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

[Peter123]

I had to look twice to get the connection.
Great idea.

 

[Darkslinger]

Ha! My eyes aren't as good at Bebop's! Took me a bit of "Find Waldo" to spot him/her.

 

[SimonH]

Neat shot Pete….

 

[Cloudforest]

I spotted him straight away. Nicely framed by the trees in the foreground either side

Thanks Bebop. I was looking to get a cyclist shot but they were all riding away from me and then I spotted this one on the hillside.

Thanks Bill. Wasn’t sure if it would work if viewed on a small screen but I liked it enough to go with it.

Neat shot Pete….

Thanks Simon. Always appreciate your comments.

Quite a few parallels in this beautifully crafted 14th century stained glass window.

[SimonH]

Thats a solid bit of metal there Pete.

 

[woof woof]

Ha! Well thought of Pete. I like it

 

[Darkslinger]

Nice image Pete. What's a pillar box?

 

[Nod]

Nice image Pete. What's a pillar box?

A pillar box is a free standing post (mail) box here in the UK. Usually made of cast iron and painted red, although some get redecorated for special occasions (like a local person winning a gold medal at the Olympics.)

 

[Simonbrown16]

Bugger why didn't I think of that, there is one just around the corner from me! Great picture and I really like the shadows off to the side too.

 

[Peter123]

Good 2 in one there Pete.

They really are substantial aren’t they. Thanks for your comment Simon. Much appreciated as ever.

Ha! Well thought of Pete. I like it

Thanks Alan

Cheers Bill. Pillar boxes have been around some time and always had the insignia of the current monarch on them as in the EIIR.

Week 22 Treasure

I always treasure the sight of a wild orchid when they fleetingly flower.

Nice one Pete

 

[Cloudforest]

Nice one Pete

Thanks Dave. I happened to be out taking pics for my current project when the theme came through and then I stumbled across a few orchids. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to get an early one in!

 

[Darkslinger]

That's beautiful Pete.

 

[woof woof]

Very nice. It would have been even better if there'd been three or four in a row but the sharp flower and stems that are there do look lovely against the soft out of focus background. Well spotted and well done Pete!

 

[Fuji Dave]

Treasure is a lovely image as imo Orchids are a beautiful plant/flower.

 

[SimonH]

Very nicely spotted and captured Pete. Orchids are so photogenic.

Thanks Bill.

Thanks Alan. There were quite a few about but none flowering too close together sadly.

Thanks Dave. Orchids are always a joy to come across for me at this time of the year.

 

[Cloudforest]

Very nicely spotted and captured Pete. Orchids are so photogenic.

Thanks very much Simon. I came across some Bee Orchids later on but they are much smaller and I don’t have a macro lens any more.

 

[NickD]

Nicely done. I wouldn't have known what it was... I do now. Great light, and I love the use of DOF.

 

[HelenC]

The rule of three works for planting and photography. A lovely capture.

Week 23 Solid

Struggling for photography time this week but I think this will fit.

The tower at St Bartholomew's, Maltby dates back to the 11th century, so I reckon it was solidly built.

TP52 Week 23 Solid by Peter C, on Flickr

 

[Peter123]

It must be solid to last 1100 + years.
Well composed and processed.

 

[HelenC]

The perspective makes for an interesting shot with the various angles and apex.

Thanks Helen. The ground drops away from the church on that side and to avoid the trees you have to shoot with a quite wide angle.

 

[Darkslinger]

I agree with Helen, you've done a great job composing the image to make it more interesting. I think that I'd love to see the circular windows from the inside.

 

[Simonbrown16]

Good picture and as others have said it’s a good angle you picked there. Now it could be my tablet screen but the sky looks a little washed out. I might have tempted to try and tweak it a tad. However it doesn’t distract from a really well taken picture.

Thanks Bill. I've never been inside this church but will photograph the windows if I ever do go in.

Thanks Simon. I did try and enhance the sky but it looked a bit false so I took it back a bit.
