So, the start of my first real 52. Lokking forward to it a lot.

I look at all the submissions on the thread and tend to only comment if I feel I have something to say - dont think Im dissing you by not posting on your thread.
Looks like a lot of new faces signed up for 2017, so I look forward to everyones renditions of the themes.

Lets go......
 
Sales would have peaked around this time of the year. Good composition Mark .. .like the scrunched up sachet and well exposed to show the inside the packet.

Thanks Carl, it didnt quite come out how I had it my head, but I think thats the joys of 52s!
 
Not the most inspired composition in my opinion, but definitely bang on theme :)
 
I don't know a lot of Frank Turner's work, but listening to the video you linked it is classic Frank.
Very on theme for your chosen theme, and apt for this time of year.
I do like the way you've focused on the wrappers, giving the water a bleary eyed appearance.
 
Hi Mark and welcome back :wave:

Recovery is definitely the theme for January and the shot fits. My only crit would have been to try a different background as it overpowers the pic a little and makes the glass look a little skewed.

I think thats more down to trying to warm it up a tad too much in LR.

Thanks Tim, the blurriness is caused by all the bubbles bursting at the top and me not using a fast enough shutter!

Agree on all tbh... I did try to square it up, but then the top of the glass looked wrong.Not a good submission generally.
 
Nice idea just not sure you have it, this seems a little flat, works for the theme though
 
Hi Mark

yes glass looks a little squiffy ... nice idea.
 
Struggled to come up with soemthing origianl for this one....

Anyways...

In the name of the Law - I ORDER you to stop !

Very well put together, made me smile. I think having him running out of the frame adds a sense of escaping
 
Both image bang on their respective themes. Love the lego figures (y)
 
Love it Mark. Really made me smile in the morning gloom. I like the slightly oof background, it focusses the eye on the action.
 
Excellent idea and execution Mark ... very original thinking. I like the mix with reality.
 
The Lego and the unfocused BG fit together well. Nice work. :clap:

Week 1 a fun take on the theme, and the image is pin sharp my crit is I feel there should be a bit more space for the lego man running away from the copper to run into.

I like the composition of the lego vs real life, and this would be a safer way to shoot the police than @Bearair's adventure.
I want to see a bag marked "swag".

THANKS everyone.....after a disapppointing week 0, it looks like I hit the spot with this one....
Funny, as I only came up with the idea on Wednesday evening and knocked it out. Took about 10 shots using OCF to get the lighting right, and Im about 85% happy with this.
Ive been meaning to get into doing the Lego figures stuff as it makes me and others smile, so the other half bought me some for xmas...
Biggest issue with me being the only child in the house is a lack of props to use them with - hence the idea of using my ipad as a background....
This wont be the last time you see thse guys here , trust me....
 
Great and funny submission, I assume the background is a picture of a Barclays branch and not a window?
 
Week 0 - Like the idea and on theme but as others have said the background doesn't work for me and I think a lower perspective might also of worked better.

Week 1 - like the shot and the compo but might be tried to lift the shadows on the figures thou.
