It has been know yes, not just a pen pusherYOU do manual work
Cool, thank you Andy
Just a tad more hat would have been preferable, but hey when I got the hat in a shot I missed the focus on the front end of the planer :banghead:
Thank you too Steve, glad it appeals so far

That's a brilliant shot Dean .. especially having to produce and take the starring role as well Wow! Bravo. I like all the movement blur against the sharp focus on your hands.

Hahaaa thank you David, the concentration was trying to get the timing rightThink you did a lot better than I wood lol, a good shot showing a craftsman at work, like the chips flying and and the serious look on the face

Thanks AllanWorks well for the theme have no idea why you would be wearing a hard hat
- Well, hard hat was trying to make it look more construction site working, rather than just some random guy in his garden

Smooth - I like this alot, and a spot of proof that men can actually do a bit of multitasking. What with having to pose for picture and operate a camera at the same time, I am impressed with your skills. My bit of crit is the bright spot on the ring and just above by your thumb, I find my eye is very much drawn to that.

Nice action shot, I did something similar with a handsaw when I was boarding out my garage roof for storage.

Thank you SusieWe'll done DK, to set that up and then have to dash into the frame is brilliant ...love all the shavings flying up in the air. The things we do for this challenge
- I do wonder what my neighbours must think at times Thank you Mandy, I have had a look back and see what you mean, well spottedSmooth - I like this alot, and a spot of proof that men can actually do a bit of multitasking
Hmmm now that's a thought, Noted... thank you PaulI like this a lot. Great idea for the theme too
Wouldn`t mind seeing it in mono?
Thank yuo Em
- Yes that is brickwork, I kept setting the shot up and had to keep moving along as to not get a window in the shot, I had to remove a hanging basket too Cool - thank you Clive
Hahaaaa thank you BerndAnother selfie! Works well with the concentrated look on your face and the flying wood shavings. But man, you need a remote shutter release for your camera
- I have a couple of remotes, but with my hands full (both in view) unless I could activate it with a clentch of my buttocks I struggle to see how to use on in this instance Thank you WalterTen out of ten for endeavour, well thought out.
Cheers Chris - and yes it took a bit
Thank you, glad to hear I'm not the only one running aboutNice action shot, I did something similar with a handsaw when I was boarding out my garage roof for storage.
Thank you Georgina, the things we do for the 52 challenge heyWell done, hard enough to get the shot never mind putting yourself in it too. Great take on the theme too

I decided this week to take my photo today (Sunday) and when opening up the blinds this morning and seeing how grey and miserable it looked I decided to take a trip down the road again to the seaside...
The idea was to get a simple shot, minimal but bright and include nothing but Sand, Sea and Sky...
Once there I drove up and down the sea front looking for a good location and decided to go near the harbour where I saw a boat in the distance, I tried a couple of shots without the boat in, but to me there was no scale or sense of vastness, so I aimed to get it in on purpose but held back in the misty conditions.
I had a few images to choose from, I preferred this one with the diagonal surf and the bright sun trying to fight through, and to get it to work for me I must say I cloned out A LOT of elements on the sand and in the shallow surf
So here we have - Week 6 - a 'Whole' lot of nothing

I agree about the boat, I like the shot without it in too, but prefer it in for scale, there is still a whole lot of nothing space

Simple and effective Dean. Almost a blank canvas but enough there just to emphasise the nothingness. Like the subdued colours between beach and sea.

Thank you Kath
Yes I did use a filter, seems the sky and sea intensity was equal for a change I did not need a ND filter, but I did use my Lee 'Big Stopper' to smooth out the sea as it was extremely rough, I did try my 'Little Stopper' but that gave too much definition
Thank you Carl, and as usual nicely put, I like the emphasising the nothingness

Damn... okay point takenYeah, the boat add scale....but loose it
Like it. Muted tones, nice diagonals, nice movement in the water. Losse that shell and it's bang on.
Cheers.

Hi Dean thought it was time I dropped by.......
Song/Lyric - Love the composition some lovely detail and it locks a very tranquil scene.
Order - Great image for the theme hows the lens?
Comfort - I really like the framing and DoF on that the bright yellow really pulls you to the main subject
Hairy - Great detail in boh images a great take on the theme
Smooth - Lovely action shot although he obviously doesn't do H&S!
Whole - I like the subtle of the image.

About time too
Thanks Mark
I wish lol
Cool... thanks again
Cheers
I know... I certainly wasnt going to go down the 5 point PPE route, I did try a viz-vest but it was was too bright & distracting, some subtle gloves would have been a good idea to take attention away from my ring, and I really should have put goggles on too, but couldn't be arsed
Thanks a lot Mark for the big catch up

Fantastic shot Dean, (shame about the oil rig/ship on the horizon), I don't quite know what to say, other than can I have a canvas for my wall.
