BobBCN 52 Challenge 2019 - Weeks 44-47
- Thread starter BobBCN
- Start date
Thanks Dave
Or maybe she is just hot and bothered, and yearning for a nice cold lager and lime!!
Thanks for the catch up Tim.
FRAGILE - She is actually very hard to please photo-wise. But this one was deemed acceptable!!
I think DECAY was a slight crop, but resized to 675x450 using Photoscape.
And it still is to this day!! Cheers Allan
Yes, I see your point wth the dof. It's a filter I applied (Photoscape)
Sardines!!
Yep....that's squashed!!
Great shot Bob, it is definitely on point, theme-wise!
I've been looking at the faces in the windows, and I couldn't help but notice the lady on the upper deck at the front....with her hand over her face!!
I wonder what's going on there! I like to imagine what the stories might be....personally, I think she's left the gas on, and her companion sitting to her right is texting the neighbours to ask if they'll go and turn it off!!
Great image with loads of interest!

Week 24 TIME
Where I went for the weekend. A small village near the Pyrenees called Josa del Cadí.
Certainly a place where you can forget all about time!!

Nicely done for whole - you wait for one to come along and then two come along at one. Nicely spotted
Fragile - really like this. You've created a superbly warm image that suits the lovely lady perfectly. Love is a beautiful thang
Squashed works perfectly too. I feel anyone's pain when they're on the tourist trail. My real pet hate
Time - nice image. That looks like a lovely place to spend time not thinking about time

It certainly was! Cheers Dave.
Thanks Ian. Comments appreciated.
Very tranquil. Just a bar and a cheese shop!
Cheers Gareth
It is in the middle of nowhere. I'll be there again for a week in August, so hopefully more photos will appear!
Thanks Dominic
Thanks Chris!
Yes, the car! Well spotted!
Thank you Tim.

What an amazing location, and very well taken image too!
It does indeed look like a wonderfully tranquil place to while away the hours!
Very nice work Bob!

Hi Bob,
Doing a bit of a round up of your latest shots after being a bit busy of late.
Whole - A good take on the theme and a pin sharp shot to boot.
Fragile - A beautiful portrait that really works for me. Excellent image and pp.
Squashed - Great colours and it certainly looks like the way to get about albeit a bit squashed as you say!
Time - What a lovely place and well shot in what looks like a strong contrast day. I feel the need to go on holiday now!

Currently 5 weeks adrift, so quickies to catch up.
Week 25: FULL (shelves of empties)

Week 25: FULL (shelves of empties)
A couple of great images there Bob!
Full: I like the concept, and the mono processing is very nice. They don't look empty though....unless you replaced all the bottle tops!
Drink: I love this image Bob! Great macro with fantastic colours and a real abstract, ethereal feel! Can't fault it - Wonderful!

The drink was taken from above, so the bubbles at the bottom are actually at the edges of the glass.
Thanks Dave
Thanks Lee!
All beers interest me!!
Yes, a growing collection, but only 125 so far!! Early days though!
WEEK 28 - WIDE (week 27 still in the teapot at the mo)
I have chosen an archive shot of the statue atop the church on Tibidabo mountain here in BCN.
Somebody told me that Tibidabo means 'all that I give you' but I am not sure. It certainly fits with the wide open arms, but it could be the locals changing language to suit their idea that Barcelona is actually the centre of the universe!!

WEEK 30 - FREE/COLOUR POP
Just a quick snap of my other half whilst on a day out. Great place by the way, a village called Peretallada, near Girona.

Two excellent images there Bob!
Wide: Terrific perspective here! Very nicely processed too. I like the 'slightly off symmetrical' composition as well, very interesting.
Free: Very nice full length portrait of the lovely Roser! Very nice natural expression and pose and the colour pop technique works well too.
Those worn stone features really are well placed and the light is nice and soft too. Excellent!

She's a belter, too!! Thanks Dave!

Two mobile phone pics to get myself up to date...…...
Week 27 - DIRTY
And of course 'net' is a Catalan word meaning 'clean' so maybe the people who can't read dump their crap next to the bins. Keeps the cockroaches happy, at least...

Week 29 - CLOSED
So if that particular shop is CLOSED and up for sale, the recession is much worse than we thought!!

Nice work Bob.
Dirty: Certainly a sorry sight, but fits the theme well! Interestingly the french word for clean is 'nettoyer'.
Closed: Not a very glamorous frontage considering it's former trade....but then I suppose that's the point! Nicely taken with crisp lines and some good shadows.
Life: Excellent image, and well processed for mono....as Rick says, thought provoking!

Point taken re the crop. Thanks Dominic
Thought provoking indeed. The situation is really getting out of hand here in BCN. There are people begging everywhere!
The Catalan language is very similar to French, but don't mention that to a Catalan!!
Thanks for the comments Gareth! Oh, and Roser was chuffed to bits!!

Hi Bob
Great shot for wide, good conversion to B&W.
Snappers choice, and it is a good choice, lucky fella. Like the detail in the background, composition is good, keep an eye out for edge of frame, slight movement would of put the drain cover in or out of the image.
Dirty, it fits the theme and its a big problem where ever you are.
Closed, had a chuckle at your comments. Fits the theme, not the most glamous place is it.
Life, It can be hard, sometimes depends on luck or lack of. Nice tones to the B&W conversion, I would have cropped out a bit at the left (the part doorstep) so the chap is looking into more of the image.
