Great idea for moderation Martin. Very sharp shot for 1/50th and camera held in only one hand presumably.
sorry be doing a bit of catch up
Week 9 - Finish nice idea it made me smile
like the re shoot (those cow's live in better houses then some people)
also no body should ever moderate the volume of any music some great takes on the themes

Nice idea for moderation Martin. I keep my volumes low, but use headphones with good seal to block outside noise. My hearing is already shattered from years of guitar playing I need to keep what's left
Congrats on your purchase of 500D. I actually quite like the blown white background. It works well with the scratchy brown colour of the wood and the camera body, except the hotshoe bit is nicely exposed. However I dislike the softness and the noisiness but that's the limitation of the compact camera.
I look forward to seeing more.
Hiya Martin,
Hmmm, tough call .... both are good but I think #2 stands out the best for me, composition wise although I think the focus on the shell is a bit better on #1.
A great take on the theme though, definitely looks like there is nobody home there
Cheers

Hi Dawn,
Swift reply - (nothing better to do on a saturday night - err sunday morning - join the club lol). I was torn like you. The more I look at them I think No1 is the one.I think it is the marbled stone effect competing with the snail patterning that might win it over.
Twas a last minute idea though. Been emptying baths and allsorts then remembered there was a Snail I spotted when cutting the grass the other day - and how it hadn't moved since. I wonder what it looks like streaking around somewhere

Hi Martin!
I like the second shot for empty the best!
Great work!

Bang on theme
#1 an attractive depth of field and focus is good. I'd be inclined to crop off the dark background. It is ashame you have cropped so tight to the shell.
#2 is too tight a crop and focus not good plus areas of the background look blown to me.
I like the stone background as it is rugged but not greedy for attention.
Hi Martin
great idea for Empty , love the colors on the rock & the detail you caught in the shell in the 1st shot & prefer the crop version
Great work
I popped on here to find a hinted at infamous 'open' picture...
Overall you've done really well with the themes and deserve congratulations
Keep it up
Hiya Martin,
Sounds like you had a great day out.
Actually I this photo!I think the colouring does it justice too .... adds an age feel to it.
Does seem to appear slanting a tad to the left, but other than that a fab image.
It reminds me that I must take a photo of the old Polaroid camera I salvaged from the recycle centre last year, in its leather case and also pop-up type. Still in working order too .... will have to get some fresh films and post some shots some time throughout my 52.
Cheers
Dawn
Hi, Martin, gotta love that camera, real nostalgia.
Photograph's not bad either...
I might take a trip to Bradford on Friday.
Armley Mills has a decent photography section, plus the rest!
A nicely aged feel to an image of a elderly object Well done, particularly with the restrictions placed upon you by circumstance.
Nice clear image martin, thought you had changed your camera again
Sent from my ZTE-U V880 using TP Forums
Thanks Dawn. I had some much to clone out and crop I was a bit limited with the final positioning. Still, glad you like it.
Sounds like a good find , that old polaroid. I saw some great retro cameras at the museum. It would be quite novel to the thread if you posted some polaroids - go for it
watch this space for the Polaroid shots (you have to stay with the game to see them )
Hey I may even take some pics with the old Konica Autoreflex camera (circa 1973) for this project
Cheers
Dawn
konica Autoreflex - blimey
and an absolute beaut too, with leather casing, strap and all

Would be good to see some posted pics from it but probably wouldn't be practical on the 52 with the timescale available and the time consuming turnaround of film to pic. You could always post something on another thread if that is the case
How many Polaroid photographs have I/my family thrown away over the years??
