[FlyPhot]

I like the perspective and your electric blue idea integrated into this shot give a great imGE.

Thanks Peter, much appreciated

 

[Bebop]

I like the colour pop, and the blue is nicely framed.

Your processing works well, Not sure about what that equipment is, 3 large wires entering with only 1 small wire out the bottom.

Thanks Pete. I'm not sure what the stuff is either, it's in a sub-station not far from where I live. The blue part is actually a lot deeper than it is wide and has some real heavy duty wires coming out of the other side, as far as I remember. I do know that I wouldn't want to get too close to it to have a good look

Very clever with the blue pop. Now can't stop humming!

That‘s one terrific dog portrait Jim and lovely light too.

Electrical.
A lovely bit of selective colour which makes a huge difference to the way it looks.

Road To Nowhere (Talking Heads)

I'm hoping this isn't the one with the lyrics...

"A semi by the sea..."

Nice capture and works well.

 

[Darkslinger]

Liking the Heads. Good choice and shot Jim.

Week 40 - Looking Down

This morning was lovely and misty so I put my camera in the backpack for my cycle to work. Stopped off at a local river beach and took an image of some boats in the mist, and then ..... battery dead! AARRGGHHH! (why didn't I check before I left home and replace it with a charged one?).

Anyway, I did manage to get a couple of mobile phone images for this week's theme, hope you like them.

Looking Down the boardwalk




Looking Down the railway lines

 

[Darkslinger]

I like both shots Jim. I think that you've chosen he right one.

I feel your pain about the battery, I had it happen to me a couple of times and then started bringing a second battery with all the time...

Thanks Bill, I was absolutely kicking myself! Lesson learned

 

[Bebop]

Love the misty boardwalk shot. Who needs a camera anyway?

Edit: I have a friend who walked to the top of a mountain only to discover his SD card was still in his computer.

Thanks. That would be a real kick in the butt to do that! I always check and double check everything if i'm off on a long walk.

 

[Peter123]

2 good images.
I like the boardwalk disappearing into the mist.

Week 41 - Rustic

Rustic driftwood sculptures

 

[Bebop]

I’d quite like one of those horses in the garden! Perfect for the theme. Where is it?

 

[AlanDorset]

Interesting juxtaposition of rustic rural with non-rustic urban.

Thanks, this is at a cafe/furniture shop/sofa manufacturers near Budleigh Salterton (It's called The Oak Barn)

Interesting juxtaposition of rustic rural with non-rustic urban.

Thanks Alan

 

[SimonH]

Fab horse sculptures - looks an interesting place.

Fab horse sculptures - looks an interesting place.

It certainly is, they sell all sorts of (very expensive) furniture.

 

[seaodyssey]

Interesting looking place and very rustic.

Thanks Pete

 

[Peter123]

Nice idea.
The “animals” and the thatch type roof give it a rustic feel.

 

[HelenC]

I've seen sculptures like this in willow but never driftwood. Impressive and fits the bill nicely.

 

[Darkslinger]

Those are very cool Jim.

 

[FlyPhot]

Just had a few days away in Somerset/Wiltshire/Dorset, and went into a lovely cafe/art gallery in Frome, which is a converted church. I noticed this piece of precision musical instrument above us on a gallery and was struck by the intricate decoration etc ..
