Thank you

hayley.price · 10-01-2013, 17:45

wonderful shot,

MWHCVT · 10-01-2013, 20:01

Oh that is wonderful the soft green's really complement the delicate white of the flowers, the focus and DoF are spot on and the composition is great also over all a stunning flower photo

phil_b · 10-01-2013, 20:09

That is really really nice. Lovely focus, depth of field and colours.. frame it!

whipspeed · 11-01-2013, 07:22 **Thread Starter**

Thanks all, glad you like it

Phil, I would if I had any room on my walls!

toadstool · 11-01-2013, 10:41

Sarah, yesterdays is stunning!

ShoeQueen · 11-01-2013, 11:41

Don't know how I missed this yesterday - simple but lovely - really like it.

whipspeed · 11-01-2013, 11:51 **Thread Starter**

Thanks both

Not sure what I'm doing today, not really thought about it

or the weekend although I'd like to get out & do some landscapes if we get some frost/snow.

Friends Meeting House

Built in 1819, this is a wonderful building from the town where I live and grew up. Built of local ironstone in the Georgian style it is fairly hemmed in by other buildings now, but retains a real air of peace and tranquility.

Lovely looking place - nicely captured

whipspeed · 11-01-2013, 13:35 **Thread Starter**

Thanks Jim, might go back again if we get a nice snowy day with some sunshine, it's a bit of a grey damp old day today.

shotokan101 · 11-01-2013, 13:43

If you do - it might be nice to see what a lower shooting viewpoint looks like and a snow scene would be great I think with all the gravestones snow-topped - might even make a great mono

whipspeed · 11-01-2013, 13:45 **Thread Starter**

Know what you mean, I took this at about waist height as I didn't want the graves to appear small, but yes even lower would be even better, especially with a bit of snow on them. Fingers crossed for the snow they are forecasting for Sunday/Monday & I might post another

carolthomasburns · 11-01-2013, 13:50

very calm place and so beautiful (looking at the old gravestones - lovely again) Like you say will look lovely with snow - good luck for the snow (though as long it stays down south I'll be happy lol) Great shot Sarah

whipspeed · 11-01-2013, 13:56 **Thread Starter**

Thanks Carol

~Sam~ · 11-01-2013, 15:04

The photo of your flower is just gorgeous - love the composition and the delicate pinks in the petals. Such a shame you don't have more wall space because I agree that it would look lovely printed

You are right about the Friends Meeting House and you have captured that tranquility really well. I've never seen gravestones in what looks like the back garden of someone's home!

whipspeed · 11-01-2013, 15:11 **Thread Starter**

Does look like a house garden doesn't it

The place was purpose built as a chapel & this garden fronts onto the road, there are a couple of car parking spaces behind where the tripod is in this shot. Think some of these date back to when the building was built, but there were quakers in town from 1649, but they just met in houses.
I'm finding out quite a bit about the town with this project

Sonriendo · 11-01-2013, 18:59

It does look like a lovely peaceful spot. I love the way that the grave stones are all uniform size yet leaning higgledy piggledy.

Cg_Girl · 11-01-2013, 22:22

That's Beautiful and i'm now hoping it snows.. as i think reading your comments with Jim that would look lovely

MWHCVT · 11-01-2013, 23:14

Looks like a wonderful place

and boy I bet they never hear a peep out of the neighbours

whipspeed · 12-01-2013, 07:06 **Thread Starter**

Thanks all

There was one problem with a neighbouring house though, which stands at the front of this place, it was found to be the local house of ill repute!

phil_b · 12-01-2013, 07:38

Nice shot again Sarah, it is a nice old building. Funny, there is one near me too, you have given me another idea!

whipspeed · 12-01-2013, 07:40 **Thread Starter**

Glad it's given you an idea, nice we can pass some back and forth.

I will really need all the ideas I can get, back to work on Monday and I'm going to be camera-less for a couple of weeks while I get my back focus issues sorted out so I'm going to struggle.

whipspeed · 12-01-2013, 07:48 **Thread Starter**

That's going to make it tough for you, have you got a camera phone? What about colleagues, would they join in? Say shots of people working, someone eating lunch? I'm quite lucky I work in a small office and the others I work with will go along with things.

phil_b · 12-01-2013, 08:00

Yea, have a camera phone and an old Olympus compact so will have to make do. It will make things more interesting.

kennysarmy · 12-01-2013, 14:20

Gorgeous flower and stunning building both captured very well, especially the building considering the weather we are having....

whipspeed · 12-01-2013, 16:59 **Thread Starter**

Yes, it was a bit dull yesterday, have to admit to a bit of NIK photo effects use on that one, using the sunshine filter, it works a treat to lift the light. I thought when I was taking it, this is going to need a bit of work. Plus used a 9 stop filter that seems to add warmth to the detail as well.
