Cloudforest's 52 for 2022, Week 37- Looking Up

[StuartPearson]

New - A great ethereal quality to your image, my favourite of the ICM images so far

Old - Its amazing to think how well older buildings were constructed when they didn't have any of the technological benefits used nowadays.

Receptacle - The composition work well with the diagonal view, did you align the pencils for the text element before you took it or just lucky?

 

[LC2]

I too like the sharp focus of the text at the top in conjunction with the upper pencils.
I may have been tempted to play with focus stacking to bring the whole thing into sharp focus.

Week 4 Bottle

One of my pet hates when I'm out walking.

Thanks for all your comments Stuart.
I did line up the pencils.

Thanks Tim. I went for the narrow depth of field as I was too lazy to get the tripod and try a stack

 

[Chevin]

I like the sharp focus and contrast between the leaves, twigs and the bottle ... a nice image

Sadly it's an inditement of modern society ... a disposable plastic bottle & the remnants of the glass bottle next to it, add's further pathos

 

[rpn]

That's an excellent shot. Love the composition with the overhead viewpoint and the diagonal branch dividing the image in two.

 

[Bebop]

Bottle(s): Well spotted for the theme, but a sad sight. I like to think it was dropped from someone's backpack and they didn't notice, but you never know. We get whole bags of Kentucky Fried chicken near us. They drive 9 miles to dump it in the country

 

[Boots]

One of my pet hates too - it is incredible how much gets dumped beside any road. There must be hundreds of thousands of ignorant fools just chucking stuff out as they drive along.

A good piece of pictorial reportage.

 

[eoSimon]

Nice picture..it really conveys how litter looks so wrong in the natural environment.

 

[HelenC]

With you on the hate factor. How hard is it to take it home and put in a bin. I keep finding my head tilting.. perhaps it would be better the other way up

Thanks Bebop. Sadly this bit of woodland seems to have more than it's fair share of litter.

Thanks Helen. I know what you mean about tilting your head. I caught myself doing it looking at the pic.

 

[Darkslinger]

Funny you said that about your pets Pete, my two are the same but I stop so often that they've given up. Now they just sit there and give me the stink eye until I move on...

 

[seaodyssey]

I remember a story on a local news program years ago about a small shop owner in a small village used to write the names of the kids on bottles and sweet wrappers and there was hardly any litter about the place. It's a shame something similar could not be worked out for the whole country,

 

[SimonH]

Nice shot Shame it was there to be taken.....

Week 5 Snapper's Choice

A double rainbow taken very quickly before it disappeared.

I got very, very wet shortly afterwards.

[Darkslinger]

But did you find two pots of gold? Inquiring minds want to know...

Sadly no Bill.

I headed for the trees where I thought it ended but it disappeared before I got there!

 

[HelenC]

Well captured. Right place, right time!

 

[seaodyssey]

Ditto to what HelenC said.

Pete

 

[Cloudforest]

Well captured. Right place, right time!

Thanks Helen

Week 6: Alley(way)

TP52 Week 6 Alley by Peter C, on Flickr

 

[Boots]

Certainly ticks the theme

 

[SimonH]

A great and nicely shot alley!

 

[Peter123]

Fits the theme very well. Nice shot.
I assume this was at dusk?

 

[Cloudforest]

Thanks Paul

A great and nicely shot alley!

Cheers Simon

Fits the theme very well. Nice shot.

Thanks Peter. Yes, it was shot at dusk yesterday evening. Most of the shops had just closed so there were few people about.

 

[DB5]

Really nice shot, well done.

 

[seaodyssey]

Nice clean looking alley way. Interest added by the time of day and the lights.

 

[Darkslinger]

That's an alley I'd feel safe exploring. Nice shot Pete.

 

[FlyPhot]

Nice image, I like the lighting and plenty of interest through the image. Well spotted

 

[-Oy-]

Nice one. Hope theire a nice bar at that far end

 

[Simonbrown16]

Great picture! good lighting captured there

 

[HelenC]

Bang on theme. Nice starburst from the light so it doesn't distract.

 

[StuartPearson]

Has all the elements and you are taken through the image without any distractions, works well

 

[Cloudforest]

Really nice shot, well done.

Thanks Keith

That's an alley I'd feel safe exploring. Nice shot Pete.

Thanks Bill. It is one of the "safer" alleys around here!

Nice image, I like the lighting and plenty of interest through the image. Well spotted

Thanks Jim.

Nice one. Hope theire a nice bar at that far end

Sadly a flower shop at the far end Dave!

Great picture! good lighting captured there

Thanks Simon

Cheers Helen. That Voigtlander lens does give nice starbursts

Has all the elements and you are taken through the image without any distractions, works well

Thanks Stuart

Week 7 Heavy Rain

TP52 Week 7 Heavy by Peter C, on Flickr

 

[Darkslinger]

Looks like you need to start collecting pairs of animals Pete. Nice shot.

 

[Peter123]

well done to keep water off the lens.

 

[Chevin]

Nice image and fits the theme Pete, I like the patterns the water makes on the waxed bonnet*

*hood for our American cousins

 

[SimonH]

Nicely done with the wiper motion too.
