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

[SimonH]

That fits the bill nicely….

 

[Cloudforest]

Is that a printhead moving across? Perfect for the theme and I like the redness of it all.

Window shot also works well for the theme. I like the contrast of the warm stone against the colder tones of the church through it.

Yes that’s the printhead. I was running out of time and had to look around to find something suitable and a bit different for the theme.
I had the window shot in mind from the beginning and just needed to get out and see if it would work.

 

[Cloudforest]

That works well - and I like the addition of the bluetooth or wireless light top right

Thanks Dave.

That fits the bill nicely….

Cheers Simon.

Week 12 Discarded

Discarded remnants of a colliery coal washing plant.

[-Oy-]

I bet that's heavy and took some discarding!

BEAM me up Scotty!

 

[Peter123]

I like this Pete.
The unkempt environment adds to the discarded object.

 

[FlyPhot]

Definitely discarded, could also fit a 'nature reclaiming industry' theme Nice fog too, which makes the eye focus on the subject

 

[HelenC]

Technology: great idea - it makes a really good image.
Discarded: definitely fits the bit and nicely atmospheric.

Thanks Dave. I used a bit of a shoe horn this week but they did leave that chunk of concrete behind when they cleared the rest of the site

Thanks Helen. Much appreciated as always.

Nice misty shot Pete. Was it the remains of the building that was on site or was it moved from another site?

Thanks Bill. I'm not entirely sure but I think that the concrete slabs (there are a number of others around) are all that remains of a now cleared site.

Week 13 Flora

The peatland landscape of Hatfield Moors showing heathers in the foreground and background and cotton grass/rushes in the water.

[Peter123]

Nice landscape flora Pete.

Meets the challenge well.

Nice peat Pete

 

[wornish]

Different take.

 

[Chevin]

Nice take on the theme ... loads of flora ... even built on it

 

[SimonH]

Catching up - I like your discarded shot, very atmospheric, and your flora shot is lovely - looks really remote.

 

[Darkslinger]

Interesting landscape Pete. Do the colours change as the seasons progress or does it remain same shades of brown and beige?

 

[HelenC]

The water looks very peaty. I'm wondering how it would look in mono?

Thanks David. I like to show plants in their landscape if I can.

Thanks Bill. The heathers will bloom later (mainly purple) and the cotton grass will flower wispy and white. I want to revisit when the heathers flower and shoehorn the pic into another week’s theme!

The water looks very peaty. I'm wondering how it would look in mono?

Thanks Helen. I’ve not tried it yet in mono although l might look at a whole series of mono pics from the site for the zine challenge this year.

 

[Bebop]

I wouldn't want to get my wellies stuck in that. I like the contrasting colours with the sky reflecting blue in the water against the yellow/green of the grasses.

Thanks Bebop. I didn't get too close to the water as I imagine it's easy to get bogged down.

Week 14 Unusual

An unusual seat in the woods

TP52 Week 14 Unusual by Peter C, on Flickr

 

[SimonH]

It's an unusual seat and completely out of character for where it looks like it is. Theme nailed.

 

[LC2]

It looks like the kind of seat you might find in a 70's railway station, or a shopping centre from the same period.

As you say, very unusual in that setting !

 

[HelenC]

Unusual and definitely out of place. I wonder how it got there??

 

[Darkslinger]

I'm with Helen. Wondering how it got there. Was it commissioned as an artistic expression or was it dropped off by someone who didn't want it in their backyard?

I'm with Helen. Wondering how it got there. Was it commissioned as an artistic expression or was it dropped off by someone who didn't want it in their backyard?

Thanks both. The wood is on the site of a former colliery washing plant and there are 2 similar seats in different parts of the wood. They must have taken some getting into place.
I have to admit that I'm trying to squeeze as many weekly themes as I can out of this wood!

 

[NickD]

I love the incongruity. The colour, the shape, the texture, everything about it is wrong in that location. Well spotted!

[Bebop]

Certainly is unusual. Look like it might have dropped out of a passing aircraft

Really quite bizarre to see it next to a few silver birch trees. Well spotted and captured.

Thanks Bebop. I really like the idea that it’s come from a passing aircraft. I’ll think of that now whenever I see it.

 

[Peter123]

Certainly unusual and incongruous.
To me it looks like a boat left behind when the flood waters receded.

Week 15 Snapper's Choice

The diffused early morning light made for some lovely spring colours and decent reflections.

[Peter123]

Good mix of tree, cloud and reed (?) reflections there Pete.
Have you tried different colour profiles in LR?

 

[Simonbrown16]

Nice picture, one for the technique perhaps?

 

[SimonH]

Nice shot Pete. Lovely cloud reflections that are more evident than in the sky itself.

 

[Darkslinger]

That's a nice calm shot Pete.
