weekly rpn's 2016 Project 52 - Week 52 CELEBRATE Added (Complete)

[LC2]

Liquid - Having seen your reply to @sirch, I think you nailed what you set out to achieve.
Nicely done.
Cracked - Certainly fits the theme, B&W works. Is this one where stacking would help keep it all in sharp focus?

 

[rpn]

Using the apartment's lift as prop with the help of Mrs rpn. Wonder what the neighbours would think if they come this scene?


Week 44 - Spooky

[Dark Knight]

Hahaaaaa that would scare anybody not expecting it mate

 

[Carl Ayling]

Imagine that coming at you unexpectedly - I'd be spooked for sure. Nicely lit.

 

[Allan.H]

I never believed in ghosts till I saw this , excellent

 

[sirch]

Good idea, well lit and captured and Mrs Rpn is a good sport

 

[d00d]

... that's spooky. Nice idea to use the lift, like old fashioned ghost in sci-fi setting.

 

[Cobra]

LOL good idea Stan, very hammer house of horror.

 

[rpn]

Thanks all. I was toying with colour or b&w and can't decide which one is more apt for the theme? This colour version or the Black and White in my OP.

[Cobra]

I quite like the "metallics" and the stronger light in the second

 

[rpn]

Thanks Chris. I under exposed the shot deliberately and pushed the vibrance to the maximum to achieve the eerie and creepy feels.

 

[rpn]

Came across this path during a morning walk and thought it may suit the theme.

Week 44 - Reshoot Cracked

Week 44 Cracked Reshoot 15431 by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Cobra]

Yep, you cracked it Stan

Well spotted and captured.

 

[rpn]

Cheers Chris.

 

[susiejb]

well done to mrs rpn it really made me smile ...a smashing fun Spooky photo Stan.

Cracked ...certainly spot on for the theme.

 

[sirch]

Cracked is a good find, the sharp details in the bottom half of the shot really bring out the cracks.

 

[brrnd]

I prefer the colour version of Spooky, great idea and really spooky for anyone not expecting to see this.

Cracked is a great find and well captured

 

[Carl Ayling]

Like the fact that the cracks have a dual role as primary subject and as a lead-in to the vanishing point of the path. Good find Stan and excellent compo.

 

[LC2]

Hi Stan
Haha, that made me chuckle. The B&W image for sure. It's darker and the fade to black at the bottom makes Mrs rpn float.
Cracked Re-Shoot - On theme, so a good find.

 

[rpn]

Last one from Cyprus for this year. Heading back to a cold and wet Scotland on Wednesday.

Not sure what this statue is about but came across it this afternoon during a walking along the seafront.

Week 45 - Pose

[Cobra]

Heading back to a cold and wet Scotland on Wednesday.

Last I heard it was snowing up there don't be in too much of a rush to come home Stan

That's an interesting statue, nice PoV too

 

[Dark Knight]

Damn now that is unusual, I bet there have been a few shots of somebody up behind that one, or is that just my smutty mind

WET is an understatement at the minute Stan, enjoy your last few days

 

[Carl Ayling]

Very unusual ... wonder what it's meant to portray ... washed up by the sea? Nicely taken Stan with all the details and colours retained in the sky. (Scotland = Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!)

 

[Cobra]

or is that just my smutty mind

Yeah just you Dean it never crossed my mind

 

[Allan.H]

A very unusual statue, works well it must mean something I wonder what

 

[posiview]

I can imagine that working really well after dark with a bit of light painting

Unusual sculpture and light isn't too bad either.

Cheers.

 

[susiejb]

Nice find Stan ..... I couldn't resist Googling it, apparently it's to do with Paphos and the City of Culture 2017, it looks as if there are some fabulous sculptures along the seafront.

 

[Hertsman]

Nice image with a great sky, I like it.

 

[sirch]

Good find for the theme Stan, intriguing statue

 

[d00d]

An alternative look at Cyprus ... badly cracked road and most unusual statue. Thanks.

 

[thirsty_camel]

Well seen Stan , bang on theme and well captured like the DOF.

 

[LC2]

Chuckle at @Dark Knight's comment, I was thinking something very similar myself.
Nice use of DoF to lose the distractions in the background, yet you've still managed to retain interest in the sky.

 

[Emja]

Cracked is well spotted Stan - they work so well as leading lines. Interesting staue, too with good pov and depth of field.
Spooky made me laugh out loud - Mrs rpn is a star! The colour version works best for me I think.

 

[rpn]

Cheers everyone for the comments and kind words apologise for not able to reply and thanking individually and lack of commenting on others. Trying to catch up with the UK life now I'm back in the cold and wet Scotland.

 

[rpn]

READ ALL ABOUT IT.

This guy been standing outside my local newsagent everyday for years and as far as I can remember. Not entirely happy with the reflection on the board due to the low sun. I could've took a couple of step to my left to avoid it but would've ended up with the other sandwich board being too distracting. Also there was a drunk, yes that early, sitting on the steps of the doorway behind!

Week 46 - NEWS

Week 46 News by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Allan.H]

Not seen one of them for years, seems to be a non news day, nice find

 

[rpn]

Cheers Allan.

As the saying goes "No News is Good News"

 

[Cobra]

Nice find Stan, fits the theme perfectly

 

[rpn]

Thanks Chris.

 

[Dark Knight]

Difficult theme this week Stan, like what you found, fits in well
