Here we go with Week 1

Sunrise from the car park at work. First day back

 

[Fuji Dave]

Nice sunrise shot Dave even liking the bit of flare too.

 

[LC2]

Loving the starburst. You must have waited a while to get that just at the right moment.
Good job it wasn't cloudy (for once).
I also like how the colour is reflected in the office block opposite and I can't see any steam anywhere !!!

Thanks Dave - flare is a cool thing

Cheers Tim. The West Coast Main Line is in this shot as it passes pipes frm the old gasworks, so you do get steam from here

Lovely shot and exposure there Dave, I like that very much. Great start

 

[weebleswobble]

Great shot with flare, and warm glow on building opposite to balance it out

 

[Manxmaid]

I echo Donna's comments - the stand-out features are the starburst and the light on the building and they balance perfectly.

 

[Cloudforest]

Lovely shot Dave. I like the light and the starburst. Almost makes up for having to go back to work!

 

[BobBCN]

Nice kick off to your challenge. As others have mentioned, the starburst makes the shot!!

Thanks - could be a Sunburst. But I guess the Sun IS a star

Nice light sparkle Dave, going back to work isnt fun is it!

 

[GarethB]

That is a great image Dave!!
The light is perfect on the RH building, and I really like the sun/starburst too.
Nice flare too...adds a nice touch of...flair!

 

[minx]

I like the star burst lovely glow to the sky too.

 

[Nostromo]

I suppose if there's anything good about going back to work after a break, then getting a short for the theme was it.
It's a good sun up shot, with a nice starburst.

 

[Daysleeper40]

Just goes to show it might be worth working after all... well done for getting an interesting shot from your everyday perspective.

 

[Downton Mini]

Really like your take on Local Interest Dave lovely sunrise with a great star burst. I really like the view form up high.

Cheers - it wasn't planned. I got out of the car and thought.. "Oooooooh that'll do it "

Not a location I would have chosen but hey ho - it worked

Week 2 : Pleasure

I like a wee dram I do

Slàinte!

 

[Baloo]

Love it...................................................................................................................................... and the pictures not bad either!

 

[Fuji Dave]

What a lovely pleasure shot Dave and tasty too, great colours.

 

[LC2]

Warm colours of the table and Whisky contrast nicely with the blue of the background.
My only question would be would it be worth straightening the verticals?

Ta - no I like a slight converging vertical when looking up at a subject. It's how our eyes work

Fair enough Artistic choice.

 

[HelenC]

Tasty image... Like the Highland theme

 

[Shugpug]

Nice little collection!

 

[Cloudforest]

Lovely colourful shot and fits the theme for me.
I do like an Islay malt.

Thanks - only one Highland whisky there though.

Nice little collection!

Cheers - I’m working on making it smaller

Lovely colourful shot and fits the theme for me.
I do like an Islay malt.

Thanks - me too! I like quite a few that aren’t - but I always come back to the smokey peaty stuff

 

[Leebert]

Hi Dave,

Nice shot to kick off your 52 and it looks like a nice start for the first day back to work. Loving the rays and the nice warm colour.
Good shot for pleasure too. I am rather partial too but favour a little something from Speyside usually. Dalwhinnie being very much a favourite

Thanks. Dalwhinnie is a Highland - in fact the highest! Not opened that one yet!

I like all regions but always drift back to Islay

 

[Cobra]

Nicely presented Dave

But I never understood the fascination for the stuff TBH.
Yes I have tried a few, inc. Some very expensive ones, they all the same to me,
one step up from Diesel

Ta!

How much diesel did you try for the comparrison?

 

[Cobra]

How much diesel did you try for the comparrison?

Quite a bit to get rid of the taste

 

[CliveH]

Nice composition I like the well lit Lagavulin...a lot.

 

[weebleswobble]

Great image and love the colours

 

[BobBCN]

A lot of pleasure in them there bottles!!!

 

[GarethB]

Really terrific image Dave!
Wonderful, warm colours compliment the wonderful, warm subject!
Though I have to say, I'm with @Cobra in that I've never really understood the whole 'whiskey' thing!
That said, it's a smashing image, and a fine fit for the theme!

 

[minx]

Like @Cobra don't like the stuff myself but each to their own, it brings you pleasure so it works.
