weekly Bernd's 52 in 2018 - week 21/22: hard/creatures

[Mr-Incy]

Your over image is similar to something I had in mind .... I was thinking of taking a picture of a cricket green, almost every village around me has one ....

 

[IanD]

Very lateral thinking there Bernd

Thank you! Great minds and all that... unfortunately cricket is rather a summer sport...

Very lateral thinking there Bernd

Thanks Ian!

Week 3 - Stark - The best camera is the one you have with you and the mobile is today's box brownie. It still takes imagination and thought to get a good shot though and
that you have done.

Week 4 - Over - Lateral ? Is there any other way to think? Nice long exposure, good job the tree branches did not move too much.

I’m using a rota to make sure I spread my comments round. Will be doing around 1 in 7 each week. You hit lucky again

 

[Hertsman]

Very clever move for Over B, I did think of the cricket aspect but didnt find a connection, well done.

Hi Bernd
nice to see you have your 4 weeks in already, well done to you on all of them, I particularly like the stark shot, nice and crisp with well defined contrast and the tower block looks great against the gloomy sky.

love your take on the over theme as well, bet we don't see many "lateral" takes on that theme.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Over at the Oval, good shot Bernd good choice for mono too, good use of the slow ss to blur the traffic.

 

[Tilz]

Clever take on the theme and I like the crop. I might have cropped the top a bit less to leave the tops on the trees but that's just me

 

[Allan.H]

Good bit of thinking, good point above about the top of the trees cricket never even crossed my mind

 

[seaodyssey]

Hi Bernd

Was that theme for the English team over in Ausland and the ashes.

Nice contrast in the image, did you take the image through glass as I can see reflections of cars.

Thank you! I agree, I should have cropped a tiny bit less and kept the tops of the trees in the frame.

Thank you Pete! I'm half Australian by marriage, so I'm happy whoever wins... The photo was taken with a very slow shutter speed, hence the ghost cars.

Cricket was one of my first thoughts, but I put it aside due to the season not starting for ages.
Thus, cleverly done thinking of a way to do it
I have to say, I wouldn't have considered doing a B&W, as crticket always makes me think of colours, but I do think it works.

I may have gone for image merge/averaging rather a slow shutter to remove the cars, but only because I want an excuse to try it

 

[G.K.Jnr.]

Over shot works for me Sir, your lateral thinking has really worked well.

George.

 

[d00d]

Groanworthy lateral thinking ... but nice shot.

 

[Minx]

Stark - the tower block works well and the dark figures in the foreground add to it
Over - lateral thinking or shoehorn either way good shot I quite like the ghost cars from the reflection

 

[DowntonMini]

Brilliantly thought out idea love the B&W conversion

 

[LancsLee]

Like the shot of the Oval, the sky in particular is very nice.

 

[Hadron]

Liking the lateral thinking, very clever. It suits the B&W conversion and I agree the sky is a stand out feature

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

Over - as most of the others have said a very clever take on the theme, and a good nice long exposure.

[Dark Knight]

Hahaaa what a great idea for the theme Bernd Liking the letterbox crop and the ghostly cars and clouds, it has a real eerie feel to the processing that I like

 

[Manxmaid]

That tall building against the sky is definitely stark, both in terms of modern(ish) city architecture and also contrast, and I do like the added foreground details of the dark figures and especially the reflections on the wet pavement. It ticks lots of boxes for me and works very well.
I'm not sure - as someone else has said - whether it's lateral thinking or a shoehorn but Over/Oval is a fine image The crop and B&W conversion are perfect and I like the slightly eerie sky and hint of vehicles.

week 5: age

I was fairly busy over the last few days, so I'm lagging a bit behind with commenting...

But I happen to have shot a photo today (for another themed challenge) that fits this week's brief. And as @Cobra has been very early with posting the theme, I didn't even jump the gun!

week 6: sharp

[ross.anderson.58]

Question. Is week 5 ...... Cheese?

Week 6

Like it. Nice in b+w and it does look sharp.

Your Sharp shot is bang on theme Sir, well composed, and works really well with the mono presentation.

George

 

[Daniel_Paul]

Great shots for the last two weeks Bernd, love the contrast in the Sharp image!

 

[Allan.H]

Nice shot for sharp caught the edge of the blade perfectly

 

[d00d]

... really makes it ... the light on the sharp edge.

 

[d00d]

Age ..... artificial mould? They make it in 5 minutes these days.

 

[LancsLee]

Great shot for sharp, it has a slightly threatening edge to it.

 

[sirch]

Quick off the mark with sharp, on my monitor it could perhaps do with just a little more light on the side of blade because I couldn't quite work out what I was looking at at first but the highlight on the knife edge is perfect and I like the menace provided by the hand, it is ideal for the theme

 

[Baloo]

Great shot for Sharp, like the menace as Chris pointed out.

 

[Fuji Dave]

As has been said, a great image for sharp that goes well in mono.

 

[thirsty_camel]

Bernd great shot for sharp, love the processing and compo

 

[IanD]

Nice sharp image Bernd - agree with @sirch in that it needs maybe a bit more light, but cracking image, and great to already have it as soon as the theme came up

Age - what is it?

 

[brrnd]

Week 6

Like it. Nice in b+w and it does look sharp.

Thank you Ross! Yes, week 5 is a well aged and smelly roquefort.

Thanks David! It's mouldy cheese...

Thank you Chris! I had difficulties to get the right amount of light on the side of the blade using a flash, so I'll say it's a deliberate choice

Great shot for Sharp, like the menace as Chris pointed out.

Thanks Roger!

Bernd great shot for sharp, love the processing and compo

Thank you Ian! Age is cheese
