Week 0: Old

Inspired by the amount of shoehorning done by everyone, I tried a bit of my own. When I think about something old, I think about...

Good bit of shoe horning there and no zoo animals harmed in the process

Indeed, no boat owner's feeling harmed in the process too :LOL:

DowntonMini · 21 Jan 2016

Good start and a lot of shoehorning going on there but it made me laugh

Leebert · 27 Jan 2016

Hi Nora,

Great start to your 52. Perfect fit to the theme and a very good bit of thinking outside the box

Week 1: METAL

Metal by Nora P., on Flickr

Trying to catch up before the challenge is over. It's so good to be back :banana:

DowntonMini · 10 Oct 2016

Welcome back Nora! :wave:

I like your take on metal good use of DoF my only slight crit is that the high lights on the main rail are a little distracting.

Looking forward to seeing more as you get chance to catch up

brrnd · 10 Oct 2016

Only 40 more to go

Great DoF and the reflections in the metal work well.

Welcome back Nora

You may have your work cut out, nonetheless, good luck

d00d · 10 Oct 2016

Great catch-up Nora.

BTW I really like your Old shoehorn job, I seem to have missed it back in January.

susiejb · 10 Oct 2016

Hi there, I've no idea how, but I missed your first one too .....anyway, it was a great choice for the theme.

Welcome back, you have a big job on trying to catch up but good luck. That's an interesting take on Metal, it looks good.

sirch · 10 Oct 2016

Catching up is no problem, pick your favorite subject, take 40 photos and then shoe-horn all the way I like the faint reflections/shadows of people in the metal

LC2 · 10 Oct 2016

Welcome back!
Good choice for the theme.
The reflections of the light are always going to be a challenge in a shot like this, so I don't mind the blown highlights.
What's with the watermark?

michael23 · 10 Oct 2016

On theme, though I wonder how it would look with a wider perspective, seeing more of the object to the right of the frame.

Yeah, I thought so too, Mark.. Would be nice to do a reshoot one of these days..

Would love to fit in as much as I can before the year is out...

Exactly what I would do, Chris

Thanks, Tim. Was practicing for putting in an invisible watermark, but then I guess I did a horrible job there

That's a good advice, Michael. Thank you for dropping by :woot:

Week 2: CAPTIVE

An old picture from one of my travels..

Captive by Nora P., on Flickr

Cobra · 11 Oct 2016

Is that a kinkajou Nora?

LC2 · 11 Oct 2016

I like the way you've used DoF to blur the bars of the cage in the foreground yet kept them there enough to highlight that they are there.
Focus looks like it's on the eye.

Carl Ayling · 14 Oct 2016

Hey! Welcome back Nora ... good to see you keeping in with the TP52 challenge. Nice detail in Metal - brushed aluminium I think. Captive looks so cute all snuggled in like a ball. Lovely

susiejb · 14 Oct 2016

Yes, a very snuggly captive there Nora, perfect for the theme.

Dark Knight · 15 Oct 2016

Welcome back Nora

Blush · 22 Oct 2016

Cobra said:

I honestly don't know, Mr. Hissy, Sir. It was a small private animal reservation and they didn't have any marker for the animal names. Been asking around but nobody knows what kind of animal she/he is

OK fairy nuff

I'm not sure either TBH That's why I hoped you may know, it looks like one, in some respects, but also looks a little Lemur-ish too.
