Good takes - them buckits are breeding!
Thanks guys, I think buckets are looking for somewhere to hibernate.Autumn is a cracking shot, lovely and colourful. Blue bucket fetish strikes again, I like the hollow caves the most.
More buckets, the new trains it would seem
Thanks both, I went out to shoot the cave but saw the tree and thought it was quite good.Ooh, I really like your Autumn image! There still seems to be a lot of green around here at the moment so maybe we're running late with the full Autumnal colours, but yours is spot on with the rolling hills, yellowing leaves and grasses, and of course the brooding sky. Spot on!
Either image would be fine for Hollow, but you know the winner has to be the "obvious" hollow in the tree with the very un-obvious stack of blue buckets. Good colours in the moss and the dead leaves, which sets off the blue very nicely
Thanks Stan, the colours in the Highlands were lovely this year.Love the Autumn shot, very Scottish Highland scenic.
I prefer the cave hollow shot and those buckets get everywhere now.
Thanks Dominic, I'm busy herding the buckets into winter pastures so they shouldn't be a problemAutumn
There's a nice contrast between the bright foreground and dark sky. I also like the layering effect of yellow, brown and dark grey.
Hollow
Them buckets get everywhere, they're becoming more of a problem than plastic pollution.
I prefer the cave photo.
Thanks Tim, I do agree about the autumn shot, I was away in the highlands with the F&C crowd from here and it was just a bit of grab shot to get something in for the week. I did shoot a blue boat (as in blue vessel) against some autumn trees but it wasn't worth publishing.Hi Chris.
Autumn - No blue buckets, I'm disappointed. Good colour matching. well taken, but somehow it doesn't have the impact that many of your shots do.
Hollow - Good to see the buckets back. I'm not going with the flow here, I prefer the tree shot. I think because the greens are bright along with the buckets.
I was going for model train (City of London) engine shot too but like you the tender is missing and I just can't find it anywhere. The mono works well and the model buildings add interest to the shot.
I thought about one of my model trains or cars, but changed my mind. A good image well taken and it looks great in the grainy mono.
Chris
Autumn, lots of lovely golden colours all together. Nice bold sky.
Hollow, two more blue bucket shots, of which I prefer the tree due to the green moss on the bark.
Model, That must have taken some fiddling (or twiddling) to get the model all in focus.
How old was that HP5, I assume you keep it in the fridge. Good job. How do you get that size negative as a positive, back in the day my 35mm film when into an enlarger.
Pete
The Princess looking good despite no coal supply!
Thanks, yes I normally clone out the dust in LR and should have done here but I was obviously going a bit cross-eyed on Sunday because it didn't seem too bad after I'd scanned it but looking at it again it does need some work.I do like the 5x4s you have put in previously, the bin and camera, this is no exception, do you normally clean up the negatives I can see some dust and scratches on this one
Thanks DominicModel
Choo chooooo
Black and white works well, the dark train against the light bg.
Thanks Tim, I wonder if the "Princess Elizabeth" was ever renamed after her coronation? I suppose the "modern" term for it is tilt-shift. With some view cameras, including the MPP, you can tilt and swing (vertical and horizontal rotations) both the lens plane and the film plane making it possible to change the angle of the plane of focus so that subjects that are not normal to the camera axis can be kept in focus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheimpflug_principleChris, what does "The use of movements in the camera" mean? It's not a term I've come across before, but whatever it is, I like how it allows you to keep the whole model in focus.
I love the pizza cutter wheels on the train. It really dates it. They don't make them like that anymore!!!
I can answer that bit.I wonder if the "Princess Elizabeth" was ever renamed after her coronation?
Corner
Yup, I think it's pretty self explanatory.
The socket and plug do give a bit of a sense of scale.
Certainly fits the CURRENT theme
Thanks all, BTW @-Oy- ... GroanStraight to the point, can’t argue with that
Groan but he is rightCertainly fits the CURRENT theme
Too the point and on theme.
Chris
Corner, very clean, no hairs which is good. Image does not look straight due to the perspective (but is)
Pete
On theme Chris
Verticals seem vertical. Er, not sure what else to say.
