I deliberately kept the numbering in shot as I thought it added something to the image, also using the tank and front mudguards as framing devices.Hi Tim,
Transport - it had to be a train for youThanks for the info about the name as well, I know nothing about trains but it's nice to learn new facts. Nicely composed, I even like the OOF plant in the foreground.
Broken - Good to see something different, I've never had a go at pinhole photos, will have to look up how to go about it. It certainly has a different feel to it and I like it, especially with the subject and the theme.
Minimal - It's a subject I struggled with even though I generally enjoy minimalistic shots. You have two interesting takes on the theme and I go for the second one, not minimalistic in the sense I would have thought of but a good interpretation non the less. I like the framing,especially with the number across the top. The shadows feel a little dark to me but that could be my monitor.
I left the barrel quite dark as that's how it looked on the day (there was scope to bring the shadows up more).
Of the two shots I like both Tim, my choice is the engine showing how small it is
Thanks everyone. Seems I was right to go with the engine as an alternative, but valid take on the theme.

Hi Tim,
Minimalistic - Like this shot bang on theme and like the compo.
Progress - another shot bang on theme and conveys the topic well.

Love it
that pigeon he's a character
Agree with the above, a cool shot
Cheers all. i was a bit worried about how cluttered it was, but it doesn't seem to have marred your enjoyment of it.
Er no, I can catagorically state it was a real plastic pigeon
But did you spot the Bren Gun ?Progress took me a moment...lol... rather amusing tbh
Cheers David. I wanted something different for minimalistic and I think it worked.The engine/motor is a good/different take on Minimalistic ... interesting too.
More retro gear in that Progress offering ... pigeon too.
Ta Nigel. I thought that the composition on Minimalistic worked well like that too

Week 24 - Pleasure(able)
Temperatures at the Circuit de la Sarthe were about 4 or 5 degrees above London this past weekend, it was the hottest Le Mans 24Hrs that I've been to.
Other than watching the racing, this shot demonstrates the single most pleasurable activity on site over the weekend (even at 8 euros per pint).

It's the back of the stands along the start/finish straight. This was taken on the Friday afternoon before the crowds arrive for the weekend itself.8 Euros a pintthat's not very pleasurable

You watch as much or as little as you want. I watched less this year than in previous years due to the blistering heat and thus a desire for some cooling beerage.

You're right on both counts
That was the idea, not bluring out the background so much that you couldn't make it out.... nice sense of "being there" as those kind of shots always do.
Ta Mark
We've made it to 4 of the last 5, it's a bit cheaper than what we used to do (Banger rallies like The Crumball)I've always fancy going to Le Mans one year, but €8 a pint may just put me off.

Week 25 : Tiny
Toy Trains are tiny compared to the real thing, and this looks like a toy train.
Okay, so it's the real thing really, with a tilt shift effect added by hand (CS2 doesn't have any TS built it).

Cheers Dave. I quite like using TS effects when the shot is right, and it's ever so easy to do.Like your tiny take on theme Tim, a cool shot using tilt shift, a very nice BG to really set it off well
I thought this worked nicely.

I am not sure this is working as a tilt shift I have never attempted one but those I see are usually from an overhead view,
how it works for me is it looks like the kind of train you would put together as a child all those different carriages

When I first saw it I couldn't make up my mind whether it was a model or the real thing, the backgorund says real but the train says model asn as Alllan says the mix of trucks is the sort of thing that would be found on a model. Anyway I think it's nicely done.

Agreed, most TS effect shots tend to be of the looking down variety, but I think the effect works where you have a significant horizontal subject (so ideal for trains
)So it worked then
The smoke kind of gives it away though.It's interesting that you both think the mix of trucks is toy train like.
I agree, it is the kind of thing you would see on a train set, but until 1962, British Railways ran under 'common carrier obligation', due to the Rail and Canal Traffic Act of 1854.
This means that the railways were obliged to carry any and all goods offered to them. Firms often used their own rolling stock, so on branch lines, you really did get an eclectic mix of wagons.

Nicely done Tim, you have done real well doing that by hand, the nice vivid colours really add a toy look, like it

Surely the blur and vibrance gives it away
It's actually not that hard to do, and once you get the hang of it, I doubt you'd bother with dedicated filters / pluginsNicely done Tim, you have done real well doing that by hand, the nice vivid colours really add a toy look, like it
