Thank you for all the crit and comments all of which is very appreciated. I tried to take a different route to the obvious, the next theme looks a little more interesting and I'm thinking hard as I type :D
 
Good looking shot. I was thinking it must be an unusual shot of the Glam Rockers "Sweet" of Ballroom Blitz fame" until I read your write up.
 
Thanks folks, appreciated. ;)

Here is a shot of the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the theme was secure.

Title: "Secure the fly"

:lol: Great idea, and great shot to.
People are finding some nice different shots for this weeks theme, and getting them p quite quick to.
 
I have just looked through all of your photos album and I really like your shots. The pp on fear is great, something id love to be good at.

My favourite of the lot has to be sigh its a cracking composition and right on theme. Looking forward to seeing more of your shots they should be good.
 
Fantastic! great idea and lovely sharp pic. Like it a lot.
 
Secure works well for me love all the different takes that people come up with when the themes are posted out,great macro :clap:
 
Great DOF on this Alby but would not expect anything else good lighting and sharp in the right place.
 
love it - good take on the theme too :clap:
 
Wow - very well done and an interesting view on the theme, you might what to check your not still flying low though ;)
 
Thanks everybody, 5 weeks in so I thought I had better stick up a macro shot. :D
Fly checked Ruthie ;)
 
Thanks folks, glad you all seem to approve of my secure shot. :D
 
Not sure what I was going to do for this but while at work I spotted the perfect thing for me to shoot with the Panny FZ8 and play around with CS5. It was a quick pull over to the side of the road, wound down the window and 2 quick snaps gave me a pretty crap shot. A play in CS5 and I started to like it so here it is.

Title: "A dying Industry"

It fits the theme right enough but something just isnt working for me. Not sure what though :shrug:

It looks a bit dark to me but as I've said before my laptop isnt the best. I dont know if its the PP. I'll keep looking and see if I can work it out :D
 
Like that a lot, almost like a headstone and works well in B&W

Thanks Gramps, now you mention it, it does almost fit as a headstone I guess.
 
Hi alby,

Missed secure, but its already been said, its very simple and very well shot

Industry- i like the idea behind this, and think it works very well for the theme and as an image
 
Industry, well composed and on theme. I wasn't sure about the bright BG but then I thought, "Light at the end of the tunnel??" and rather liked it.

Cheers.

BTW, what lens/settings for secure??

Thanks Lizzy, I found Industry quite challenging if I'm honest.

Cheers Andy. ;) I used my 1d mk3 with the mp-e 65 lit by my 430ex speedlite.

The B&W conversion suits this image Alby. The bright background isolates the figure well. Spot on theme. Out of curiosity, what size is this figure, just to put it in context? Iain
