weekly Summer's 52 - week 51 negative

Summer - That's a great photo for Abstract! Fantastic colours and shapes. (y) I would have preferred a crop with the same amount of dead space on all sides of the circle, but it's only a very minor niggle.
 
thanks Michael. I wasn't sure whether to use a distort or not but my zoom bursts and close-ups just weren't doing it for me
 
thanks Nathalie, there's always something I miss... :LOL:
 
Abstract is a cracker...totally on theme, at least how I interpret it....:D

Minor point but have to say, there's a bit of extra room on the right and bottom.

Cheers.
 
Bet you wish you'd saved your hat now eh?!

Great shot. I love the colours and the clean contrast with the black.

It's a tiny bit off centre which is a shame with such a shape, but that's minor.

Wonderful!
 
thanks guys, it's a rainbow-coloured garden spinner made up of 3 circles. I took the shot on slow shutter to get motion blur then pp'd it with 'pinch and whirl' in Picasa :) oh yeah and I painted the bg black to get rid of the grass.
 
Crazy shot Summer, love the colours and the rippling effect. ;)
 
thanks guys - Nick the 'thing' is explained 2 posts above yours :LOL: also you can see an 'original' on my flickr
 
Random - nice colours, definitely is random so good for the theme!

Temperature - good demonstration of temperature. Clever thermometers these things, love how they work.

Abstract - nice!! Different again. Good clear patterns and good colour coming through
 
symmetry next :) if only I had a model :(
 
Hi Summer


finally found it ....I'd seen your image earlier but never got round to commenting & then couldn't remember whose it was :bonk:


Love it ,love it,love it....oh yes.... & I love it , great colors ,very striking....superb :clap::clap:
 
thank-you Lynne :)

symmetry - took me ages to do this and I'm still not happy with the light :( the glasses are hand made and it was only after I'd done it that I realised the patterns are slightly different on each one

grrrrrrrrr

Hi Summer the light must have been really difficult to handle, but you have done a good job on it (y).The image seems slightly on an angle as in the left hand glass looks further back :thinking:.
Just a thought but 1 glass on its own would still be symmetrical.
 
Hi, I'm on my phone but I do like the simplicity of your symmetry. It looks nice
.and sharp.

As Alan said the perspective looks slightly out.

Cheers.
 
As the others have said, its a little off. Would be better straight on. Think that is going to be key with this weeks theme.

Good thinking with the glasses, looks a nice shot. Simple and effective.
 
As said it's nice and sharp although not quite exactly symmetrical but no major issues with that. I can't decide whether a 90 degree rotation would work.
 
Oooh, symmetrical subject shot asymmetrically! It works extremely well like that, I love it! Can't fault it :)
 
ahhh for all the lovely comments I thank you, it still annoys me tho :LOL: stoopid glasses
 
well done Summer, i like this, you've managed the focus and lighting well
 
ok I have done 3 - yay

first is a re-shoot of money - I actually took this as part of the original money set but decided not to use it. For the re-shoot part I redid the processing


thre'penny bit by moominmama, on Flickr

I also wanted to redo symmetrical and spotted this one today, it's kind of symmetrical but also not, as the right hand arch has a path but the left hand arch has a river. It would have been better had I stood in the river to get the pillar more central *hmmm* must get some wellies

thanks Andy - much better than the spinning-coin attempt :banana:
 
thanks Mike, I have a vague idea lol I was fiddling around so much with this and that. I will try and recreate it and make notes :)
 
HI Summer

think all's been said on Symmetry , like the idea , nice n sharpe & beautiful glasses :)

Reshoot's....great detail in the coin , all the wear marks add texture...nice shoot (y)

Not so taken with your Symmetry reshoot , sorry , nothing wrong with it just not appealing :crying:

LOVE the barbed wire for Moddy....great choice of pp...lovely :clap:
 
Money reshoot - love this, great focus and level of detail. Excellent.

Symmetry reshoot - not working for me, like you say wellies and standing in the river may have made this one better and probably a wider a shot to see the arches properly.

Moody - another good one, the mood is definitely there!
 
Money is excellent nice detail on the coin

Symmetry not sure about i see what you were doing but its not quite there

Moody very good and nice processing :clap:
