Zebs 52 week Challenge Week 16 Pride Added
 

After setting myself the goal of photographing a Kingfisher last year and spending the whole of December thinking of what to do this year I found the answer staring me in the face, the 52.
So lets give it a go, I’m thinking with the subject being announced on the Saturday night due to work I will have all week to think about it and spend the Saturday getting the shot it could be tight. So with that in mind I’m telling the kids no taxi’s for a while. :lol:

1 I will be using whatever camera and whatever lens I have to hand.
2 As I intend to have 3 holiday breaks this year I will put myself down for 4 Jokers

Hi Trevor, welcome to the 52 week projects. Good luck with it, I look forward to seeing your pics

Hello Trevor, and good luck!

ok have got my idea, never done this type of photo before so just gave it a try seems ok so will wait for some fine weather

Ok week one Direction

This was not going to be my original choice but it came to me in an inspiring moment this morning, not going down the religion path at all, it was just there waiting to be shot.

Canon 7d: 60mm Macro f2.8 1/4

Oh blooming heck, we've got a religious nut job here.
Might have to stay away from this thread :lol:

Serious comment though, a well taken and good interpretation of the theme. Good luck in all the following 52's.

excellent - I had at least two other ideas which didn't involve road signs but this is very different. I love the bit of tinsel (sparkly thing) peeping out too

Good take on the theme and I like your use of dof :thumbs: I'm slightly distracted by the glitter on the top right edge of The Book, that could do with being toned down imo.

Good sharp shot otherwise :D

Hi Trevor


lovely start to your 52 project....unusaul take on the theme but fits so great idea .Like the DOF...can't see any glittery bits ( naff monitor I think )so yup,good capture :clap:

Best of luck for the remaining 51 weeks :thumbs:

Cheer for the comments all yes totally agree about the glittery thing it is in fact the eagles head the bible was propped on but not going to clone it out as I think that the idea of the challenge to learn
Trevor

Have you and your Son become New Born by chance since I saw you two last Trev?;)

:nono:

:lol: just crap weather today

Nice interpretation and DOF works well.

Glitter has been mentioned.

Inch off the top works for me....:thumbs:

Cheers and good luck.

Hi Trevor, I like the pic, the stand has been mentioned, only other thing that would improve it, to my eyes at least would be to crop out a bit of the dead space at the top. :thumbs:

:agree: with what's already been said, good luck with the rest :thumbs:

Good luck Trev! :)

Thanks for the coments all i agree with the inch of the top :thumbs:

Good use of the theme and nicely executed with good use of DoF

Nice job, I like it. Not sure if a different verse would have suited better, thinking Psalm 139 would have worked nicely.

It was open at this page and just called to be Photographed

brilliant Trev, really superb focus and imaginative interpretation.
looking forward to seeing next weeks! ;)

Hi Trevor, after looking through yout flickr the other day looking for examples taken with the 10-20 I'm expecting lots of good things from you.

I like your shot and a nice take on the theme, really looking forward to seeing what else you come up with during the year.

ps...don't forget to update the spreadsheet...makes it far simpler to see who's done what....link in 1st post where the themes are posted up...I've updated wk 1 for you :thumbs:

Week 2 Fear
 

Ok this is my take on fear.

It was taken while I was at work in Chichester College forge I got permission to take a few shots but would have to take them as the students were working so I couldn’t get the exact shot I was looking for, despite the fire it was very dark and I had to up the iso to 4000.

Canon5d mk2: 24-105 L f5.6 at 1/100 ISO 4000

Week 2 Fear by zeb2012, on Flickr

wow that's a brilliant shot, often the flames are too bright, and I love the red hot poker. My dream job would be working in a forge :clap:

Hehe only a slight bit of noise there, but at ISO4000, seems bloody good to me.
Great shot though, weren't you lucky to be allowed in there.

Cant help but think it would have been better if you'd moved the scrap wire and ash from the coals before taking the shot though :whistling:

Nice one Trev, 5d mk2 eh... you lucky boy :D

How do you link it to fear?

I would say fear of fire? probably man's most primal fear? one of em anyway
