Clives 52 in 2020

[CliveH]

Not a day to be down on the beach itself IMO.

I did venture on to the beach but not too close to the sea!

All superb shots. I'd say number 2 is my pick.

Thanks Bob

#1 for me too Clive, a very nicely timed shot to get the wave rolling in like that.

Thanks Dave, timing...i took 45 pictures so hard to get the waves in the right place!

 

[GarethB]

That's a great set of images Clive!
Each one has some terrific dynamic qualities...those waves are superb!
Your posted image is the pick of the bunch for me, though all are excellent!
That's one helluva wave!!

 

[CliveH]

Thanks Gareth, they were quite high waves, on the other side of the pier they were upto about 10-12 feet as they hit the beach.

 

[Minx]

3 Great shots, if I had to choose i favorite it would be the first with the tall wave.

Shot of beach pleasure walkers is also one of my few ideas. Of the three images, I prefer #2. I can just feel the cold blustery sea wind and the smell of the seawater.

Love both 1 and 2. Well captured! The waves look awesome.

Thanks Stan, it was quite spectacular today especially as it was so nice.

Thanks Joan, and a lovely day too.

Thank you Rick, l enjoyed taking them.

 

[Shugpug]

Hugely evocative! Very nicely captured - I can feel the wind in my face from here!

 

[DowntonMini]

Great set of images for Pleasure Clive, great colours and details love the fact you've caught the breaking waves.

 

[HelenC]

Amazing waves.. agree #1 has the "power" factor that makes rough seas so much fun

Thanks Mark, that was my favourite of about 45 taken.

Thank you Helen, much nicer to look at than a calm one.

Really like your images Clive. The second seascape is my personal preference [emoji106]

[Nostromo]

It's looking a bit rough. Nicely shot.

[Baloo]

Good composition with the eye drawn to the movement in the waves which pretty much follow the Rule of Thirds.
For me the waves provide the interest in the shot not only because of the movement but they dominate the scene making me look at their relationship to the beach and town.
The focus retains interest in the shot with some good detailing in the beach foreground.
Smack on theme, who could not enjoy being there?
The exposure copes well with the dark foreboding sea to detail retained in the sky and nice crisp whites.

Thank you sir for those few kind words

 

[Manxmaid]

Excellent images, Clive, with a real sense of the power of the wind and waves. I love these conditions too and you have captured them really well - great choice for the theme.

Thank you Andrea it was a lovely day.

Week 3 Tool

A selection of pictures of my old CeKa 3941 cutters. I bought these when I was working for Plessey Radar in the late 70s.
Still in fairly good condition considering their age. (Better than me!).

 

[Fuji Dave]

It`s a good shots for the theme, as I`m not really into this sort of layout I do like the bottom left shot.

Thanks Dave, I couldn't get the shot I wanted and settled on a collage as a compromise.

 

[LC2]

I quite like the collage Clive, don't listen to old miseryguts
Bang on these and a good compilation of shots.

[Minx]

An interesting compilation I like the layout and its nice to see a bit of colour I like the blue

Terrific image(s) Clive!
Great minds eh?!

So...are CK the same company as Ceka?
Yours certainly have some miles on them, but I'm sure they'll last for many years to come...they are quality!

I like the collage presentation - there's some really nice, sharp details and the blue background compliments perfectly.

Hi Gareth, I believe the CeKa brand was the German brand as opposed to the American branding....but not totally sure. But damn good tools at the time i got these the competition to them were Lindstrom which were also damn good.

 

[Shugpug]

I really like the collage - the layout and all around view(s) work really well. The bright blue doesn't quite do it for me I'm afraid, but then again it's a nice contrast against the elderly (but excellent) tool.

 

[Baloo]

Clever shot well executed.

 

[CliveH]

Thanks Shugpug, I struggled to get a nice background, that is a box that my business cards came in with the tool on top of the base of the box and the lid on its side behind it. I would have preferred something less colourfu or maybe one of the big old printed circuit boards full of çomponents that the cutters got used on.

 

[CliveH]

Clever shot well executed.

Thanks Roger.

 

[Tilz]

A nice selection of shots from different angles

 

[rick448]

Bottom left shot for me too. Maybe they would work well in mono too?

Thanks Rick I did try a couple in mono but the tool was a bit lost, probably needed to up the contrast.

Hi Clive,

I like the collage, different presentation which works well, colour works well overall. Not sure about the bottom centre one, difficult to work out what is the other gray shape is.

Thank you Pete, the black bit is a leather tool wallet, and as you spotted I didn't position it quite right.
