Trying this as my photography has hit a block and I've lost my way with it somewhat lately. Hopefully this will kick-start me again.

Well done :clap: look forward to seeing the pics.
 
Thanks for the encouragement peps and yes I tried the macro thing but got bored Trev :D
 
Nice one Alby, good luck with it.

I woke up this morning thinking about Giving a 52 a crack too ;)
 
Good luck, I went out this morning to get my shot and really enjoyed not just snapping at anything and having to think about the theme (y)
 
Thanks again chaps for the encouragement, hope I don't lose interest this time. I felt I needed to take something on after a tough year last year with one thing and another, my photography has definitely suffered.
 
Well this is the first one to get me up and running.
I used "direction" as a command to try and show directional movement through the lens.
Method: Handheld slow exposure twisting the zoom at the same time as the shutter is open (for anyone that hasn't worked it out).

Title: "Which way to the bog? Quick" :D

Would have liked to see something in focus in the middle for this effect, not bad though (y)

Hi Barbara, Thanks for the kind words. I struggled a bit last year getting about after my ankle surgery so all my photography when down hill somewhat. I'll always put my macro photography top of my list but just struggled to move about as freely as I normally would so did very little. Maybe this year will be better. ;)
 
Hi Alby, I am also sad to see no macro but am sure you will delight us all the same.
I really like the idea of this and but find the angle at the end of the hall way a bit distracting, not that you can do much about rebuilding for a photo! Can't wait to see the rest. :)
 
I like it for three main reasons. The first is its a completely original take on the theme. The second is that you've stretched and tried a completely different technique outside your comfort zone, and the third is that you've achieved a great picture of how christmas looks when you've drunk too much xmas sherry ;)
 
Nice to see you up and about again Alby, good luck with your 52, looks like it off to a good start - very ghostly feel to the image

Happy new year to you and your family

Graham
 
really effective shot Alby :) and the title is perfect!!!
look forward to seeing more

Thanks all, I don't have a drink too often but yes I'm sure I've felt like this photo before once or twice. :D
Happy new year to you and yours too Graham. ;)
 
Fear, well I don't really know. I have taken this theme to have a play with a bit of PP and come up with this. I might post something else without the extreme pp if I can think of something more original later in the week. But for now:

Title: "Be afraid, very afraid"
