I know what you mean - even talking in church was wrong when I was little. I couldn't help but think of a recent scene in White Lotus - if you've seen it, you'll know what I meanThat definitely qualifies. It makes a really nice scene. Despite being entirely unreligious, there's often something compelling in religious art. It makes for a compelling image.
The sound in churches is usually great, but I feel a little queasy playing in them.
Thanks BillI think that this fits the theme perfectly Bebop. Well spotted.
Thanks Helen. It was!Fits the theme nicely for me. Sounds like an interesting location too.
Many thanks Jim. It is very lovely tactile woodI like them both, really warm tones of that lovely wood and a good take on the theme. Good job!
Thanks Pete. You're right, it is warmer isn't it? I had to warm them both up a little as stupidly I photographed it on a green sofa which has reflected on it a little. That's where the best light was.Very creative. I'm pleased you explained what it is.
I like them - both very "curvy" and the first is a little warmer.
Thanks Nod, I'm with you on that and very well spotted. It's a Warwick LX Streamer Jazzman. I do love the grain too and the curves are very tactile.I prefer the framing of the first one. The way the highlight runs up from the bottom corner gives a pleasing leading line (to my eyes!)
Pretty grain - I'm a sucker for it!!!
What brand is the bass? Looks a bit like a Warwick but there are so many.
Hmm yes I agree a bit more room to the right would probably improve it. I was being a little lazy as I left the strap attached and that was casting a bit of a shadow. I should have also laid it on something other than the green sofa which was putting a nasty cast on it.Lovely!
I think you chose the stronger of the two (but both are very good). The first one, in my view, has a more defined reflection in the curve on the lower left, which is very strong.
I might personally look for a slight tweak to the crop, as I find the bottom right feels a bit tight. A little more, or less, there might improve the image overall.
Thanks Dave. You were right I think it has featured in a few 52 pics over the yearsI thought that was something to do with a guitar of sorts, lovely shot and both are nice.
Many thanks BillA beautiful, almost abstract shot. Loving the colour tones as well.
Thanks Helen. It does have lovely rounded edges, so it has been stroked many timesBoth good shots but something about #1 has a touchy feely vibe to it.. makes me want to stroke it as it looks so tactile!
Oh my goodness you are speedy today! Thanks Dave - we're all needing a bit of warmth at the minute aren't we?Nice warm image for the theme Bebop, lovely colours.

Fab shot Bee - can hear the crackling from here!
Many thank. I do love the log burner, though it took Mr. Bebop a long time to convince me it was better than an open fireNice shot Bebop, makes me feel warm and toasty just looking at it.
Thanks Peter. It certainly doesI agree first is best. Good idea for the theme.
Beats matches and paper.
Thanks Peter. This was just scrap material for the photo, but earlier in the week (don't laugh!), I used a bed sheet and a big zip to make a big bag that I can put my cats blankets in to wash them without covering the machine in hair..... they sell similar on Amazon, but they are quite small. After it all, the bag I'd made was still covered in hair on the outside! I think it did help though, as at least the next wash wasn't covered in cat hair. Long story, thanks for listening, ha ha!!A very good idea for the theme and a well taken phone shot that shows the process.
What have you constructed?
Thanks Kell. I do enjoy everything about it. If only it could talk!That’s great.
What a fantastic looking machine.
I think it definitely is bang on theme. The first says it more for some reason, but I love the light catching the relief on the second.
seams like itYep - that's another week sewn up
Thanks Simon. I was relieved to think of something as there's not much building work around here.Nicely thought up and shot Bee.
Yep - that's another week sewn up
seams like it
Thanks Nod. It is a very pretty little machine. Most of the things in my little office are for making things, now I think about it.FWIW, I prefer the second shot with the detail in the casting on the end cover - the light and rule don't detract from the idea of construction (to me!)
