2026 Week 23 Faded

[nog]

Nice shot, been a while since Ive been on one of them You would have gone down if it was dry though?

 

[Nostromo]

It's a slippery slope. Nice curves.

 

[NickD]

101 ways to smash a camera! Yep, that fits. Hits the tech too IMO.

 

[Darkslinger]

Great shot Alan! I would have worked for the perspectives challenge as well. You could also use it for the technique I think.

Contrasts In Colour by Alan Webb, on Flickr

Goodwood Road Racing Club - new colour badge each year for Fellowship members

 

[SimonH]

works well Alan!

 

[SimonH]

Nicely thought through Alan. And a nice collection there!

 

[wornish]

Fits the theme well.

 

[Kell]

Curves is great - but it just immediately bring to mind those 'epic fail' videos of adults trying to get down a slide like that and being thrown over the side.

Also like the collection of badges. It's weird but the colourways remind me of my old Working Men's Club club cards.

 

[Darkslinger]

Great idea Alan, well shot.

 

[nog]

Nice collection with just enough lighting

 

[NickD]

I like that. Low key, but the colour still comes through.

 

[Nostromo]

A nice collection you've got there.

I like curves - I wonder if a tighter crop and mono conversion would further enhance?

Thanks. It was a "grab and go" shot from the phone so minimal post-prod. I must get into the habit of checking for the technical challenges, they always pass me by and yet that will help me improve.

Geometry by Alan Webb, on Flickr

This is a Trig Point. Trigonometry was surely in the Geometry part of my "O" levels.

 

[SimonH]

Great idea for the theme Alan. Can’t beat some “…metry”

 

[nog]

Good idea, always good when you get to them

 

[-Oy-]

Nice shot Alan. Reminds me of my first job when I left school. I wonder how many people have actually used a Theodolite at one of those

 

[Darkslinger]

That's a good one Alan, simple and effective.

 

[NickD]

Nice. I like the contrast of the brutal monolith against the surrounding nature.

 

[Barney]

2001 A space Odyssey

[Allan.H]

Love the geometry shot Simple’s and effective

Weathered Surface by Alan Webb, on Flickr

Were you expecting a selfie for this one?

 

[-Oy-]

A bit potty but I like it

 

[Allan.H]

Nicely weathered old terracotta pot

 

[nog]

Still expecting a selfie from someone , nice looking pot

 

[Nostromo]

A good use of oof foreground.

 

[Darkslinger]

That is a lovely shot Alan, I think that the composition is excellent.

 

[SimonH]

That's a nicely weather pot Alan.

I find the big leaf a little distracting, but that's probably just me.

I find the big leaf a little distracting, but that's probably just me.

It's either a distraction or a leading line, I had both opinions during the processing
