weekly -OY-'s Weekly 52 thingie for 2019 - Week 52 : Out-takes and Year 2 Complete

Great angle Dave!(y)
Good to get the 'low-down' (;)) on the old choo choo too!:giggle:

Cheers Gareth :)

Ah, the SATAN season ;)
Cool shot of the Victorian design and a nice low perspective. Unusual to get that sort of view without a PTS, though I can think of a couple of spots on the Bluebell and GCR where that's do-able.

Thanks Tim :) No PTS required. Shot through the bottom of the fence using the flip out screen on the D850 to save the knees :)
 
Great shot Dave, the angle really emphasises the power of the engine. I love the sheen of the paint and it looks well looked after.

Week 50 : Snapper's Choice (And tech)

Today's work job was "Frost Fest" in the local park. First go with the free L Plate I got this week after buying a nre 3 Legged Thing tripod last month.

I like the word FUN in the middle of the bus :)

That's really cool to have caught 'FUN' like that. Did you plan it or was it just a lucky happenstance ?
Just enough of a long exposure to blur the ride yet keep everyone else sharp. Nicely done :)

Thanks - a lucky shot is always welcome. I took 6 and this one just jumped out :) I did get an angry parent come up and tell me off for photographing her daughter. I told her that it was a public event - and I was the official togger for it. She still wasn’t happy so I showed her the pics on the back of the camera lol. She went off and told hubby that it’s ok all his photos are blurred :)

Cool shot Dave, like the Fun showing up while the blur is bang on and folk in focus.

Thanks Dave - Master of the lucky shot me :)

Great bit of blur,
don’t worry you will soon get the hang of taking some that aren’t so blurred :ROFLMAO:
 
I really like that shot, I'm amazed you got the people sharp with the motion of the ride.

Ta - I’ll get there :)

A steady tripod and 2sec timer is the key :)
 
Very nice shot, great mix of sharp and OOF. :)
 
Terrific image Dave and very inventive!:clap:
My eye goes straight to the 'Fun'...great composition!
Wonderfully colourful and cheerful image!

She went off and told hubby that it’s ok all his photos are blurred

Pfff...philistines!!:D
 
That's a nice shot. Exposure time is perfect – long enough to blur the ride whilst still retaining enough some motion and texture.

Thanks Stan :)
 
Nice shot Dave, looks like Fun was the order of the day apart from Mrs Unhappy, but LOL.

Hehe Dave. Sods law eh?
Still it's better than waiting for a kettle at a station / crossing only to have a modern unit pass in-front at 'the moment'.

Gratz on getting through to the end of the '19-52
 
Good finish to your 52 Dave, sods law a car or van would appear.
Thanks Dave :)

Good ending to your 52 project Dave. Well done (y)
Cheers Lee
