LC2's Cosplay & Railway Shoehorns for 2019 - Week VII - Rough
- Thread starter LC2
- Start date
Good idea , Tim, and you've done well with all the reflections and shiny surfaces. I did something similar in 2015 for 'Machine' (below) so that may be the one you remember? I've seen one since taken from inside the machine looking out, but I'm not sure I would be comfortable doing that with a camera!
I like the addition of the brightly coloured sock to add some extra interest and coloured reflections, so it doesn't bother me that the drum is 'wonky' as a result.
Just noticed that the link to your 'New' image is broken but it seems to be a forum-wide problem with some threads so hopefully it will be fixed.

No? I quite liked it. You may have to get used to frames on my shots
Ta Bob.
Frames rock don't they...
Stan beat me to it (and I see what you did there
The white in the top corners is a bit grey. 30 secs was spent faffing and then I gave up
Andrea had done something similar (though I didn't remember it was Andrea) so I had to change something to make if different and the addition of colour seemed appropriate.
Yes, it was your Machine image I'm paying homage to (I remembered the image, but not who posted it or when - which says a lot about your original image really, doesn't it )
Yes, "NEW" has disappeared It is a forum problem. I even tried re-adding the bbcode and it didn't help, hey ho, I'm sure marcel will f1x0r it soon.
Thanks Allan, I was pretty happy with "NEW", shame the forum software doesn't like it!
With "CLEAN" I needed to not simply replicate what Andrea did in 2015 and thought the addition of colour via the sock was that 'change' that allowed me to use the idea. (Shame the sock was actually waiting to go into the washing )

I don’t mind the frame Tim, I almost put one on mine this week as I rather like them. It clean and it’s shiny so it suits the topic perfectly
Definitely works for me, and the sock is spot on!
Nicely composed and well executed image.
Newbie question though:
What's a PABD? (I think I figured out CBA!)

I pondered spinning the drum, but it doesn't spin for very long.
But then I would have had to clean stuff!
Oh yes, much...

It's a fine image of a nice clean washing machine and a dirty sock 
I do like the splash of colour, the cropping is a bit tight but its one of those "at what point do you stop" shots. I'm sure if you zoomed out there would be something you didn't like in the shot

I thought I had commented on your first two, but evidently didn't, so here's a catch up....
New is a great image, works brilliantly in mono. It would no doubt do very well as a stock image too.
Clean, nice idea but I find the crop too tight.
Open, well, you couldn't get much more on theme than that!

very nice and definitely open
Great image that speaks for itself!
You can't get more on-theme than this!
Nice bright colours, good contrast and the black background gives it a super, punchy look!
Very nicely done Tim!

Worked out pretty well considering the TZ8 (yes 8) only produces jpgs.

Clean was deliberately cropped in like that to remove the distractions of people walking past in the morning rush (and as has been said - looking oddly at me).
I think there was a word needed have you not seen it? it would be spot on for this weeks theme
Yes, the sign itself is just inside the window. Actually I'm quite please the condensation is there as it proves it's not as soft as it initially looks (I think the neons give it a slightly soft look).
Sadly I've been vaguely on theme every week so far.
That will have to stop.
Cheers Ian. So a B&W conversion wouldn't be for you? (I did try one).
New - I like the simplicity of the image and angle of the compass on the map. Works well in black and white with the contrast between the dark lines of the roads and the white background of the map. Didn't recognise any of the place names so I googled it and it's not as far from me as I thought it would be lol
Clean - The sock makes this image really interesting, especially as it's a funky colour. Nice clean washing machine too!
Open - My first thought was a also a neon sign, but I couldn't think of anywhere to find one easily lol. Clever of you to take it during the day and make it look nice and dark like a night time shot. Just enough colour to make it pop without being over the top. Can't really fit the theme any better either!

Really like the week 4 shot. Track line taking me through the frame. The signals have loads of features to look at and focus looks good. The image comes alive with the steam from the engine too.
If it were my image I’d have loved to tinker with those clouds, you’ve got a great sky there. Good image !

Hi Tim,
Just getting round to catching up...
New - Not a shoehorn at all! Very cleverly thought out and a nice crisp mono image to boot. What's not to like?
Clean - Another clever and spot on take for the theme. Perfect symmetry and leaving the solitary sock in there was a great idea.
Open - Spot on theme that's for sure! The black BG makes it really pop out too
Distant - The tracks really guide my eye between the signals although I do find the far one is a bit too close to the edge. I like the fact that you have got a train in steam in it too.

I did try various permutations of including / cropping out the far Home signal, but decided on keeping it in as a subject for the leading lines to actually lead to. I agree it's a tad close to the edge, but due to the fact the photo was taken from a moving train, leaning out of the window, I didn't have a lot of time to concentrate on the edges of the shot and once the shot was straightened, it was a pretty much have it close to the edge or not at all.
@Chenti feel free to have a play with the sky and post back here
I shot about a stop under due to the variable conditions and wanting the latitude to play with the light in post. In the cold light of the day today, it looks perhaps 1/3rd of a stop under now.
