Handmade - Nice shot, good colours and angles of the pencils
Abstract -very interesting! Like the reflection in the glass. Nice background.
Soft - love puddy cat! They are very soft. Lovely colours and markings, and the angle again is great.
Shiny - could have been one for abstract. Definitely shiny, nice clean image.
Symmetry - good lens shot. Simple and well executed.
Strong composition in all pictures!
Shiny - certainly shiny and good colour. But I am not sure whether there is a focus and there is no context to what is the object so it leaves me a bit underwhelmed.
Symmetry - good idea, well executed. Light reflections are particularly good with nice exposure
Industry - i really like the sepia/washed out treatment - suits the subject. It is like one of those old sepia shots where they applied a colour wash to certain parts afterwards. Pity that there was 2 lines of trucks as one would have been better because the engine is obscured/ cut off, but that is what you had to work with.
Leave - another good idea but in mono i find the subject a bit hard to work out. Colour would probably be too busy but, without flogging the technique, it might lend itself to the treatment in Industry.
Hi Vicky, really like your industry shot, what processing did you do on this? It works really well. Leave, I like the take on the theme and a little difficult to choose between the 2, I keep going to the b+w version though, the effect on the cutlery is pretty cool, 2 version is nice, but the b+w takes top spot for me.
Hi, Vicky, your doing a cracking job of catching up Having just spend, over 2 days, about 12 hours filtering and editing my TP meet photographs I'm frazzled so can only manage to comment of a few...
Abstract edit is a cracker: vivid colours, flair on the glass and I actually like the reflection of the hut.
Leave (B&W), really like this one. It looks very grim, almost like Hannibal Lecter's plate
Industry, well processed. Think I's like to see it from looking more towards the writing on the cart, if you know what I mean
Cheers.
Handmade Im afraid I dont get the connection with the theme but I do like the photo. Nice angle & DoF
Abstract I like the inverted refraction through the glass and the edit is far brighter and gets my vote of the two
Soft Definitely soft and an aaahhh picture
Shiny I cant decide what this is water on foil?
Symmetry Nice and symmetrical and I quite like the tones in the shot
Industry Youve caught a real example of past industry there and the toned down pping works well
Ooh I hadn't noticed that - thanks, I'll remove it.Leave On theme with my preference being the colour version. The only niggle is the blue line on the fork
Hope your camera recovers soon. You were doing a good job at starting to catch up
...and one more, because my wonderful husband decided to play along:
Secure
...I feel compelled to mention that the handcuffs were bought specifically for this shot (and I have the eBay receipts to prove it!).
Hi Vicky
Joy - good idea. Perhaps not centred and the 'j' seems to have swung round slightly. Difficult lighting but the 'joy' stands out well. I like the way that the shiny reflective surfaces at the top have been handled but the tiles lack detail. Really original idea
Sweet - like the different colours and a good black background. Well handled lighting and I like the composition woth the top one breaking up and the bite out of the bottom one . Perhaps bottom of stand should not be cropped so tight
Secure - Spot on theme. Good spare treatment - maybe a little too much space to left. like the focus and the mono adds to the pic.
Some very nice shots in your thread!
I particularly like the abstract reshoot.
I think your joy offering is a really good idea.
Maybe people who don't know the themes etc wouldn't actually spot the word at first
so perhaps there's a kind of a hidden message aspect to it?
really like what you did with sweet
hi Vicky, took me ages to see the Joy in your joy shot because my attention was on the oven, I think a tighter crop would improve this. Sweet is lovely, I always like colour, and it's even better when the rest of the shot is neutral. Only niggle is that the biscuits seem a little oof to me. secure, good shot
Hi, Vicky, you're catching up fast
Joy in B&W works really well. The top half looks really sharp and contrasty....wonder what a wider DOF would look like. Nice steam and I like the idea....not my idea of joy though...cooking... My main concern is the bright BG above the hob.
Sweet, great, vibrant colours, crisp whites and uber dark blacks....I'd prefer it without the lower base.
Secure...my first reaction was but I like it. It have a very photo-documentary feel to it and B&W was the only choice. Hands look a tad bright in place.
Good set...keep up with the catch up...
Cant see Secure and Joy
Sweet - yum! They look nice! Good colours but could do to be a tad brighter. And I would have avoided clipping the plate edges.
Nice clean background though and that helps the macaroons stand out.
It looks like when I update the pics on Flickr the links change slightly - how annoying is that! I've updated them so they should be there now.
If I make them any brighter / more saturated on my screen, it looks wrong - like I've coloured them in. Especially the dark pink one in the foreground. Is your monitor calibrated?
Monitor is fine, just know how colourful they can be so hence the comment. I was only talking about a tab brighter anyway. Nothing to major.
Hope you had a good break?? I had a week in Wales a couple of years ago - I too had 6 days rain in the 7 day holiday, no wonder the Welsh are so miserable all the time
You've really nailed the lighting on this one Vicky, good work there
I like the composition too, but just wonder if a tighter crop maybe square would help it along as I feel there is too much empty space at the sides.
Potential with the subject to have different compositions too, maybe with them set up as if they are walking? Iain
