Well, I made it to week 36 of my 7th year on the trot, but decided to call it a day.
My comments have been severely lacking as has my ooomph for the 52 recently.
I really appreciate all your comments and support over the years and will pop back in now and again.
Good luck all and I might see you again in a few year
Cheers.
Not you too Andy, really sorry to hear that, IMHO your comments were some of the most valuable and you posted some great and memorable images
Just put a message on, but thank you for the comments on my 52, and I wish you all the best
Sorry to hear you're leaving Andy, I've really enjoyed your pictures.
Hi Andy, a big thank you for your input throughout the years, it has been great to follow your threads. Will look out for your future postings,
Damn... now that is a shame !!!
I have been guessing this was on the way with your more frequent camping trips it must be hard to come up with ideas when in the middle of nowhere...
You will surly be missed in the 52
Oh... and see you next month
OMG ... it's like my world is falling apart ... first Allan now you ... all within the week.
hasta la vista baby
Not you too Andy, we've been on this journey for many years including the 12 ETC in 2013. Good luck and hope to see you around soon.
Really sorry you've dropped out, Andy. I have enjoyed your images but also your comments on my threads, which have always been constructive and helpful. Hope to see you back next year, if your break from the 52 leaves you feeling refreshed.
WOW, you guys are awesome.
Without being overly sentimental, I'm already missing the 52
Cheers.
Hi Andy,
Occupation - Not sure on this one Andy. It certainly places the chap in his working environment, but I don't feel that the lady in the foreground adds anything.
You - I did chuckle. I especially like that you've two different expressions captured there and also the way you've illustrated Rembrandt lighting.
Sorry to see you dropping out Andy, the comments and suggestions from you and Allan over the past few years have really helped me up my game and spurred me on.
Hope to see you back when you've recharged.
Maybe pop a few images in now and then, it would be good to see how you're getting on with the new Olympus.
OK, you win the most-arches-in-a-single-photo competition . Fantastic building for the theme and well captured with good light and details in both photos, can't help but think the first either needs to be central or more off-centre TBH.
Great to see you back in the game
Glad your back Andy, and with two very good shots for arch. My pick has got to be the #2 the letter box crop really does enhance the shot for the viewer, like all the arches in view plus the two stair cases, a cracker of a shot it is
Welcome back, good to see you here again, Andy. I know you can't stay away for too long.
Two beautiful shots for Arch, love both of them. Never been but would like to visit one day. Prefer to see the shots more symmetry but still fantastic shots. How did you manage to exclude any people in the shots? Very early or very late?
Great to see you back in Andy
A cracking pair of images, I really like the second image, but prefer the sort of abstract look of the first one, the fact that the majority of arches are low in the frame but with the ever increasing arches fanning out from there, loooove it
Good to see a regular back on the horse Andy, love both shot above.Thats a great building.
When I saw it on the post-your-images thread I was wondering if you had photoshopped the moon in but reading the description I guess it is part of the event. It's well capatured with good exposure and is the pick of the two for me. The second is nicely exposed but feels like it might be suffering from a bit of distortion? Although MFT lenses come with inbuilt correction so it should be OK.
I googled this Corn Exchange ... interesting history and preservation. Really like both your contrasting compositions.
And Leeds Light Night ... good interesting stuff for Display. But yes #2 is a bit wonky.
My choice is the #2 display as good lighting and colours even if it needs straightening
You're back ...that's good to see Andy, it seems very strange when a long term poster disappears so I'm glad you had a change of mind
That's a fabulous ceiling for curve it looks absolutely wonderful, what a work of art, I love it.
I think probably #2 for Display ..it just has the edge with it's bright eye catching design and colour.
I like #2, nice colours and patterns. Pity the street light is just very slight off-centre.
Hi Andy, good to see you back What a fantastic looking building for Arches. The ceiling is beautiful and thanks for adding the bigger picture too. I too thought there was some weird photoshopping going on in the moon shot but obviously not. Nice sharp night shot and it works well for the theme
1st display shot is fabulous, great job, glad to see you still involved Andy....
Welcome back Andy. First display for me too; the moon really does look suspended and the contrast with the warmer lights in the buildings works well for me.
Display - the moon for me - still puzzled how they did that. The projection on the building must have been fun to work out exposure and does have a bit of pincushioning but not that distracting.
Andy love your 2nd arches shot, so much to look at and bang on theme, I feel your pain on trying to stay up to date
Both arch shots work, what a fantastic building.
The light festival looks interesting is it all confined to one are or spread around the city. The moon pic is quite fascinating.
