Thanks, you can see his face quite clearly if you look at the large versionI much prefer #1, the selfie in front of the secret seven poster, where you can kind of see his face on the screen of his phone.
Gate/door people/person he’s a man of the people, you are lucky to get anything this weekI thought the secret seven poster was included to cover yourself should someone come along and say that's person not people. #1 for me.
Like @d00d and @Dave70D, I knew you'd not like this theme Allan.
So fair play in not only getting there, but getting it done early.
'tis a shame you admitted the selfie was accidental, it's a clever way of getting his face whilst taking the shot from behind.
As for the medieval shot. Well... Chester...
ThanksCatching up
- Week 0 - The lines and sleepers make a great pattern - works well in monochrome.
- Week 1 - Gate and brickwork full of character - not a tall gate (about 1.5m - si I'd have to duck or grouse).
Week 2 - The selfie shot for me - my first thought for the 2 chaps was 'Why is he peeing on his shield?'
Thank youI think #2 would have been my choice if we could see their faces, but I'm not comfortable taking photos of strangers either so I can understand why you didn't get them. On that basis, I like #1 because of the single dark figure and the colourful 'Secret Seven' poster behind him, which I thought was intentional and made it 'people' beyond any doubt. It's a nice contrast between the two, and the fact that he's taking a selfie is a nice bonus
ThanksFirst I think because the people is more distinct from the background. Well done for getting out and doing it. (n)
ThanksHi Allan No1 for me I like the pov and colours
I much prefer #1, the selfie in front of the secret seven poster, where you can kind of see his face on the screen of his phone.
ThanksI wonder what the poster on the other side was???????????????
Nice capture, well timed.
Pete
Thanks SusieWell the couple dressed up certainly look interesting .... the mind boggles!
But it’s Secret Seven and the Selfie for me it brought back wonderful memories of curling up in bed with my Secret Seven book when I was a kid so it won me over the minute I saw it. Well spotted Allan, I think it works really well for the theme.
ThanksIt it the Secret 7 and the Selfie for me too I like that the phone screen is really clear.
What a cracking stark contrast shot Allan, bang on theme. Goes very well in mono and like the gritty look to the shot, and the shadows are good, just love the dark and light
Thank you bothNice one Allan, really like this
Phil
ThanksDefinitely fits the theme, very stylish and very well thought out
ThanksLovely shot with great atmosphere.
Do you actually get some sunshine or did you light it? Either way it's well done and spot on for the theme
(also great minds think alike )
That's a beaut ... well done with the lighting and the general idea.
.... framing & all.
Thank youEvocative!
Thanks Tim, it was lucky the sun broke through on Friday it hasn’t happened sinceCool use of the light there.
It's great when all the planets line up and you are able to get something like this, but it also takes your eye to see it.
Thank you BerndGreat photo, absolutely nothing to criticise
ThanksReally like that Allan some great contrast and detail in there
