weekly Wallyboys 52 for 2016, CELEBRATION ADDED

[rpn]

It's weird and very different. I think I understand what you trying to achieve after reading your explanations. I did something similar in my 2011 52's for Hidden but my idea and thoughts behind the shot never quite able to translate into an meaningful image.

Would work better in a contrasty b+w I think, i would like to see the sign complete too, just to satisfy the ocd in me

 

[posiview]

Never an easy photograph without faffing with a load of gear. Crit has been made.

Cheers.

Idea was alien dropped off from outer space, wants to learn surfing, so attaches itself to a camper van after seeing sticker in window.......LOL

Hahahaha - brilliant idea Walter - gave me a good laugh.

 

[susiejb]

Love the idea Walter ...it made me smile too, but I'm not sure if the photo quite translates your thoughts

Glad i got some smiles taken as meant bit of fun

 

[wallyboy]

Bit of messy fun in kitchen(behave now)
Liquid splash

 

[DowntonMini]

Very nice Walter I like the bright coloured B/G. I have a water drop kit to do these but someone else in the camera club has it at the moment must see if they have finished with it!

 

[Dark Knight]

Nice effect Walter, a very vivid image indeed, works well

 

[d00d]

I really like the artiness of Alien.

Not sure about Liquid.

 

[Carl Ayling]

You managed to get a crown for Liquid - no mean feat Walter. Great colours.

 

[posiview]

Hi, good attempt, but not sure about the focus, it's not easy so well done for getting what you got.

Very vibrant submission.

Cheers.

 

[brrnd]

Great idea, great timing and I like the oversaturated colours. Pity it isn't entirely in focus.

 

[Dark Knight]

Spot on for the theme Walter, but I too would prefer a different composition, the brick background is interesting though

 

[Emja]

I love the vibrant colours of this Walter and the shape of the splash is spot on - it must have been so hard to do!

 

[wallyboy]

Thanks for comments, it was done with stuff kicking around kitchen.
The OOF look is down to slow shutter speed, not actual focus.

 

[wallyboy]

This little fella getting food out of cracked shell.

 

[DowntonMini]

Great spot lovely DoF and composition

 

[Shirleyr]

Well thought off.

 

[Carl Ayling]

Lovely shot Walter - sharp, colourful and beautiful light.

 

[d00d]

Good 'n sharp, nice detail.

Just an idea .... compo/crop -wise .... I might make the bird less central by cropping a bit off RHS .... then, I might even flip it !!

 

[brrnd]

Nice bird photo for cracked, excellent light and sharpness.

 

[Emja]

Beautiful shot Walter - I do agree about losing a little off the rhs, but lovely light and detail.

 

[susiejb]

Well done with the liquid Walter, not an easy one to do, I like the use of the colours ...it makes a very vibrant image.

Great shot for Cracked ...I agree about the slight crop, but lovely detail in the bird, and perfect for the theme.

 

[LC2]

Hi Walter.
A blue hour shot? Nice to see something different
Good separation between the bird / shell and the background

 

[wallyboy]

Thanks for comment as always much appreciated, any points given are taken on board.

VOICES IN MY HEAD

URBAN CAR PARK

 

[Cobra]

LOL excellent idea Walter, bang on theme

 

[wallyboy]

LOL excellent idea Walter, bang on theme

Thank you sir cobra, bit of fun really.

 

[LC2]

Spooky - Nice strong blues captured there Walter. Plenty to look at in the image.
Re-Shoot - it looks like the building is curved. If you run a straight line along the roofline you can see a slight curving of the building. I think that it's a little bit of pincushion. Plus the edges show obvious perspective effects from being shot down low. A few minutes in PS ought to be able to correct those effects.

 

[Dark Knight]

Spooky is a good combination of images Walter, theme wise good and as you say a nice fun image

 

[sirch]

Spooky is well put together, nice one.

Urban reshoot is really good for the theme I think, doesn't get much more urban than that.

 

[Carl Ayling]

Hi Walter. Nice bit of invention and artistry for Spooky - love the yellow/green eyes. Your choice for Urban re-shoot brings out the uniformity of common place architecture.

 

[susiejb]

Hi Walter .... that's a super Spooky one, well put together and very eye catching.

Urban ...perfect again for the theme.

 

[wallyboy]

Thanks for comments,
spooky was taken from two images, which i shot in Brighton,.

 

[wallyboy]

Caught this little fella striking a pose, and showing off playing his ukulele under water.

 

[LC2]

Very interesting, I have no idea how you took that.
As my old teachers at school would say, explain.

 

[posiview]

That's a very trippy submission

 

[Carl Ayling]

Definitely Posed Walter - is that an Elvis lip I detect. Certainly came well-prepared with those goggles for the underwater gig.

 

[sirch]

I like that, cleverly done and the minion is definitely posing
