The TP52 - 2026 Darkslinger's 52 for 26

[Barney]

Thanks for sharing your thought process Bill.

It certainly comes through in those excellent images, all of which are appealing in different ways !

 

[Darkslinger]

Good set Bill, flowers for me, tulips?

BTW no link from your pic to here

Thanks Keith, I appreciate the heads up!

I like your chosen image, it has mood, and the composition with the leading lines and the symmetry works really well. I really like the tulip shot too though, with the 3 distinct layers of colour.

Thanks Nick, I took a few shots of the tulips using a similar technique but I liked this one the best.

Lots of excellent shots there: particularly like the flora and fauna in your snappers set and nice macro work with morning rituals.

Thanks Simon

Good set of images you've got there.

Thank you Dominic

Thanks Wayne, sometimes I feel Iike I have to add some context.

Week 18 Curves

My wife and I went to a car show that a friend invited us to. Not something that I usually do as I am not really a "car guy" but I thought that there would be a few opportunities to grab some closeup curves...and then some...

 

[wornish]

Some good curves in these.

 

[Barney]

Superb Vison Bill

 

[-Oy-]

Fab set Bill

 

[Boots]

Some great curves!

 

[nog]

Good set there Bill, they certainly liked the curves when designing those older cars

 

[AlanDorset]

You’ll struggle to avoid curves around a car

 

[Kell]

Ideal place to go grab some curves.

I do like your chosen image but I'm aslo drawn to the steering wheel.

 

[NickD]

Any of those would work well. I really like your chosen shot, and the the mono immediately beneath it of the car back really appeals to me too.

 

[SimonH]

Top set as always Bill. Any of those ticks the box nicely.

 

[Darkslinger]

Some good curves in these.

Thanks David!

Superb Vison Bill

Appreciate Wayne!

Fab set Bill

Thanks Dave.

Some great curves!

Can always count on old cars to give me curves...

Good set there Bill, they certainly liked the curves when designing those older cars

That's for sure!

Too true...

Yeah, I liked how that one turned out as well.

Week 19 Colour Contrast

So I thought that I could go a number of different ways with this...hot vs. cold colours, dull vs. shiny colours, one shade of a colour contrasted with a different shade of the same colour, so...

Shiny vs. dull


bright vs. dark


One shade vs. another


Hot vs. cool


And just a hodge podge of colour

 

[Norkie]

Great set

 

[Boots]

Yes, another great set!

 

[SimonH]

Top set Bill and love your chosen one the best

 

[JayceeC]

Love the umbrella shot

 

[nog]

Good set and definitely picked the right shot, love it

 

[-Oy-]

Yep - brolleys it is!!!

 

[NickD]

Your chosen shot by a mile for me. Great colours and I love the corresponding shadows on the ground.

 

[Nostromo]

Love the umbrellas, it's definitely colourful.

 

[philthejuggler]

I particularly like the umbrella shot too - especially how the ground is rather muted in colour and then the explosion of vibrant tones in the sky!

 

[Darkslinger]

Great set

Thanks Jak!

Yes, another great set!

Thank you Paul!

Top set Bill and love your chosen one the best

Thanks Simon, I like how that one turned out.

LOL, thanks Dave!

Your chosen shot by a mile for me. Great colours and I love the corresponding shadows on the ground.

Thanks Nick, yeah, it's not often you can find a place that looks good in the middle of a hot cloudless day.

Love the umbrellas, it's definitely colourful.

Thanks Dominic!

Lovely images Bill

The peeling decal with the textured surface does it for me, nice shadows there too.

Week 20 Geometry

Spent the weekend in Calgary, Alberta. We had all four seasons of weather in the four days that we were there, from hot summer to snow with clouds and rain in-between.

Lots to shoot as well.

Nice set of shapes Bill

 

[NickD]

They all work, but your chosen shot is the strongest. That's a great building, and the perspective and processing really add to it.

 

[AlanDorset]

I do like architecture, there’s some great pictures here. All good !

 

[SimonH]

Another cracking set Bill. Quite superb

 

[nog]

Great set again Bill, you in the B&W mood this week?

 

[Allan.H]

Another well thought out set of images, always difficult to choose one.
