weekly rpn's 2017 Project 52 - Week 52 WEATHER Added *** COMPLETED ***

[rpn]

Trying to come up with something remotely original or even different is quite hard for this week's theme. After many attempts at various ideas and subjects I ended up with another first for me; Light Painting.


Week 30 - Vehicle

Light Mini by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Fuji Dave]

Cracking shot of the mini Stan, love the lot of it.

Cracking shot of the mini Stan, love the lot of it.

Cheers, Dave. You're always one of the first to comment here.

When I post-process the shot this morning I wish I had some light under the car body too. But happy enough with first go.

That's a smasher, Stan. You wouldn't know you were trying this for the first time as it's very polished and effective. I really like the light outline around the top edges of the Mini

 

[Allan.H]

really nice bit of rim lighting as you say some light under the body might have been good but doesn't take anything away from the image, you have done a good job with the light painting

Thanks, Andrea. A lot of wasted shots too.

Hi Stan ...I'm on catch up, I've had a good look through, loving your Agriculture, and your Graceful too, you've really captured the weightless feel in those seagull shots, they're really are as light as a feather even though they're quite large.
Smashing idea for Vehicle I think you've done a great job, a real eye catching shot.
Oops forgot say Pacman is a brilliant idea

 

[Emja]

Wow...that's a really classy shot Stan - superb job

 

[d00d]

Classy shot indeed, another first rate projection of your beloved Mini.

 

[Nostromo]

That's a good looking photo, just enough light to see the colour of the car and a nice rim type light to separate it from the background

 

[Hertsman]

I love a bit of OCF, and I think thats a great job well done.

 

[Dark Knight]

Done a good job of that Stan, a nice pretty clear background and setting, and really like the halo of light around it, good job

Thanks, Mark. No flash was used, it was a torch I used to light the car.

A bit later than my normal submission time of Sunday/Monday but still in time, just. I've done this 'Jigsaw Puzzle' technique before also here in 2013 Effect, Technique and Creative (E.T.C.) Project in 2013. The photo itself was taken last night.

Week 31 - (Last) Piece

Week 31 Piece by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Fuji Dave]

Like it Stan, one piece to be put in, and a lovely looking jigsaw too.

 

[sirch]

It's a lovely sunset photo and a good take on the theme but somehow the jigsaw effect looks like it is raised rather than embossed, if you see what I mean.

 

[Dark Knight]

Now that I love, and the fact it is a photo you took too is the icing on the cake, nice one Stan

 

[Allan.H]

Great colours in the sunset but not keen on the jigsaw effect

Thanks, Chris. Agree with the jigsaw effect but that's a PS 'built-in' Filter.

Here's the actual photo, it was taken last night. A lovely summer evening sunset with a beautiful red sky.

Fantastic idea Stan. I must go look that up! Great sunset photo too

Thanks, John. Loads of 'How To's' in YouTube.

 

[Emja]

The jigsaw effect was a fun idea for the theme but I'm so happy you put up the original shot - what a beautiful sunset with the colours bathing the grass and reflected in the water.

 

[d00d]

The jigsaw effect is cleverly different idea.

 

[Shirleyr]

Nothing negative only praise deserved, great idea.

 

[susiejb]

What a great idea Stan ...absolutely perfect for the theme, and a perfectly placed missing piece too

 

[rpn]

Like most major cities in the UK new modern steel framed/glass panel buildings are going up right next to old traditional stone built houses or offices next to residential homes. This I found quite opposite and contrasting.


Week 32 - Contrast

Old New Contrast by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Fuji Dave]

I do love all old buildings a shame really that things change. I like how you have the old house against the new contrasting colourful new building, like the moss in the gutter too

 

[rpn]

Thanks, Dave. It is the bright colour cladding contrasting against the dull stonework that caught my attention initially.

 

[sirch]

Great find for the theme, love the contrast between the two buildings, even down to the moss/grass on the corner of the old building.

Hi Stan,

Fruit - Clever using the light-box as the background. Well executed, excellent details. Nice.
But Pac-Fruit... That takes it to another level. I love that one
Vehicle - Cool choice going lo-key with edge highlights. Works well.
Piece - I didn't originally realise that the jig-saw was an effect, very clever. I really like the original shot, fantastic colours and a good mix of urban and open land.
Contrast - A bit of a contrast between the plastic windows in the old house and the building itself too. I like how the blue cladding could almost be seen as skyline. (I wonder how long the cladding will remain).

Thank, Chris. The building is showing its age too comparing to the new one in the background.

[Allan.H]

Really well spotted the angle of Both buildings works in a strange way kind of emphasises the huge contrast in them

 

[granddad john]

for all the above Stan. Great reflections in the windows too. Well spotted.

 

[Emja]

I love this Stan - absolutely perfect for the theme. I especially like the contrast between the natural colours and the glossy blue of the new building.

Thanks, Allan and John. I use to work just round the corner.

 

[Hertsman]

Great spot and ideal for the theme, I like that.
