Thanks everyone. I tried to do a reshoot so I could straighten the verticals in PS, but there were some protesters who got in the way. So I just left it. Lesson learnt.
Week 20 Leave.
I couldn't get anything into my head for this. So I just went down to Glengall Street bus station and waiting for someone with a suitcase to walk out the door.
Did a bit of adjusting in PS as the colour image was unappealing.
Well done for seeking out the opportunity, the signs really help with the theme - processing works for me, it helps deal with the 'washed-out' doorway.
Authority - Great building that, all crit fully mentions so from me a is to say I like the angle personally, I think it helps add to it's towering stance, the sign is nicely placed in the frame too
Leave - I would crop out the part sign on the right, other than that I think it's a super shot, really like the composition, and the PP works real well - great one
Leave - simple effective idea for the theme. The pp has contributed to the simplicity.
Thr handrail leads the eye through the pic
I agree with DK that a crop of the left hand sign would be good and for good measure i might consider balancing that by removing the fire extinguisher too.
Good work Robert, bang on theme.
I agree about the suggested crop just to tidy things up a wee bit.
I like the leading line of the handrail, draws the viewers eye in and through towards the exit. I think images with shiny metallic objects (the handrail) suit this type of processing or full B&W, so good choice there. Iain
Authority is great, and bang on theme, but I'd have liked a little straightening and maybe even perspective correction if possible? That said, I tried it and you end up cropping too much of the building, so unless it's already cropped you'd have struggled. Great shot though.
Leave is perfection; can't find a thing wrong with it!!!
I was stumped again. Last night I took a trip to Scrabo Tower and got a couple of sunset photo's. I don't use two very often, but I don't know what to use. The random, is random clouds. Weak subject result again, but I didn't know what to do.
I can't decide which of those I like best; no 1 is great because of the hint of detail left in the silhouette, but number 2 has the nicer sky! On the basis that you didnt make the sky, but did correctly expose the tower, I'll vote for number 1!
Authority - good subject, shame about the skies but sometimes we do not have a choice and have to go with whats in front of us. Nice building and like the angle.
Leave - really good capture, the colour conversion has worked well for me. Says leave nicely.
Random - lovely skies there. Looks to be a nice place for togging.
Oohh... tough one... I'm gonna go with the tower too I think... although the clouds are nicer in the second.. and that random plane probably tips the balance in terms of the theme. I just prefer the tower.
Thanks everyone, greatly appreciate the fooedback.
Thanks Mandy.
Week 22 Temperature.
It was either heat haze or a melting ice cube. Heat haze was more of a challenge and it was going to be a bigger challenge than I thought. I rode up to Newtownards on my Lambretta and stopped on the hill of the carriageway to get a heat haze photograph. I got a few before heading home. I hade to ride into Newtownards and round the roundabout to come back to Belfast, but the Lambretta died on the roundabout.
I had to push it home. Started pushing at 1.50pm and got home 5.15pm. 9 miles and beetroot! The digital speedo on my Lambretta has an ambient temperature reading and it was 41c at one stage.
Turned out to be a dead stator plate. I'll be renewing my RAC tomorrow!
I though about heat haze as well but had no real idea how to shot it....you've done a great job
Random....2 great images , love the lighting & colors in the 1st & great lead in line with the path
Liking the tones in #2 & the inclusion of the plane adds to it.....I'd maybe consider cropping some from the left just to take the plane slightly off centre ?
Hi, Robert, I had a similar idea but suspect yours is better than I could have done. The edit is richer and overall haze works really well. Nice inclusion of the car.
Heat haze - well done! Was one of my ideas for this theme but I discounted it on the basis of being too difficult. Plus there is never one around when you want one. Agree that the edit works well.
I'm another who had thought of haze for that brief second before dismissing it. Well done for capturing it. I guess it couldn't have been a better week. I think Summer might have a good idea with a cropped version.
By the sounds of it many of us thought but didn't do it, really like the composition of the shot, great that you caught a singular car coming over the brow, nice shot !!!
Hi Robert, sorry just catching up with everyone today.
Leave, very simple idea, nice composition and I think the editing suits it well
Random, number two for me, the random clouds and beautiful sunset are lovely. The random aircraft helps too
Temperature, I had the idea for heat haze too I went out looking but couldn't find any probably because it was blowing a gale that week:bonk: I think your effort is superb, the haze has worked so well the car is reflecting on the road
Leave - I like what you've done here and wouldn't change a thing.
Random - For me, it's got to be #1, the tower. I love the sky and the fact that it's not just a silhouette; you can still make out plenty of detail. Very nice!!
