weekly Adamcski 52 for 2024 Week 14 Gob shot

[Adamcski]

Some exceedingly nice watches there. I agree re the lighting, suits them well.

Thanks @RyanB

It has taken me a while to build up a watch collection and firmly lay the blame of the addiction at the feet of my late grandad!!

 

[BobBCN]

Yes, perfect theme-wise and nicely lit.

 

[Boots]

Nicely lit and composed. Really liking the SMP and the Spring Drive.

 

[Adamcski]

Thanks again folks.

I've more free time tomorrow to catch up on everyone's posts this week also.

 

[Cloudforest]

A nice bit of lighting and a good idea for the theme.

 

[Nikon f1.8]

Sorted out the watch box so it's now neat and tidy

You have a nice collection there, hope they are insured as that case will take some replacing. Loving the Spring Drive, great face on it. Well done.

Thanks

Everything I have is insured, watches, bikes, cameras. Drives my wife mental shopping for the house insurance every year lol

 

[HelenC]

Snappers: really effective images. Impressive. I don't have that much patience.
Neat and tidy: that's a very nice collection.

 

[SimonH]

Nice collection!

 

[Adamcski]

It's filthy and needs a clean.

[RyanB]

I think your idea of filthy and mine differ vastly Adam...

 

[BobBCN]

Yep, we can assume that filthy is definitely subjective. What I often see as ok, the better half sees dust an inch thick.

 

[-Oy-]

Nice shot Adam. Squeaky clean haha!

 

[Adamcski]

Ah, wheels are gloss black, but it's dirty for me lol

 

[nog]

Nice wheels, level of filth is subjective and looks like the jury is still out on this one

 

[Adamcski]

To me it's filthy it hasn't been washed in months

 

[Kell]

Nice Abarth.

I'll have to take your word that it's filthy as that looks very clean compared to my car.

To be fair, I used to be obsessed about cleaning mine - to the point that I imported a Portacable from the US before they were available over here.

Not so much these days.

 

[HelenC]

I'm also failing to see the filth

 

[Simonbrown16]

I can just about (Squinting my eyes!) see a speck of dirt on there, no no sorry its my screen Nice set of wheels

 

[Adamcski]

You lot must drive some mucky cars...that's all I can say lol

 

[Adamcski]

Sorry, I have been AWOL my daughter was assaulted last week so it has been bottom of my to do list.





Feeling quite down and haven't done anything camera wise. So decided I would try some still life (I hate still life photography as I am not very good at it lol).

Anyway a WHOLE apple and some Blue berries....I ate the whole lot

 

[nickbee]

I hope your daughter's OK.

Less importantly I love the tone of the blueberries shot, the lighting and choice of background are perfect.

 

[Cloudforest]

Sorry to hear that. I hope your daughter is okay.
The blueberry shot works nicely - the lighting suits the subject.

 

[Adamcski]

On hold dealing with daughters assault and police matters. Will try and catch up at some point.

Missing week themes:

Wk 9 hidden

Wk 10 textures / textured (vivid tech for march and April).

Wk 11 personal

 

[Adamcski]

Okay, I think I have caught up...

Week 9 Hidden. This is macro shot 2x magnification with the laowa 100mm and shows the anther (if google is correct) just starting to open and reveal the hidden pollen inside.


Week 10 is textures and here we have a high resolution (think they are 96 odd MP) 2 x macro of a 2p coin, showing some texture.



Then week 11 is personal and I have gone for the tech also by making the image more VIVID by increasing the saturation, vibrance and tint in lightroom. It is a PERSONAL hate of mine, that I am having to do some DIY and fix a few things. So again, small screw on the kitchen worktop shot at 2 x magnification.

 

[Adamcski]

Will try and keep up now. Police aren't doing a fat lot, it's been about three weeks since we had any communication from them.

 

[HelenC]

A good catch up. I particularly like the colour and bokeh for personal. Great processing.

 

[BobBCN]

A superb catch up with great shots for every single theme.

Also, hoping your daughter is ok and able to overcome the incident.

Thanks @HelenC I was a little unsure what to do for the tech so I'm glad it came out okay.

Thanks @BobBCN appreciate the kind words.

 

[-Oy-]

Good stuff Adam

 

[Adamcski]

Tried to make it a little fun and thematic

Shadows and Silhouette

 

[Boots]

That's nice!

 

[Kell]

Nice - and perfectly timed for Easter.

 

[nog]

Fits the theme and Easter

 

[BobBCN]

Yes, an Easter bunny!! Good timing and nicely done for the theme.

 

[cptnm]

Personal - great shot, I never would have thought of a screw for the vivid tech!
Shadow - love the focus on the bunny & another good idea for a very fitting pic

 

[Simonbrown16]

Such a simple and well-thought-out picture perfect for the theme!

 

[Adamcski]

Sorry, manic week at work and I will catch up with all the comments tomorrow as I have a much easier day tomorrow.

Anyhow, saw this and thought it looked a little unkempt. Did toy with a B&W image but couldn't get to a point I liked with it.

 

[BobBCN]

Fits the bill perfectly. I imagine that whatever is behind the door will also be unkempt.
