The TP 52 - 2025 Boot's 52 for 2025

Another good abstract image I would never have guessed at paper.

Well done for a bit of experimenting in your recent posts. You have created a "homemade" pattern ( as has @wornish ) which is different from most of us who are finding existing patterns to capture. Hats off IMO!!

That certainly works, although I wouldn't have known without the explanation. Very vibrant. Top creativeness!

Interesting to understand how you did that

Love both of these, 'horizontal' in particular which I tink would make a good T-Shirt print

Week 11 - Animals

Lacking in both inspiration and time, a bit of a half-hearted effort this week.

Daddy Pol was given to my son about 16 years ago, when the stuffed animal was rather larger than he was. As you can imagine, it was very popular.

Great story and a very powerful picture, super in B+W. Looks particularly wise for a stuffed animal too!

Thanks Ross! He is, indeed, very wise - far wiser than me.

Week 12 - Broken

I think this may need a bit more than a quick respray.



I think this might have once been a Standard Vanguard Phase 2 (late fifties), but if anyone has another idea, I would be interested to hear.

 

[bullinachinashop]

No idea what it is but nature has almost reclaimed it! Great picture, very atmospheric!!

Mono suits the picture, someone’s pride and joy a few years ago

Quite a number of years ago I would venture to guess. Thanks Keith!

I've seen this sort of abandonment in the countryside in France, but not in the UK - though I guess there must be some, just not as common as in other places.
It works really well in B&W. The bright vs shadow is nice, especially the way you've waited until the shadow was fairly central on the front of the car.

Thanks Tim! This was a recent find for me. Just behind me when I took the picture is a dismantled Bedford CA van of a similar vintage, and about 500m away is a newer van (Peugot?). So it would seem there is a repeat offender in the area.

Great shot Paul. I really like that.

Week 13 - Texture

Voice off (shouted) - "Turn the texture up to 11!"



This sent my monitor into paroxysms of Moiré.

 

[Allan.H]

Good choice for the theme but it not doing wonders for my eyes

 

[bullinachinashop]

Yes very effective - I feel dizzy now!!

My profound apologies.

I keep coming back to this, bit of a conundrum in my head.

Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing? Thanks for commenting Alan!

Broken - nice mono. Duct tape and WD40 and it'll be reet

That Texture shot is cool, although it does do your eyes in!!

Lots of texture there, think I might have to lie down now though

Nice shot Paul - nice use of DoF

Nice broken one Paul and your texture shot is excellent.
