weekly Leebert's 2015 52 - Week 52 - Christmas.

LC2 · 29 Nov 2015

Hi Lee. The 1st connected (focusing on the conector) and disconnected are the strongest for me. That is an interesting connector, I would have expected a ribbon cable.
The last shot, whilst I can see the focal point, doesn't have the impact imo.

posiview · 30 Nov 2015

#1 for me. Nice detail and lighting. I might have got in closer to the silver cheese grater thingy

Cheers.

Carl Ayling · 30 Nov 2015

Hi Lee. Quite like all three and probably in the order of submission. #3 is probably a little too intricate, whilst #2 is just the reverse. Yes, #1 for me ... spot on.

Blush · 30 Nov 2015

Loving the first shot, Lee. It's well lit and the macro at the grill of the thingy really stands out :clap:

Allan.H · 30 Nov 2015

Hi first one for me, bit closer in might have made it a little more interesting

Nice use of macro & OCF Lee

Thanks Mr Snakey

Interesting circuit boards,TV? The multiple OCF did the trick

Thank you. It's the insides of a dead HDD recorder.

Thank you. The connector in question is for all the power rails. Maybe a ribbon cable like the rest in the unit aren't quite man enough?

Thanks Andy. I'll look into a closer re-composition.

Andy mentioned that too. I'll have a look at re-doing it I think.

Leebert · 30 Nov 2015

As an aside, how does the WB look? I keep thinking it has a touch of a blue cast to it but it could just be me.

Answers on a postcard please...

Hmmmm .... if anything, a bit of a magenta cast in #3 Lee

susiejb · 1 Dec 2015

Hi Lee #1 for me too, although I think #3 has some really interesting looking bits, so if you could get in closer I think that one would work too, maybe using a side angle rather than straight on. Certainly spot on for the theme.

Dark Knight · 1 Dec 2015

No 1 for me too Lee, although I like the simplicity, composition and square on look of the second shot, nice even lighting on all

rpn · 2 Dec 2015

Prefer the second shot of the three. Spot-on focus, sharp and good details.

Brian_of_Bozeat · 2 Dec 2015

Like Deans shot, Technically you have achieved your aim, but I find the subject matter dull. Nonetheless others will like them I'm sure.
A pull back shot would have earned a bit more Kudos.

d00d · 2 Dec 2015

Interesting stuff for Connected Lee.

#2 says Connected, or certainly would if cables were connected.

#1 & #3 are of more interest to me. But I'd like to get in there much closer to get more detail.

Bruja · 3 Dec 2015

A great trio from you Lee for Connected. #1 is my fave, because of the composition and the colours :clap:

Thanks Carl. I may invest in one of those monitor calibrator thingys.

Thanks Susie. No1 is my preferred one too. I think I'll have a look at alternative angles.

Interesting - more compositions to try.

Thanks David. One to try again on a rainy weekend - like this one is forecast to be

Week 49 - Down.

TP 2015 52. Week 49 - Down. by Lee Francis, on Flickr

posiview · 10 Dec 2015

Makes me feel dizzy.

Like this one. Fills the frame. Nice detail and movement in the water.

Cheers.

sirch · 10 Dec 2015

I agree good sense of movement

d00d · 10 Dec 2015

Ah, now this is something I thought about having a go at, but chickened out. Nice movement, nicely framed.

michael23 · 10 Dec 2015

Nice, the b+w works well for it, a nice sense of movement too, if anything, a little tight on the crop on the lhs.

Blush · 10 Dec 2015

Hi, Lee... Amazing shot of the water :clap:

I agree with @michael23 would love to see a tighter crop, though

Cobra · 10 Dec 2015

As the others have said, great sense of movement,
it fits well

Allan.H · 10 Dec 2015

I think this works well filling the frame as it does, as said above has some good movement in it

Brian_of_Bozeat · 10 Dec 2015

You did a good job there Lee.

susiejb · 10 Dec 2015

Hi Lee ....think it's all been said, super shot for the theme, really like the capture of the swirling water....well done :clap:

Carl Ayling · 10 Dec 2015

Hi Lee. A lot more detail than in mine which ended up as an overly abstract image. Nicely taken with the swirl of water wonderfully captured - well done you :clap:

.

LC2 · 10 Dec 2015

I don't think I can add anything to the other comments. Great shot !

Thank you all for the kind comments

I agree it's a touch tight on the LHS. It's the edge of the frame and I didn't notice it until I posted it. Funny what can be missed at the time that appears obvious later

Dark Knight · 13 Dec 2015

Nice Down shot Lee, like it in B&W and the square crop work well too (though a bit tight LH side) but that's very minor crit - nice one

I can't believe it's nearly over for 2015!

Week 50 - Organised.

Going through my photo goodies bag and getting 'Organised' for the TP 52 of 2016. Im very impressed with the lack of noise in this one considering it was shot at ISO12800 as an experiment.

Organised by Lee Francis, on Flickr[/URL]

Carl Ayling · 19 Dec 2015

That's quite impressive Lee - I too would have thought the high ISO would have resulted in more noticeable noise. I'll have to put my Canon through it's paces to see what it can manage. Organised is spot on - that is some array of kit you have there and all looking sparkling clean. :clap:

sirch · 19 Dec 2015

Looking good Lee. Nice set of kit and well organised

Thanks Carl. I'd be interesting to see the results. I do have a small admission to make - it's not all mine but you are right, it is all sparkling clean

Week 51 - Living...

I had a walk around Marden Park in Woldingham today and found this fallen tree off the beaten track. In nature, nothing is wasted. Something dying means that something else can be Living.

TP 2015 52. Week 51 - Living. by Lee Francis, on Flickr

LC2 · 19 Dec 2015

Organised - A fair selection of kit there Lee, nicely organised. Nicely presented (are they going up in the classified section later?

)
Living - Nicely on subject and nice sharp focus on the fungus. It would be nice to see more variation in the colours, but you can only do your best with what's available.
:clap:

Carl Ayling · 19 Dec 2015

Nature is so wonderful - amazing how the fungus thrives off the rotting tree trunk, helping to split the bark apart to help the rotting process. Nicely done Lee especially with that perspective which compliments the directional lines formed by the fungi. :clap:

sirch · 19 Dec 2015

Like the fungus living on the dead tree, well captured

Dark Knight · 20 Dec 2015

Agree, kit nicely pic nicely done, on theme and real good with the iso !!!

Living - really liking this, the detail is real nice when viewed big on flickr, the wobbly lines look very defined - like the PoV too

posiview · 21 Dec 2015

Hi, D750 has amazing high ISO performance. Organised is on theme, I'd have gone for a different composition rather than the 'product shot' arrangement. None the less.

Living, a superb connection there :clap:

again, and I suspect it's just me, but I'd have gone in closer, maybe loosing some of the tree :thinking:

Cheers.
