weekly DK's 2012 '52' - UPDATED 28-12-12

Hi DK

Joy - #2 is best I think, better composition and i think that the look on his face is certainly on theme. Good feel of movement with the reeds, the water splash, his hair and his number.

 

[Dark Knight]

Hi...Joy #2 for me...the guy's face just oozes emotions, one of which is Joy.

Cheers.

Hi Andy - Thanks for that

Get you for being up to date

I knowwwwwssss - good init

I like #2. The guy is definitely enjoying himself and certainly portrays joy.

Thanks Peter

Hi Alan - Many Thanks

 

[Allan.H]

I can't decide which one both portray the subject better so you should choose

 

[Bilko]

That Moody shot's a cracker. I like your Joy pictures too. Well caught.

 

[jgs001]

Moody, excellent, a decent from ok into dark and gloomy,the crep rays under the sun help add to the overall moodiness.

Joy, excellent, he does indeed look pleased to have got to the end... I didn't see #1, and I'm guessing this is a cropped version for #2... #3 is good, but doesn't fit quite so well to my mind as #2

Hi John.. Thanks

I think I follow you

Thanks a lot

 

[sturisoma]

as I said on flickr no.2 is brilliant, I love it

 

[The goblin]

Hi DK I swear I've commented on these before:suspicious: Or maybe I thought about it:bonk:

Moody, I really like the detail in the sky, definitely adds to the mood! I did look at your other shots on Flickr, I think I preferred one of those but can't remember now :nuts:

Joy, number two for me. Like others have said the expression on his face and the number on his ticket really bring it all together.

 

[gramps]

Looks like great fun, even if you do have to shackle them to the board to get them to do it - Agree with above the expression does it all.

 

[ChickenDipa]

I missed your Joy shot, how bad of me.

I like the joy shots, people are great at expressing joy and you've captured it really well.

#2 I think, prefer the angle of the guy and the pose.

So you getting the crown back???

 

[Southdowns]

It has to be joy 2 I reckon, just for the joy on that blokes face. Great capture!

Accepted with pleasure

 

[Dark Knight]

Right... not the shot I was after, I spent a couple of hours yesterday chasing ants around... my god they are fast

171 shots deleted of blurry ants so here is a reserve shot -

Thought I would take a close up of a daisy and sitting there was this fly, it was so small I did not see it until I focused - so here is my shot

Wk26 'Small'




Wk26 Small by TP DK..., on Flickr

 

[The goblin]

Cracking shot DK, the composition is spot on with the background nicely blurred. Just enough of the daisy to add scale to the fly The detail in the fly is great with the light catching on the delicate wings

Not the shot I was after but ok for a late substitute

 

[michael23]

Still a good shot though Dean. Shows the theme well and dof is very good too.

 

[posiview]

Hi, there. Small, wow that is small Liking the detail in the wings.

Cheers.

 

[superpippo]

Hi DK

Small - very nice detail and colour in the wings and good capture of the delicate legs. On theme

 

[Delta Skies]

Good one. As Alan has said it's great how you've captured the rainbow of colours in the wings.

[blakester]

Bang on theme Dean you've captured great detail in the wings. How is the polishing going?

I stopped on the way home to get the following shot, I may add another before the end of the week but for the moment here it is

Wk28 - a 'Straight' row of wind turbines


wk28 - 'Straight' by TP DK..., on Flickr

Now where did I leave that Brasso for Iain

 

[The goblin]

I like that DK. Lovely sunset draws your eye then the suns rays lead you to the start of the turbines

 

[Delta Skies]

Nice one Dean. You've captured some nice light there and captured the theme as well. I like the sun rays and the blur on some of the blades.

 

[Allan.H]

I like straight always liked a good wind farm, nice sunset, exposure and nice composition

Small looks like some kind of wasp excellent

 

[jgs001]

Excellent shot for small... I'm no expert, but I think it's an Ichneuman Wasp (that's probably not spelt right either )... good detail, and as has been said, just enough daisy..

Straight, works great, lovely tones, and spot on for the theme, with more than one straight.

 

[BobBCN]

Great image, fits the theme and nice sunset!

 

[dade_f]

nice silhoettes and sunset.
Perhaps consider taking a slower shutter exposure so you capture more of the movement. The dark patch of cloud on the right catches my eye - perhaps clone this out

 

[*Sarah*]

Great image DK, you did well to catch such a lovely sunset this week, dood compositio and exposure as well!!

 

[Bilko]

That's a cracking picture of those turbines.

 

[Dark Knight]

I like that DK. Lovely sunset draws your eye then the suns rays lead you to the start of the turbines

Thanks Marsha

I wasn't too sure, I had a little niggle that the sun would keep taking your eye away from the 'line' but guess I have got away with it

Nice one Dean. You've captured some nice light there and captured the theme as well. I like the sun rays and the blur on some of the blades.

Cheers Peter

I tried for more blur to be honest, but it was getting late I wanted my tea so couldn't be arsed to get the tripod out the boot - so all handheld

I like straight always liked a good wind farm, nice sunset, exposure and nice composition

Thanks Allan

Small looks like some kind of wasp excellent

Ah Haaaaa... Thanks

 

[posiview]

Lots of straights there: blades, horizon, towers, sun rays, to name a few.

Nice colour in the sunset.

Motion blur in the near blades would be the icing on the cake.

Cheers.

 

[michael23]

Liking that. The sun really adds something to it and nice composition.

 

[Dark Knight]

Cheers John... and for identity too

Straight, works great, lovely tones, and spot on for the theme, with more than one straight.

Thanks again

Great image, fits the theme and nice sunset!

Cheers Bob

Hi Dade... I sure will do a longer exposure, I drive past them, and they are less than a mile from my house, so will be keeping an eye on descent skys from now on

As for the dark patch... well spotted, it does once you see it

Cloned out with spot tool/ replaced with light cloud

Hi Sarah, Many Thanks... Have you been on the wine by any chance

That's a cracking picture of those turbines.
