weekly Jason's 52 in 2016 - TOPICAL

pjm1 · 1 Feb 2016

Great capture and nicely processed, Jason. Obviously don't know them from Adam, but it feels as if you can get a sense of their personalities through that image, which is the key to a great portrait for me. Superb!

Carl Ayling · 2 Feb 2016

Very nice portrait for Happy - to be treasured, lovely smile. :clap:

Bruja · 4 Feb 2016

Great portrait for Happy and they don't look old enough to have been married that long. A picture to be proud of :clap:

Super shot Jason ....I had lovely parents too ....I hope I set the same example for my family. I really like the choice of B&W I often prefer it for people photos.

Week 5: Abandoned

I found these old bottles "abandoned" on an old landfill site. I collected them knowing they'd come in useful one day

Abandoned by Jason Glyn, on Flickr

Allan.H · 5 Feb 2016

Very nice, excellent PP too can't fault that at all, nice one

Carl Ayling · 5 Feb 2016

Oh yes, I like those Jason/ Nice find and great composition. Like the complimenting bg. :clap:

d00d · 5 Feb 2016

HP Sauce, Shiptons Paste, don't know about the other ... really nice work Jason. :clap:

viv1969 · 5 Feb 2016

Abandoned is very effective.
I like your PP.

Bruja · 5 Feb 2016

Great shot for abandoned and the processing really makes it stand out. Bravo :clap:

susiejb · 6 Feb 2016

I love this one Jason ....the processing is perfect ....definitely my favourite of the week :clap:

Cobra · 6 Feb 2016

Looks more like "rescued" to me

Great idea well presented Jason

Jon.P.73 · 6 Feb 2016

Happy - lovely story and capture - B&W works really well

Abandoned - would have been nice to have seen them "in situ" and still abandoned but good take on the theme and the PP works well with the theme too

Emja · 6 Feb 2016

That's a very striking shot - great PP and the effect on the background works perfectly.

tyrex1 · 8 Feb 2016

That’s different I like your take on the theme love the background looks great super shot.

LC2 · 9 Feb 2016

Interesting shot. Not sure it sells 'abandoned' to me, but it works nicely as an image. Perhaps a little more DoF needed to keep the small pot in sharp focus?

Week 6 - Camouflage

This is me

Camouflage by Jason Glyn, on Flickr

Allan.H · 9 Feb 2016

That's so good, fascinating the detail of the skin?and paint?

can't fault it :clap:

posiview · 9 Feb 2016

Yep, one of the best of this theme and IMO of the year so far.

Temptation to cover the whole arm, but leaving to inked arm works really well. I removed the frame....but prefer it in.

I did something similar for a previous 52

Cheers.

SteveSc · 10 Feb 2016

Happy - A lovely portrait and just speaks of happiness.

Abandoned - A good collection of bottles and nicely composed/shot. Would have liked all three bottles in focus or just one with the other two out of focus.

Camouflage - is that paint on your hand? Good idea for the theme and well executed

Pinkbikerbabe · 10 Feb 2016

Happy - I think it has all been said, a cracking portrait.

Abandoned - as mentioned a nice collection of bottles, I do like your pp work on this image.

Camouflage - excellent take on the theme, I really like it :clap:

.

viv1969 · 10 Feb 2016

Camouflage.
I like that a great deal.....but I can't help wondering what it would look like with the parts of the arm free from paint perhaps being in colour.

SamTD · 10 Feb 2016

Nice take on the theme, very nice

susiejb · 10 Feb 2016

Fabulous shot of the hand Jason ...I love the softness of the processing, it works as a stand alone image for me.

Dark Knight · 10 Feb 2016

That's a great idea Jason, love the crackled finish of the paint (presuming it is paint) a nice posture of the hand too, nice one

nickbee · 10 Feb 2016

I had to look at this on a big screen to figure it out but I'm glad I did. Brilliantly detailed and it's a really original idea.

Cobra · 11 Feb 2016

Great idea Jason nicely presented

purplepleaser · 12 Feb 2016

Jason Hi,

Happy - , a cracking portrait. Nothing to add.

Abandoned - Good idea with the old bottles, like the processing.

Camouflage - excellent take on the theme, clever idea.

Carl Ayling · 12 Feb 2016

Very original - love the subtle tonal changes in the whites. Nicely done Jason. :clap:

Emja · 13 Feb 2016

A brilliant idea for camouflaged and beautifully shot - the contrast with your tattooed arm is perfect.

cargo · 13 Feb 2016

Fab idea for camouflaged and you nailed perfectly.

Gaz

Toothie · 13 Feb 2016

Looks like your reaching for something - excellent shot :clap:

d00d · 14 Feb 2016

Well done Jason .. super job. :clap:

tyrex1 · 16 Feb 2016

With the above great job on the theme I like it a lot

Yup that paint. Regading the focus on the bottles, all bottles sharp in original picture the blur is added as part of the wet plate treatment

HI. I did try it in colour though just didnt look right....b&w also helped minimise contrast between background and paint on hand which I wanted. Thanks for comment - all very much appreciated

Week 7 - Danger(ous)

Bit of a shoehorn for me this week

We spent Valentines weekend away touring Cambrige, and very nice it was

. Whilst touring the colleges we came upon this statue of Henry VIII above the entrance to Trinity college (Henry founded Trinity college just weeks before he died).

This got me thinking - was he a nice man, loving and kind or did the fact he had 2 wifes behead make him a danger(ous) man. According to this article he was indead a psychopath -------->

The word Trinity has been composited on, and is from the plaque for Trinity Street opposite the entrance to the colledge.

There is also an interesting story (or mystery) behind the table leg that he is holding

Danger(ous) by Jason Glyn, on Flickr

Carl Ayling · 17 Feb 2016

Hi Jason. Definitely a Dangerous man our old 'enry. Knew he had problems with his legs but not the wooden chair variety. You got me mystified so looked up the story of Mr. Binge the window cleaner wot dun the deed ha ha. I like the history and mystery wrapped in your rendition of Dangerous. Brilliant - very educational ... even though most of us TP52's are probably beyond salvation I suspect. :exit:

Pinkbikerbabe · 17 Feb 2016

Danger(ous) - a good and historical take on the theme, don't know much about him. But I do like the detail in the stonework, glad you had a nice valentines weekend.

purplepleaser · 18 Feb 2016

Danger(ous) - nice image, sharp and plenty of detail, might look good in a B&W conversion
