen for the main 52 that week"
Thought I'd give you one week where you'll get a bit of a surprise and not be able to prepare too far in advance :lol:

[Marcos James]

I know things have been a little hectic lately Charlie but any more updates for this ??
