And he's straight in there but passed up the opportunity to post a track or an engine.
That's what you call restraint
Nice sharp image, plenty of texture and detail. Nice start Tim
Cheers Mr
@Cobra "res
traint"
Very nice, you can feel the pits and rust !
Thanks Jon. It's taken many years of neglect to get that patina.
Metal: like the vertical lines in this, and the way the lighting has made the metal disc shine. Nice!
The lighting was a right royal pain.
Like these takes, gives an industrious feel, with the lock and hasp and staple
Thanks Walter
My goodness Tim, that was faster than a speeding ... um ... bullet train. I really like the contrasting textures of wood and metal that have seen better days. Spot on theme.
Cheers Carl. I knew I'd have a hang over today, so it was good to get this in yesterday
I like the contrast of the shiny metal against the rust and texture of the wood
Thanks
@kr8
You are quick off the mark Tim, I only just found out the theme.
Well Stan, it's not as if I was naging
@Cobra or anything
Nice bit of metal there.
Looks like you didn't photograph straight on as the LHS looks a little OOF. Not too keen on the composition, a little tight at the top and bottom. I might have been tempted to crop a little of the RHS to draw some attention to the shadow.
I am partial to textures and plenty in the wood and rust.
Cheers.
Compositionally I was a bit restrained. Slightly above and to the right of the hask & staple there is a Yale Lock at a very peculiar angle. I needed to keep that out of the shot, hence the tight crop. The light was very harsh too, and with the angle it was hitting the lock, I had to be at a slight angle to avoid dazzling reflections and massive blown highlights on the lock(I did try changing the angle of the lock, but no real joy). I quite like the bluring into the distance though
Good idea for the theme and well captured details, perhaps a little more space around it?
Hi Chris. Perhaps, I did crop it tightly deliberately, see my reply to Andy for why
Very sharp and detailed picture! It could also fit for with last week's old theme
Hi Sam, yes I guess it would, but the lock itself if only about 10 years old, the garage doors maybe 5 years more.
"Old" - I like the picture of the car but for me it's a little too desaturated and I find myself trying to pick out colours rather than enjoying the very crisp lines!
"Metal" - very nice, lots of texture. Would portrait orientation have been a more comfortable fit?
Hi Nick. The car was deliberately de-saturated to that level because the disk with "2" on it was actually bright yellow plastic and very out of place. I could have gone the whole hog, but I wanted to try to keep a smidge of colour in there
Hi, I agree with Andy's comments about you getting straight on, very tight in the frame, portrait might have suited it better.
. Hi Allan, I think I got the best I could there due to the rest of the door and lighting (I could post a blown out slightly straighter, uncropped image but nah, it's horrible and I wouldn't want to offend anyone else's eyes
).
