Cptnm's 52 - Week 10 - Pattern

[cptnm]

Superb images.

Lovely images.

Those are excellent - very unusual and what a great subject. Love the backlighting - well done indeed on those!

I think that you made the right choice. I like the slightly more defined texture in the sky.

Both excellent IMO. You have the right positioning of the sun/moon? and this creates a great silhouette.

Thank you all - very lucky with the lighting, it actually paid off being a very cloudy day for once!

Nice framing and edit Meg. Need to find another silhouette for this week

Very nice but as has been said you are a week early

Thank you both, and I might have to go back to retake for this week

 

[SimonH]

Nice - would have been perfect for silhouette too.

Thank you, and it definitely would! Hopefully this week isn't "trees" or I might have to start making predictions

Beautiful image Megan, great choice.

 

[Shugpug]

That's really nice.

 

[Cloudforest]

Snapper's Choice. A great shot. I prefer the second one.

Silhouette: Nicely composed and works well for the theme.

 

[Boots]

Very nice!

 

[nog]

nice one, very imposing and a bit scary

 

[BobBCN]

Lovely shot there. Front cover of Wuthering Heights!!

Thank you! I'm still so torn between the 2 for snapper's choice, but that was a very cute robin

Beautiful image Megan, great choice.

That's really nice.

Thank you all - it's definitely somewhere between nice & a bit creepy

Week 7 - Through a Window


07 - Through the Window by M R, on Flickr

 

[Boots]

I really like that - simple, but edgy, and with a dynamic tension. Good work.

 

[nog]

Not my favourite building but like the picture, contrast between the hard building and the hazy countryside works well. Nice one

 

[-Oy-]

If you were looking through a window at that window - fab shot

Thank you both - definitely not the most photogenic building but I think it works well here

If you were looking through a window at that window - fab shot

Hmm, if you squint really hard (and maybe zoom in a lot) you could look through a window... otherwise it's more "of" a window

 

[AlanDorset]

I like that, as Boots says it’s simple but edgy.

 

[Darkslinger]

That is a lovely image. Simple and effective, so well composed.

Thank you both - as I say not the prettiest building in town but at least it's got an interesting window (although it's looking the wrong way for the view!)

Week 8 - Street Sign

Quite a boring picture, but not a boring sign and even taken through a car window this week
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - apparently a bit of a joke name designed to attract tourists to the little town!

[Darkslinger]

That ticks the box Megan. Does Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch actually mean anything?

 

[nog]

Bit different- nice one. Wonder how many online forms would cope with that

Imagine having to spell it over the phone too!

That ticks the box Megan. Does Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch actually mean anything?

Thank you! It's a weirdly descriptive name of the town (translated underneath, St Mary's Church by the white hazel pool... I won't type it all )

 

[-Oy-]

That's easy for you to say!

My old Welsh pals used to call is Llanfair PG

Nice one for the theme

 

[Boots]

Very good!

 

[Shugpug]

More than ticks the box and I had no idea it was a joke!

Week 9 - Horizontal

I see the beach was popular this week, really going to have to take a proper camera out more often for the themes! Sorry for the phone pic

[AlanDorset]

Whats the collective term for all those wind turbines?

 

[Simonbrown16]

Whats the collective term for all those wind turbines?

A blowy?

Nice picture Megan, the person walking adds a nice dimension to it.

 

[-Oy-]

Nowt wrong with a phone pic. One oif my recent iPhone shots got the FlickR Explore Award.

Nice minimalistic beach scene

Nice one, the person on the beach adds a lot to the picture

 

[Darkslinger]

This is a great shot Megan (phone notwithstanding). You've composed it well.

Thank you both - phone cams have definitely come a long way but always struggle with landscapes being crisp on them (that might be a me problem though!)

Nice one, the person on the beach adds a lot to the picture

Thank you & it's a synchronised couple rather than just one person, I don't think they could be more lined up if they tried!

Week 10 - Pattern
Charlie the dog helping out this week, although I could probably have used a woolly jumper for the same shot

[nog]

That’s different, camo pattern

 

[Boots]

Great. Really original take on the theme.

 

[Darkslinger]

I really like this one Megan.
