weekly Gav's TP 52 - 2023 - Week 16 - Connected

[Gav.]

Terrarium's really nice, assume it's lit just by it's own light there. Giving a really interesting shadow and the concentric rings around it.

Thank you, yes, it has LED lights inside the cork lid and the ripples in the glass give off a nice pattern.

Hare's are great too - really low POV and I imagine they're not that easy to spot, and don;t hang around long. Don't think I've ever even seen one!

Thank you, not always easy to spot but you get to know what to look for, I spent half an hour crawling up to these 2, as long as you behave they'll stick around
Here's one hiding

And the knob is great too. Lovely reflection, I'd have had the clone tool out on a couple of the bigger dust specks.

Thank you, I'll be honest I'm kicking myself, I seem to have skipped a step on that one

Thank you for the feedback!

A nice set of catch up shots. I particularly like the brass knob which has lovely lighting and a great reflection.

Good catch up there, as others have said your knob is excellent! I am so envious of your hare shot, I tried for ever last year to get a picture of some in a field across the road. Saw them there most mornings for about two weeks but was totally unable to get near enough for a shot. So much admire your fieldcraft.

Hares are a bit of an obsession at the minute, I love them, but they are very tricky buggers, a lot of time face in the dirt crawling about

 

[Darkslinger]

Great set Gav, I particularly like the shot of the hares and the knob.

Nice and sharp on the focal point with blur front and back. Good use of shallow DOF to add interest

Good angle and very sharp.
I'm assuming you used a tripod.

Thank you, no, all free hand, I hate tripods, they get in the way

 

[Gav.]

I wasn't sure what to do for this one, here's my toaster with crumpets in

 

[Fuji Dave]

Love crumpets either with honey or marmite yummy, nice shot mate and the reds are nicely red.

Cheers Dave, Marmite or just salted butter for me I love the glow of things like this so had to try.

 

[overbez]

Nice image - nicely taken - can;t see the crumpets - the shot works just with the lovely red glow of the elements.

Are they quartz or something? Fancy!

Thank you, crumpets were too low, I should've waited for them to pop up

Fancy Quartz elements, best thing in the kitchen

Nice toaster & back ground isolates it well, my better half insists on using the cooker grill rather than our toaster

Thank you... I guess it saves the crumbs in the bottom of the toaster

 

[Darkslinger]

That's a good shot Gav. Fits the theme well. I didn't know that Bosch even made toasters...

Thank you, Bill it's no power tool, but makes a nice snack

Toasted crumpets, not had them before but they sound delicious. Image-wise, I like the pov to include the red-hot colour elements.
