[Boots]

Very nice, and bang on theme!

 

[Fuji Dave]

Wet is all we seem to be having here too, well done.

 

[NickD]

Nice use of DOF, and lovely detail.

 

[LC2]

New Car ?

 

[seaodyssey]

Nice close up of a wet new car. Nice crop as well.

 

[SimonH]

Assume new car? Nice shot….

 

[philthejuggler]

Cracking shot - lovely composition, dof and colours - the droplets really make the image.

 

[Darkslinger]

Nice image Simon, fits the theme to a "T"...(someone had to say it...)

 

[-Oy-]

Yep box ticked

 

[foolycooly]

Very nice, and bang on theme!

Thanks Boots

Wet is all we seem to be having here too, well done.

Yeah - its been nasty down here for ages now - Thanks

Nice use of DOF, and lovely detail.

Thanks Nick

New Car ?

Absolutely, got it just before Christmas, and was the only thing I could think that was "New"

Nice close up of a wet new car. Nice crop as well.

Cheers

Assume new car? Nice shot….

Arrived for Christmas , and thanks

Cracking shot - lovely composition, dof and colours - the droplets really make the image.

Thanks Phil - was the first thing that popped into my head, I'm glad it worked out as well as it did

Nice image Simon, fits the theme to a "T"...(someone had to say it...)

Cheers

Yep box ticked

Thanks

 

[lindsay]

good one for the theme.

 

[FlyPhot]

Good image, nice and sharp, plenty of detail and on theme.

 

[HelenC]

Lovely detailed image. A good start.

 

[Cockney]

Very nice. Watch your licence!

 

[Cloudforest]

Nicely done. works well with the water.

 

[Donnie]

Works well, good depth of field, great droplets and reflections of the dull sky in them. My only issue is that the crop is a bit tight for me on the sides especially the right which touches the tip of the emblem.

 

[Bebop]

I plainly know nothing as I thought it was some sort of stainless steel implement on a black background... a new Tesla?

Tha raindrops make the shot for me. Now @Donnie has mentioned it, I agree a little more space around it may work better, but I like the composition on a diagonal.

Week 2: Old

I had this idea in my head as soon as the theme was announced - I did a similar one many years ago, and hadn't been back to Kimmeridge since, so I decided to combine it with a nice walk. followed by a hideous walk, as I also thought to go to Durdle Door in case none of the Fossil shots came out.

Things I learnt: I suck at manual focus, especially trying to be clever, and learn to use the bloody tidal times so you don't turn up with most of the beach underwater....

Anyway - this weeks submission....

And here are a few of the other shots that I had saved to Shoehorn into the topic by claiming the rocks are also really Old...

I think you got the top prize for the oldest object this week. IMHO a square format may better suit here, I find the bottom part doesn't add any value to the image.

 

[SimonH]

Great shots, and as Stan says, first prize for the oldest old thing!

 

[Fuji Dave]

Agree with above said, first one is a cracker and bang on theme.

 

[Boots]

Yes, oldest so far... by a long way. I agree that a square crop would work better.

 

[LC2]

Agree with the square crop comment. Jared Polin has a lot to answer for...

 

[foolycooly]

Well, since everyone thinks so....I present Square Fossil

[Fuji Dave]

That is a damn sight better, now one cracking shot.

 

[foolycooly]

That is a damn sight better, now one cracking shot.

Thank you Dave

 

[Darkslinger]

Nice series Simon, a good choice for this week's theme. I think that I like the first waterfall shot the best.

 

[AlanDorset]

That’s met the definition for “old”! Square crop works well.

 

[-Oy-]

Yep - square it is!

 

[Cloudforest]

A good shot well on theme. I like the new square crop and the black and white processing.

 

[ncf15]

Agree with last comment, great shot

 

[seaodyssey]

Nice square fossil, are they that easy to find in Kimmeridge bay.

 

[HelenC]

Lovely shot and works really well in the cropped version. Lovely place to go for a walk!

Week 3 - Receptacle

Kismet strikes - had a glass on the desk, and a can of Pepsi, and my kit was next to me - quick shuffle round, and I managed to get a set I was happy with in record time!

[Boots]

Bang, straight in there! Deserves some sort of a prize... probably.

 

[foolycooly]

Bang, straight in there! Deserves some sort of a prize... probably.

not a Focus prize - now I've looked at it more, the dots on the background paper being the sharpest thing is really bugging me - its getting re-taken soon

 

[SimonH]

Ticks the box on the theme and speedily done
