Weekly -Oy-'s weekly 52 theme thingie for 2021: Week 8 : Halves

SteveSc · Feb 18, 2021

Nicely done, like the matching tones in the image.

Just seen your goldfinch image...that's a stunner for sure,

seaodyssey · Feb 18, 2021

Great photo of the Gold Finches, they are fiesty birds.

The couple look like they are having a pinic, just hope they are not in Derbyshire....

Wow that's a superb goldfinch shot. Your original Pair fits the theme and tech nicely, so you can tick the box anyway, but those birds are just fab!

Nostromo · Feb 20, 2021

Pair
How very accommodating they were for you. 500mm, where were you, in the next county?

Week 7 : Depict a film (and tech)

HIGHLANDER

Fuji Dave · Feb 20, 2021

What a cracking shot Dave, love the bit of straw and great for the tech too.

rpn · Feb 20, 2021

That's a lovely shot of a Highland Coo. The framing is tight but loves the cool expression and looks as though a cigarette is hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Thanks - yeah it's tight. Fills the frame

Shooting at 500mm I almost didn;t get him all in!

HelenC · Feb 21, 2021

Perfectly framed and balanced shot. He's great - looks really cool! Another one guessed at first sight

FlyPhot · Feb 21, 2021

Lovely image, plenty of character in there. Great use of the subject to depict the film too, nice work.

They took a bit of finding but I ended up with half a dozen shots I'm happy with

CliveH · Feb 21, 2021

Great shot for Highlander spot on!

d00d · Feb 21, 2021

Ha! love the grey hairs around the nose. And is that a tongue!

Bebop · Feb 21, 2021

Fabulous shot - I can't believe I didn't get the film when I first saw it. I'm so bad at this! It's perfect to depict the film and a handsome beast.

Nostromo · Feb 22, 2021

Film
Great shot. I love Highland cows.
You've filled the frame nicely, the colours and tones all complement each other and we'll it's a Highland cow.

Clever and well shot. Were there any other Cows or can there be only one?

Thanks - there were three - but only ONE took my fancy

Great portrait, and a beautiful animal. The colours in the coat are lovely.

Week 8 : Halves

A photo of two halves on t'cut at the weekend. iPhone 12 Pro Max amazing as ever!

This is the Douglas Valley just outside Wigan where the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, River Douglas, M6 Motorway and Southport to Manchester railway all cross.

Fuji Dave · Wednesday at 10:03 AM

Cracking reflection Dave and bang on very nicely, I only have the Pro 12 but love the camera on it and find it amazing how good phones have come on with the cameras.

susiejb · Wednesday at 3:48 PM

That’s a super photo, I love the curve of the path, the clear blue sky, the reflection, it’s just perfect for the theme.

Great reflection, it's amazing what a mobile phone can produce when you think of the sensor size. Taken a second later might have got the lorry in the open space

I got the lorry all the way across but didn;t want it to dominate. If it had been a big red Royal Mail one I may have let it take more of a role

Nostromo · Wednesday at 9:10 PM

Half
It looks like a lovely day.
It's well composed, the reflection is really strong.

Harlequin565 · Wednesday at 10:57 PM

The stillness of the canal, the light of the day, and your chosen composition have all worked well to compliment each other here. I think it works really well.

ShinySideUp · Thursday at 12:07 AM

I have nothing to add that hasn't already been said so...good entry, very nice and I like it. Printed on an A3 printer it might make a nice framed print.

FlyPhot · Thursday at 8:55 AM

Nothing much more to add than has already been said - I do like a nice reflection image, and this one is, indeed, very nice!

What a fabulous, still, sunny day. Lovely reflection and all nicely captured

Stonking reflection, nice find, nice shot.

Thanks - it was a tranquil hour just before sunset! I got a set of lovely golden light pix shortly afterwards!
