Darkslinger's 52 Week Challenge - 2020

[Darkslinger]

I like your doggy pic! Especially the way the dog in the background is mirroring the head angle. Nice depth of field... and if anyone else has already said that..... :banghead:

Thanks Bebop!

 

[Darkslinger]

Great composition with the repeated head angles. Not sure if its "more walkies" or "not again.. " these days

"Treats!" always "Treats!", they never get tired of that...

 

[Darkslinger]

Great doggy shot, loving the turn of the head.

Thanks Arnie!

 

[Darkslinger]

Very nice dog portrait, love the look in the eyes.

Thanks Clive!

 

[Nostromo]

You can't beat a doggy pic.

 

[Cloudforest]

A lovely portrait of those two. I like the way they're holding their heads and looking at you.

 

[vanishedbob]

Well captured and gorgeous subjects.

 

[brrnd]

Great capture, very sharp for the dog in the foreground and enough detail that you can see that the dog in the background mirrors exactly his position!

Thanks Dominic, it's never a bad thing to post a cute picture of a dog...

Thanks Pete!

Well captured and gorgeous subjects.

Thanks David, they are definitely our "babies"!

Great capture, very sharp for the dog in the foreground and enough detail that you can see that the dog in the background mirrors exactly his position!

Thanks Bernd, it was more luck than anything else. The camera I was using has no viewfinder, only an LCD screen so I had to rely on the camera's ability to grab my dog Cooper in the front. I was lucky that the capture of Gracie in the back came out as well as it did.

What's left when an Icelandic Poppy is DONE. I always have trouble growing them but these ones seem to have taken to the garden well.

 

[LC2]

Interesting colouring there, restricting the gamut.
Works nicely.
I wouldn't have known what the flower was (that said, I can probably recognise a rose or daisy )

 

[Cobra]

Nice close up Bill, lots of detail and interesting processing too.

 

[Shugpug]

Lovely colouring on that poppy head.

 

[Cloudforest]

I love the processing and the detail Bill.

 

[Nostromo]

Good bit of processing. I like the looks of that.

 

[DowntonMini]

Intersting processing I like it live the detail.

 

[HelenC]

Great DoF which gives a sense of movement.
Have tried growing those from seed - they never showed up

 

[CliveH]

Nice detail and interesting processing of your poppy.

Thanks Tim, I thought that I'd try something a little different than a traditional black and white.

 

[Darkslinger]

Nice close up Bill, lots of detail and interesting processing too.

Thanks Flissy.

 

[Darkslinger]

Thank you Shugpug

Thanks Helen, I have to say that I cheated and bought the mature plant. I haven't had any luck growing them from seed either...

 

[Darkslinger]

Nice detail and interesting processing of your poppy.

Thanks Clive, this is the colour version of the same image:

 

[Darkslinger]

Back the to Icelandic poppies...rather than "done" these ones have yet to bloom. I've been playing with focus stacking. This is a blending of 8 images. I'm surprised that it turned out given that that day was rather windy.

 

[Shugpug]

Turned out well as well. Nice shot, and interesting to see the other state of these plants life. Good combination of chaos and order.

 

[DowntonMini]

Nice use of DoF lovely detail in the buds of the flowers.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Turned out good imo, a nice shot as I love trying too when there is a breeze.

 

[LC2]

That's worked really well. The fall off into blur is very well controlled.

 

[CliveH]

That has worked well lots of nice detail.

 

[Allan.H]

I love the tones in the Icelandic poppies photo and you have isolated the subjects perfectly

 

[seaodyssey]

Interesting processing on your Poppy, works very well, and to be honest is better than the colour version.
I like the younger version as well.

Pete

 

[HelenC]

Great detail and texture. Nice one.

 

[Nostromo]

I like the shapes the the heads create. They sort of look sad, with their drooping heads.

 

[Darkslinger]

Turned out well as well. Nice shot, and interesting to see the other state of these plants life. Good combination of chaos and order.

Thanks Shugpug, I've had a pink blossom, a salmon coloured blossom and now there's a lemon yellow blossom:
