weekly Thirsty's TP 52 challenge for 2017 - Weeks 43 & 44 Added

[LC2]

Hi Nigel,
Structure - I think you're the second person this year using Kew as a location. As it's on my doorstep, I really ought to get down there and see what's about.
it's a very odd structure, I do think the B&W works for it.

Routine - Nicely captured shot, I like the sharpness of the body contrasting with the motion blur in the wings, and the colours are good too. Truly a shoe-horn, not even sure that @Cobra would have gone that far

not even sure that @Cobra would have gone that far

Hmmm tough call

 

[Emja]

i like the butterfly shot - great colours and the motion blur works well. Very nicely shoehorned too

 

[foggy4ever]

I like the structure in B&W, the bottom right gets a little busy though so maybe concentrate on the outer edge when framing.

Was the wing blur intentional, it adds that little extra to a great shot.

Structure is a nice bee hive shot, like it but don`t think the white bg gives it justice. Routine I do like, good clear sharpish eye and great wing blur gives the shot nice movement while it is on the nice red plant

Hi Dave, to be honest is wasn't a great day to take the shot, play with the W/B made it a better shot than what its was (grey on Grey). Thanks for your nice comment on the butterfly.

Whats the bee hive thing? Not seen that...

Second one, the BF is OOF....

It's a large metal structure that explains how bee communicate and you can sod off about the BF.... .

Oooo liking that structure image Nigel, a very interesting structure indeed

Thanks Dean, tried to get a different perspective of as I've seen a lot taken from underneath.

Yes that is an interesting structure, I've not seen it, but know what it is. This shows detail like I've not seen before.

Shoehorn required to Routine ... but nice result.

Thanks David, tried to get a different type of shot to all the others I had seen and maybe a little show horn required

Thanks Tim, I get there a few times a year and always find plenty to shoot so can recommend it. routine maybe a little stretch but sure @Cobra he appropriated the effort

yeah it does but the structure itself is very busy and wanted to capture that., the wing blur was a lucky shot as it was hand held .

Week 9 Number(s)

[Fuji Dave]

Number, well you do have a number of cables plugged in and like the focus on the 08 so nice one Nigel

 

[Cobra]

but sure @Cobra he appropriated the effort

I never touched it

 

[Hertsman]

Ah, that'll be a work thing then....
Quite like that, but the theme was Numbers - plural - youve only got one in shot.....

Nope it was NUMBER(S) didn't have to be plural

Number, well you do have a number of cables plugged in and like the focus on the 08 so nice one Nigel

Thanks Dave

I never touched it

Damn spell check....

 

[Cobra]

Damn spell check....

 

[Dark Knight]

Liking that too Nigel, great focus on the numbers, and in this case I think the black and white help the numbers stand out

 

[LC2]

Brought to you by the Letters R & J and the Number 45 ?
An interesting close up, I'm going to agree with DK, B&W works well for it.

[Nostromo]

Looks good to me.

 

[brrnd]

I like numbers. Very abstract, very good DoF and B&W conversion works well.

 

[SteveSc]

I like it, looking through the OOF cables to the number in focus works for me.

week 10 Attractive - Model

[Dark Knight]

Nice !!! - Good curves all around Nigel, liking the colours too, splendid image

 

[foggy4ever]

Very attractive image, nice pose and very complimenting colours in the corridor.

 

[CliveH]

Attractive, definitely, the curved background and the colours finish it off well.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Attractive, a lovely shot of the model and like how she is looking down

 

[Emja]

I liove the way the pink of the dress mirrors the background colour - that's a great location. Unusual pose, but I think it works well

Thanks Emma, had to wait a while for the panels to change to the right colour .

 

[brrnd]

Very attractive indeed, great colours, great pose!

The curved wall looks familiar, was that shot in the underpass at King's Cross station?

 

[SteveSc]

Thanks Emma, had to wait a while for the panels to change to the right colour .

Lovely shot for attractive - did you have to wait awhile for an empty corridor as well?

 

[d00d]

Another one liking attractive ... for all the reasons above.

 

[thirsty_camel]

Shoehorn alert....

Yup correct it is the King cross underpass .

Lovely shot for attractive - did you have to wait awhile for an empty corridor as well?

Thanks Steve, didn't have to wait to long as we shot on a Sunday .

Another one liking attractive ... for all the reasons above.

Thanks David

 

[Fuji Dave]

Dark, well it is a bit dark on the RHS of the flower
Power, I like this one a lot, as you`d need some power in your legs to get that going

 

[Hertsman]

I commented on this on Flickr, but I think its nearly perfect......


And the fritillary only flowers on Leonies birthday BTW..........

 

[d00d]

That's a very lovely flower shot ... nice dof and framing.

Pedal Power (nice idea ) ... wacky machine, captured in what's probably the perfect pov.

 

[Dark Knight]

Wow !!! - Two very interesting subjects, love the look of that flower, it looks a tiny little thing, was it there on it's own ??

As for the bike, that is well cool and very well photographed, uncluttered industrial background suits it very well

 

[brrnd]

Great find for pedal power, what an unusual contraption! Great PoV.

 

[Emja]

That's such a pretty flower and nice separation from a busy background, though maybe it's just slightly soft? Perhaps a touch of movement int he breeze?
I love your power shot - great pov

 

[LC2]

Hi Nigel.
Attractive - Pretty much Nailed It. Great model, location and pose. Lighting worked really well.
Dark - Quite a shoe-horn really, more shadow than dark, but hey, it's a shot
Power - Well, that's an interesting concept for a bike. Not sure it'll get round any corners, and least not in a conventional way.
Did you consider having more dead space below and to the right, effectively giving it somewhere to move into?
Loving the detail you've captured.

Oh, by the way...
Wright - Derived from an Old English word 'wryhta' or 'wyrhta', meaning worker or shaper of wood.

Hi Dean, this flower was on it's own normally find them in clusters thou in woodlands. I like the bike shot too, thanks for the comments .

Thanks Bernd

Thanks Emma, it's odd looks fine on my screen and fine on flickr unless to try to enlarge it so should be sharp

Thanks for your comments Tim, thought about the space in front but didnt have much to play with also figured that it only really needed it if someone has been on it and it was moving.
