Incy's 52 for 2018 Week 9 Abundance

Nice stark themed image - is it intentional that the bottom half is so dark? Is this a silhouette image as if so, it's very good

Thank you, I took the picture just before 1pm today, the light wasn't all that good.. blue skies until I got there and then it clouded over and went very dull ... so decided to make it a silhouette in PS.
 
Great moody photo, nothing to criticise (y)
 
Nice shot for stark, very dramatic

This theme really does lend itself to mono shots, doesn't it.
Works well, your pp skills have got you a good image (but obviously you needed to imagine the shot first) (y)

I was intending to just go for a bleak looking scene with a solitary item, mainly a tree, and as I live near the Mendips (used to live on them) I know a few areas where you can get some pictures along those lines.
It wasn't until I got out there and realised just how dull the light had got that made me start to think of a mono shot. When I transferred the pictures I took to my laptop it made my mind up that mono was the way to go.
 
People - I like your unusual set up reminds my of climbing days out. fun take on the theme.

Stark - very bleak great silhouette I like it
 
As Stark tree shots go ... that's a nice one. (y)
 
I like that, but I do think yopu could lose a little of the foreground to babalnce the image a bit better.
 
Week 0 - 3 - #0 A little dark and the glass confused me as it looked like it was floating, realised the stem behind the mouse. #1 For a hand held shot at night did well, tripod would have helped. #2 Clever idea and nice detail. #3 Good PP and choice of monochrome. Waiting for Week 4 ....

I’m using a rota to make sure I spread my comments round. Will be doing about 1 in 7 each week, so this week you got lucky :)

Thank you, I did think about losing a bit of the foreground, will have a look at a crop when I get chance to fiddle :)

#1 Definitely will use the tripod next time.
Thank you :)

Two super images since my last visit to your thread; People is an excellent idea and you arranged and captured them really well, while Stark is just that; very striking contrast and an ideal subject :clap:

Having been unable to take pictures or access the internet very well for a couple of weeks, these are a few catch up shots to get back up to date...

Over thought, over processed ... over.

Over by Incy R, on Flickr

I bought this tobacco tin over 20 years ago and use it every day (I pre roll smokes)

Aged by Incy R, on Flickr

Cooking food tonight so thought I would take a picture before I lost a finger or two.

All very good and all nicely on theme - I think the 'over' themed one is superb
 
Great catch-up!

Over doesn't work for me I'm afraid, but the other two are excellent shots!

Thank you, I wasn't sure about the 'over' one and did create the picture when the theme was live, but didn't post it as I was hoping to find something else.

I like the knife in the carrot .... but tighter crop for me.
 
I had loads of ideas for this week but nothing seemed to work out very well.
Bit of a last minute idea found while I was tidying up the spare room.

Guard by Incy R, on Flickr
 
Over - simple but yet effective and to the point.
Age(ing) - simple and fits the theme, but the image doesn't wow me.
Sharp - Ouch that knife looks very sharp, thats another box ticked.
Guard(ed) - fits the theme, but I am sure you could get a better composition.

I do need to work a bit more on composition, I tend to rush things a bit.
 
Over - Not sure on this one to be honest, but it's always nice to try something different.
Aged - Plenty of patina on the old tin. Perhaps a little soft? (Or maybe a result of the high ISO used). I would have been tempted to use a tripod and long exposure to allow the use of the native ISO.
Sharp - Much sharper than the previous shot ;) Bang on theme, good use of angles and the deliberate tight crop.
Best of the catchup IMO.
Guard - Not sure I could ever find those bits of my clippers after they've been used once! Going mono was the right choice for this shot. :)

I did rush the catch up shots, and as always with me, I seem to have better ideas at night.. I am unnaturally (for most) nocturnal.
Thank you :)
 
Hmmm ... not sure mainly because I can't work out what it is. o_O
