Ornament: Love the puffin and how you have incorporated the sign details above it.
Curves: One cracking shot - lovely dof and beautifully composed.

Thanks Helen :)
 
A great capture! I like the composition, and the detail is great when viewed larger on Flickr.
 
Week 49 : Tools

Tools of The Trade.
When I worked as a Press / PR / Events Photographer before I retired late last year - this was my daily goto setup. Two pro bodies, one with 24-70mm F/2.8 and the other with 70-200mm F/2.8. All that's changed now is I've swapped the D800 for the Z9. Taken today on the East Lancs Railway for a day with the Santa Specials :)

Nicely done and the perfect take for this theme.
 
Oh yes 2 quality Nikon's with 2 pro lenses.
Great tools - perfect for the theme.
 
That's some heavy gear to lug around. I think that I'd rather carry the cuppa instead... :D

Me too Pete. In fact I only recently let my D700 go. I gave it to a young photographer that had fled Ukraine and had to leave all her gear behind!
 
Week 50 : Construction

A wander around Wigan and Warrington yesterday with the 35mm F2 on the X-T4 for the Nifty Fifty thingie. Got me some for this week's theme too ;)

1. Natures Construction

Nice take on the theme in the first image Dave. I like your chosen one the best for a number of reasons. Mono works well, an unusual angle, and some interesting ironwork there too which looks like it's being kept with whatever else is going on there.
 
A couple of nice shots Dave. I like the first one a lot, a good creative take on the theme. I also really like the point of view and the processing for the second.

Thanks Bill :)
 
Great idea for the first one Dave.
The second one is good but the first has it for me.
 
Tools - I didn't even think of that! I like the layout - you'd need a coffee after carting them around. I've done some of that myself - never again for me... well maybe two micro 4/3 bodies :)

Construction - really like the ice crystals, but getting the tech in is understandable - lovely detail and suits the B&W treatment.

Beautifully decorated tree Dave. Our angel is exactly the same one…. And she has gone walkabouts this year :)
Have a good one.

Thanks - she's been with us for about 30 years.
 
Nice tree Dave, not overdone like some you see.

We have the same angle as well, apart from having a red dree and the arms are in a different position :D

Merry Christmas to you Dave.

Pete

Lovely shot Dave, and a very nicely decorated tree. I wish our house was that neat and tidy!

Cheers Simon. All the crap and clutter is behind me :oops: :$
 
Good shot Dave. I like the label saying it's your first retired Christmas. May you have many more to come.
