Thanks Clive - sometimes it just in front of you
Well seen....just what I had been thinking!
Oh my gosh - message couldn't be clearer - I'm assuming the number is an ID and not a counter (gulp). Spot on for the theme.
Definately dangerous, nicely taken
3 great idea's Ruth, all on theme, love the abandoned house
Hey Ruth
Happy - You aint wrong here, and a nice clean, sharp and bright image too, like it
Abandoned - Now that is a shame, a nice decent sized house at that, sad indeed
Danger - Not the most interesting of images, but hey, right to the point
Happy - A very unique take on the theme. Well done!
Abandoned - Wow, that sure looks abandoned to me. I wonder how it will look if you took this picture at night. Could look like a haunted house, especially with all that creepy overgrowth and broken windows and boarded up doors. A good find for the theme!
Danger - I've never seen a sign that said "Danger of Death" so this is an interesting capture. I'm curious, what's the danger exactly?
Hi Ruth - not quite sure how I missed yours so apologies!
Metal - it works and the DOF definitely brings your attention to the metal. I like the composition but maybe photographing it slightly less flat-on would make it even stronger? Good start though...
Captivity - well taken shot in what looks like bright sunshine. Hard conditions and the shadows on the statue pay tribute to that - if you could reshoot at a time with lower sun perhaps behind you or to the side, it would be interesting to compare the two?
Old - definitely on-theme and good to experiment a bit with composition. Well spotted.
Miniature - also well on-theme. A very hard subject to photograph, so brilliant for going for it. You could try getting the subject closer to that window behind you, and then taking it at slightly more of an angle - you'd probably still end up with your reflection in the glass but the highlights should be softer. Always good to try different things though so well done.
Happy - really good take here, another well done from me. Shadow under the box is slightly softer as a result of a larger light source (you can take this even further if you want) but you still get enough directional light to make the braille show up. Really good shot!
Danger - I nearly took a similar image so I think your choice is inspired Good use of DOF and although the overcast sky looks slightly blown, it doesn't detract from the image and allows you to get decent shadow detail on the pole. Well done.
Keep it up!
Hi, certainly fits the theme, its amazing what's around us if we just open our eyes a little more
Hi Ruth. Spot on theme
The sky is either very grey, or blown. I wonder if this is a shot where HDR would have been appropriate to bring life back to the sky.
Hi Ruth ...that notice is certainly spot on for the theme ...the sky is a maybe a bit bare, but at this time of the year it's unfortunately an almost permanent hazard.
I don't think I've dropped in on your thread yet! Great pics so far: I think Happy is my cynical favourite.
Bang on theme Ruth, and well spotted!
That sign certainly sums up danger and I like the positioning of the pole.
Three great photographs, I like your alternative take on 'happy' and the house certainly looks 'abandoned'. When I see a property like that it always make me wonder why it has been left to get in such a state.
Your 'danger' shot certainly fits the theme. Liz
Hi Ruth
Happy is an inspired choice and opens a can of worms too. For some people it will make them happier but for others, whose depression is caused by external factors it is less likely if these factors do not improve/change. I like the way I can see the braille in what's quite a bright image
Abandoned, the gloomy sky certainly adds to the feeling of abandonment and makes a very appropriate image. Such a shame such a large house is not being used.
Danger, another good spot. The yellow draws the eye to the Danger here.
well taken, its amazing after seeing the theme last week you take more notice of things and these sort of signs are all over the place,
Hi Ruth ... I've missed so many of your posts than I care to admit to.
I like the Happy lighting ... white on white with the definitive blue line.
Abandoned .. what a state.
Danger of death ... I feel something more could be made of that, but would probably involve shoppery like a scary sky ... that's cheating tho.
Great minds think alike.
I like the processing of the background
On theme, but not too keen on the foliage on the LHS, maybe getting down much lower and trying to get rid of some distractions.
Cheers.
Happy - I used to have them tablets for treating my depression, so works for me.
Abandoned - indeed a good find for the theme, don't think anyone will be living in that house anytime soon.
Danger - simple but yet effective for the theme.
Happy - well certainly after taking them, nice clean shot, perfect for the subject.
Abandoned - good take on the theme, shame places like that are left to ruins
Danger - good shot and like the angle.
3 interesting pictures the House is indeed a sad sight such a shame.
all on theme and well taken
Hi Ruth
Abandoned - Great image for the theme its a same to see houses that could provide a home being left like this.
Danger - Nice angle adds a bit of impact
