Beautiful, and has a slightly surreal tone to it that made me think it was infrared at first glance.

Stan I absolutely love it and I want to be there

I could happily live with that photo on my wall, definitely my absolute favorite of the week, you've captured nature at its absolute best.

Nostromo · Feb 5, 2019

Cold
What I lovely serene looking scene. That low sun light is just right.

-Oy- · Feb 5, 2019

Lovely snowscape.

jono2002 · Feb 5, 2019

Great scene, good thick layer of snow with a warm glow of the sun. I might of been tempted to have someone walk down the path to create some foot prints & them standing in the distance?

Manxmaid · Feb 7, 2019

This is possibly my favourite for the theme so far, Stan. Such a lovely wintery scene that leads your eye through the trees, beautiful early light, and very well done to get out before the path was covered in footprints.

LC2 · Feb 8, 2019

Interesting golden hue to the snow Stan. One usually associates the goldern hour with the evening, but I guess it must occur in the morning too (too early for me).
It says cold, but warming up to me.

A bit late this week, although this shot was taken a few days ago I was hoping to shoot another one but the opportunity wasn't there. This is one of those PABD submissions. This shot is totally out of my comfort zone - taking photos of strangers in public place is not my idea of photography.

Week 06 - Waiting

Waiting by Stan, on Flickr

LC2 · Wednesday at 10:03 PM

Judging by her appearance, she won't have noticed you, she's hunched over her phone.
Keep working on your street, it gets easier.

rpn · Wednesday at 10:09 PM

LC2 said:

Thanks, Tim for the encouragement. For some reasons, I feel more comfortable taking street photography when I'm overseas or in a different city.

Allan.H · Wednesday at 10:49 PM

Not a fan of street myself either there’s the odd exception of course.
I think the waiting figures a bit lost in this, but it is on theme and well done for trying

rpn · Wednesday at 11:27 PM

Allan.H said:

Thanks, Allan. Agree she is lost in the shot, just too much going on and your eyes just keep wondering from subject to subject. That's what I'm hesitant to post the shot until the last minute.

BobBCN · Thursday at 8:00 AM

I have the same issues with street photography. It all seems a bit cloak and dagger! But anyway, your shot is on theme. I thought it was the parked cars that were waiting for their "commuter owners" to come back at first.

rpn · Thursday at 10:31 AM

BobBCN said:

Thanks, Bob. That would be an easier option, any supermarket car park would do. Yes, the waiting lady is a bit lost in the image.

Dave70D · Thursday at 7:31 PM

A PABD shot but you got one in for the theme Stan, yes it might be a bit messy but as you say you don`t really do people shots so well done.

rpn · Thursday at 10:11 PM

Thanks, Dave.

GarethB · Friday at 12:17 AM

Nice shot and fits the theme well Stan.
It's well composed with good use of diagonals, and lots of detail.
Nicely done.

chrispp · Saturday at 4:28 PM

Nice shot Stan, I always use a telephoto for street photography due to the same reasons. I do find that the majority of people are fine but you do get to know if there not happy !

Manxmaid · 2019-02-17T00:04:09+0000

Well done for going out and getting the image, Stan, especially when outside your comfort zone. I like the way her red hat is echoed in the colours of the cars along the rear of the platform and the warm tones on the side of the platform.

HeartandSoul · 2019-02-17T10:27:47+0000

At least you didn't get rumbled taking her photo unlike me. I know exactly what you mean about taking photos of strangers. When i zoomed in on flick she looks to be very deep in thought.

GarethB said:

Thanks, Gareth.

chrispp said:

Thanks, Chris. I'm the same as you using a 70-200mm zoom lens for that shot and stand in a quiet corner away from the crowd too.

rpn · 2019-02-17T19:25:43+0000

Manxmaid said:

Thanks, Andrea.

HeartandSoul said:

Thanks, Mandy. One of the reasons I've been doing this 52 for many years is to challenge myself to go outside my comfort zone and also trying a different photographic genre.

rpn · 2019-02-17T20:11:02+0000

The first idea that came to my mind when the theme was posted. I took this shot quite late this afternoon to make sure I don't interfere with any golfers and luckily there were none on the course at the time probably it was getting cold too. I wanted to include the green and the flag for context and lucky for me the clubhouse comes along too. Just a pity the flag is deep blue colour rather than the usual fluorescent red or orange.

Week 07 - (In The) Rough

Rough by Stan, on Flickr

Dave70D · 2019-02-17T20:21:54+0000

Great shot for rough Stan, a good clear shot of the ball in the rough and like oof 19th in the BG.

rpn · 2019-02-17T20:28:05+0000

Cheers, Dave. I don't play golf but I do know where the 19th hole is!

Turbo-G · 2019-02-17T20:33:02+0000

Nice one Stan! I like the composition, and fits nicely on theme.
Could have only been better if you still had some detail in the highlights of the sky, or if it had been a nice blue sky, sunny day, IMO.

-Oy- · 2019-02-17T20:44:09+0000

Yep - I like that

LINKS in well withthe theme

BobBCN · 2019-02-17T21:06:55+0000

Really a very good shot. I like the composition and the low viewpoint.

rpn · 2019-02-17T21:44:37+0000

Turbo-G said:

Thanks, Grant but the sun didn't make an appearance today.

rpn · 2019-02-17T21:55:42+0000

Thanks, Dave. Pleased you like the shot.

Cheers, Bob. The Fuji X-T2 articulated screen helps a great deal.
