weekly NCF15 52 for 2024 Week 21 Weather

[-Oy-]

Fab shot and yes - much better with the boat

 

[AlanDorset]

Lots to see in this, nice. With a bright blue sky that would be dramatic but you can‘t pick the weather

 

[BobBCN]

Nice shot, busy steelworks with the slow moving boat adding a touch of contrast.

Week 18 Straight
In case anyone is concerned this was taken from a public footpath crossing a quiet suburban railway with the only train having just passed and stopped at a station behind me.

 

[Boots]

Well spotted and taken. Nice processing to retain detail in the sky

 

[-Oy-]

Yep - that works and was on my list as I live near a level crossing

 

[BobBCN]

I had this idea in mind, too. Great colours in there. Nice work.

 

[seaodyssey]

Very Straight, box well ticked on the theme.

 

[HelenC]

Structure: Good shot. I like the high key element with the white sky.. has an ethereal feel.
Straight: again, has an moody element. Great pov.

Week 19 Bent & minimalist tech

 

[-Oy-]

Bent - TICK!

Minimalist - TICK!

I wouldn't want it on my wall though

 

[AlanDorset]

Yup, that ticks the boxes. Has a certain patina!

 

[Simonbrown16]

Straight and bent works really well, I don't quite know how to describe it but I like the colour palate of the straight picture.

 

[BobBCN]

Bent and minimal and very War of the Worlds! Original, not remake.

 

[HelenC]

Fits both bills nicely. I like the graduation in the cloud. Well spotted.

 

[Kell]

Straight - nice idea, well executed. The processing helps give it a bit of earthiness.

I think the Bent image might have benefitted from being B&W.

 

[cptnm]

Straight is a great pic & agree about the good editing for the sky and colours
Bent works really well - I'd have cropped it a tiny bit more to get rid of the leaves at the bottom possibly, but they don't really distract at all as they are

Week 20 Arches
Another Bridge. Phone photo whilst cycling so not the best quality.

Couple more bridges from the same ride which weren't as arch like.

[HelenC]

Multi-tasking at its best . Well done.

 

[nog]

Nice bridges and weather for the bike.

 

[Boots]

Your chosen one is certainly the only "archy" one, but some nice bridges. I do love the Transporter Bridge - not seen it in real life though yet.

 

[-Oy-]

Good stuff

 

[BobBCN]

Yep, the chosen one's the best. The wide view point and the interesting sky make it stand apart.

Week 21 Weather
Sunspots are akin to solar weather and certainly influence space 'weather' so I thought this would do. Taken with a 300mm + x2 & solar filter.

[-Oy-]

Oh aye that works a treat that does

 

[Boots]

An original take on the theme

 

[nog]

Great idea

 

[HelenC]

Agreed, an interesting and different take on the theme.

 

[SimonH]

Ooh that's nice!

 

[BobBCN]

Very nicely done and certainly an original take.

 

[AlanDorset]

It’s a very odd image, I’m still not sure what to make of it even having come back to it a couple of times, but good for theme though and a fascinating take on it. Special type of filter?
