weekly Thirsty's TP 52 challenge for 2016 - Week 52 Celebration

[susiejb]

Hi Nigel .... I like the new Metal shot of the row of sockets, very nicely done.

Spot on with the rabbit ....he's definitely saying 'let me out'.

 

[rpn]

Oh poor bunny, feel sorry for him/her being captive(d) and going nowhere.

 

[purplepleaser]

Nigel, great image for the captive theme, poor rabbit nice colours

 

[posiview]

Captive, a quick cleanup up, ie the ball would remove a distraction, but a decent submission.

Cheers.

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

hello and welcome to the challenge, looking forward to seeing what else you have to offer.

 

[cargo]

I too prefer the sockets on here own. Captive spot on for the title.

Gaz

 

[Carl Ayling]

Spot on Nigel - at least he has a ball to keep him occupied during his stretch behind bars.

 

[SteveSc]

Poor bunny, looks so sad. Nice entry for the theme

 

[Jon.P.73]

Nice interpretation and capture (and a cute bunny!)

 

[Minx]

I like all your shots.
For metal the cropped one of the sockets is the one I prefer

Captive, a quick cleanup up, ie the ball would remove a distraction, but a decent submission.

Cheers.

I thought that to Andy, I did have a go and trying to remove the ball but with little success , need to improve my light room and Photoshop skills.

Week 3 Miniature-oreo's

w-Miniature-oreos by Nigel Proctor, on Flickr

 

[LC2]

Nice sharp subject. Good use of DoF to blur the background a bit, but still have it give a sense of proportion.

 

[Carl Ayling]

Agree totally with @LC2 - great focus and love the DoF. (Of course I love working with edible props and especially clearing away after the shot )

 

[susiejb]

I agree with Carl ... It's great when you can eat the props. Perfect idea for the theme, the background on the left is a bit distracting, but smashing dof and focus on the biscuits.

 

[Cobra]

Great use of DoF
And you even managed to get mini in the shot too

 

[thirsty_camel]

Thanks for the comments all, was nice to have a packet once I was done

Great use of DoF
And you even managed to get mini in the shot too

Thanks, That was the plan Cobra

 

[Minx]

always nice to eat the props I like the idea of the picture

 

[Emja]

Nice shot - love the depth of field, but how you've still kept the writing on the box prominent, and the colours fresh.

 

[nickbee]

This is great - when you open up the image your eye is immediately drawn to the bright colours on the box, then moves down across the packet and the Oreos within to that sole biscuit in all its tasty focus. It's like telling the story of eating it. Alternatively that might just be sleep deprivation on my part, but we'll go with storytelling.

 

[brrnd]

Great focus and DoF, and like Carl and Susie I totally approve of edible props

 

[SteveSc]

Perfect focus and DOF in that shot and nice and colourful as well.

 

[Winter]

Tasty photo! I love how the Oreos spill out of the packet and nice DoF!

 

[Longimanus]

As per all the comments above, dof nailed! Like it!

 

[Bruja]

Great interpretation for Miniature, and I too am a supporter of the 'eat the props' movement. In fact, one year I had to eat a whole chocolate gateaux

Good use of dof and my only little quibble is the crumbs on the bottom rhs.

Thanks Bruja, out of interest what's the issue with the crumbs ?

 

[posiview]

Nice detail in the FG Oreos. I'd like it a little less cluttered on the RHS and in the background.

Cheers.

 

[purplepleaser]

Perfect focus and DOF, bet they did not last very long, haha

 

[Jon.P.73]

great DOF and like the "mini" text being in the image too !

 

[Dark Knight]

Hi Nigel

Sorry a bit behind on your thread, so a quick catch up...

Old - Very nice, really liking your point of view/composition with the converging roofline and pavement/pots, the B&W really helps to for me

Metal - The first one for me, plain, simple but really effective

Captive - Awweeee bless how it's looking and with it's face squished on the bars

Miniature - Real good this one, just enough DoF to keep the 'mini' readable, with the nice sharp Oreo in the foreground, nice one

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

Miniature - I do love them especially dunked in a cup of milk, lovely idea for the theme.

[Dark Knight]

MMmm nice cake, wonky candle but liking the colours & mottled background, I could eat that right now

Abandoned - Ha Haaa how odd is that, well spotted

Thanks DK, I know what you mean about the wonky candle, didnt spot that until I had eaten the prop....

 

[Richard Miller]

Abandoned - great shot! Looks like he is reaching out to you - makes the image work very well!

 

[greenoak]

Abandoned Great spot.

The hanging item is the most interesting aspect of the image, but takes a while to spot him. Maybe a crop of him and the metalwork in colour might be interesting.

 

[viv1969]

Miniature and Happy....both yummy subjects and executed well (except the wonky candle )

Abandoned. A rather sad feeling image. Perfect for the theme.

 

[posiview]

Abandoned, well spotted and I like the B&W conversion. Might have been tempted to lift the shadows on the whateveritis

Cheers.

I remember this from a ride I did down the Canal from home to London a couple of years ago, surprised its still there! Thanks for the memory.
