Darkslinger's 52 Week Challenge - 2020

[Cobra]

When I first saw it, I was trying to work out actually what it was.
Its obvious now of course. Nice use of Depth of field, Bill.

 

[Gritty]

Fab idea did you get it whilst unloading the dishwasher... I love it as a B&W image not sure colour would have worked so well.

 

[LC2]

I like the progression of the oof, but I'm struggling to see that the front holes are actually in focus.
Was that deliberate?

 

[CliveH]

Cheese grater is very clever, if you had not said I would not have guessed.

 

[Cloudforest]

Nice and abstract. Think it works well in mono.

 

[Nostromo]

I'm liking the idea and the lighting. I would like a bit more dof though.

 

[brrnd]

+1 for more DoF, but that's just me (and Dominic).

Great idea and great execution! I like the lighting and the B&W conversion!

 

[GarethB]

Clever and abstract, which makes it a winning image for me!
Nice work Bill!

 

[Minx]

As others have said very abstract, clever idea

 

[Manxmaid]

Excellent idea, Bill, with an abstract result. I did something similar for a 52 theme a few years ago and it's great fun to get close-up with these tiny details. I think I would have liked a bit more DOF but the idea and the processing are spot on

 

[Darkslinger]

Cup backlit by cab...black & white processed in Lightroom and Nik Silver Efex Pro2...

 

[CliveH]

Nice moody pic, works great in B&W, nice detail in the foreground

 

[Fuji Dave]

Nice dark and moody shot.

 

[wibbly]

Great atmosphere, conversion to B&W works well.

 

[FlyPhot]

Like the Discarded image, great textures and lighting and well composed, it really suits the mono pp.

 

[HelenC]

High contrast b&w, what's not to like in my book. Very atmospheric.

 

[mdpF2]

Great b&w picture, plenty of contrast and good lighting

 

[rpn]

Very moody and I like the low light with the long shadow. Mono treatment suits the theme well.

 

[Cobra]

Very moody, and the processing suits the idea that it has been discarded

 

[brrnd]

Great processing, brings out the textures! And great light and setup!

 

[LC2]

Edgy!

 

[Shugpug]

I really like this shot - captures the theme beautifully, and the lighting and processing really suit the subject.

 

[weebleswobble]

Great shot and processing, with good contrast but keeping the detail and being able to see inside the cup

 

[GarethB]

That's a super image Bill!
There's some terrific texture definition in the road surface owing to the angle of the light...nicely done!
The b&w treatment is spot on.

 

[Robw_uk]

Nice lighting on the cup... If you had the time would love to see a tighter shot, think some of the textures and shades would be really abstract

 

[Phil S]

Good one - I like the high contrast back lighting.

 

[DowntonMini]

Works for me great lighting and processing, nicely seen or set up.

 

[Cloudforest]

I like this. The processing really gives the image an edge.

 

[Gritty]

Love the moody feel to this shot, thank god for cabs ;-)

 

[Nostromo]

You've got a good gritty look there. A simple solitary cup, but describes the theme well.

 

[Darkslinger]

Snapper's choice - Abbotsford/Mission bridge, Mission, BC, Canada - long exposure

 

[Fuji Dave]

Lovely LE shot Bill, looks so peaceful and very scenic in the BG.

 

[Bebop]

Lovely tranquil shot.

 

[Cobra]

As others have said very tranquil Bill!

 

[LC2]

I really like that.
Just the right amount of smoothing on the water. The juxtaposition of the natural and man-made world. The lead in from the top corner and even some drama in the sky. Excellent

 

[Minx]

Discarded - as other have said well lit and the lprocessing suits it,
Snappers choice - I agree i does look very tranquil.

 

[rpn]

I like that, Bill. Almost milky smooth water with plenty of reflection. Nice textured sky too.

 

[CliveH]

Nice long exposure and love the background mountains.

 

[rick448]

Snappers choice is a great image, lovely use of long exposure and the composition is spot on

 

[brrnd]

Nice scenic shot, I like the mountains in the background!
