weekly Anita's 52 week thread 2013

Really, really like the second electricity shot.

I would've liked to have seen the base of the tower on the right as well.
 
Hi Anita :)

Quick catch up...

Time - Nice idea that, crit on the leg, other than that I like your composition and the ability to see the flutist still

Juxtaposition - I like that, viewed large on flickr I like the crop too, again well lit & a nice black background :)

Letter - I have to agree with Graham, would look better left to right, but that doesn't take away from a well composed shot, I really like the quirky angle myself :thumbs:

Electric - I was going to say I'd like to see some ground, but after reading I guess you were keeping the other things out of the shot, I like the industrial look, muted colours and smoke - spot on the theme :)
 
It is Rugeley (not one of the four you mentioned unless spell check changed Rugeley to Rowley?)
 
Prefer #2 electric shot and the muted colours, I think both would have been better at a wider angle, but hear what you are saying about tying to avoid other unwanted things in view
 
Hi ya


pair of great shots for Electricity...think I'd plump for #1 , more of an industrial feel to it being slightly darker , great smoke captur as well....pity you couldn't have got the full smoke trail from the lefthand tower...thats not crit by the way just an observation :)
 
Hi, #2 for me. I'm not keen on the crop of #1.

#2 works better. Nice detail and composition, but pity you clipped the RH tower.

I think this would work good as a high contract B&W.

Cheers.
 
Hi Anita

Letter - bang on theme. Lovely soft warm colours in the brickwork, emphasised by the red of the box. Would have preferred box to have been as sharp as the brickwork

electric - 2 good shots on theme and either would do, but if i had to choose, then #2 for me has the better comp and more impact.
 
Very much like the cooling towers for Electric; for me the first is better. In the second there is an amorphous blob of smoke that doesn't do much, but in the first there are interesting leading lines (including faint shaed in the sky) that take my eye around the picture. Nice!
 

Direction by anitacv.1, on Flickr

Inspired by DK's frog photo :) but its not so technically acomplished. Dont think I've ever taken photos from inside a car before.
 
think direction works well, good timing and composition getting the keep left signs in, the car interior adds a really great touch to what would otherwise be a fairly dull shot.

Liking the snow covered branches on the trees too!

How many passes made to get the shot??
 
Hi. The idea was to take some shots including TomTom but couldn't get anything I liked so just took some as we were on way home.
 
I really like your direction image Anita. :D

It has lots of detail in there to hold the viewers attention.
Composition works well too, it gives a great perspective of looking out, with the windscreen framing the scene.

Good work :thumbs:
 

Tacky by anitacv.1, on Flickr

Attempted with extension tube as I dont have a macro lens. Glue got everywhere :)

Can't believe quarter of wy through and I'm still here :nuts:

Direction: really like this shot, nicely framed but the inside of the car.

Tacky: Nicely done, i love my extension tubes! Focus where needed, i also like the dof.
 
Stick with it.... cough cough ! indeed a quarter way through.

Great idea for tacky...... i'm sure i should be focussing on the glue but find myself staring at the oof finger. How i would improve it i dont really know, maybe more dof to show the finger in focus may result in attention being on the glue. Hmm!
 
QUOTE ams99] Stick with it.... cough cough !

:lol::lol::lol:

Hi, I had a similar idea but never got around to it.

Good take. Cracking detail. I like the processing and the finger being OOF really draws the eye to the sticky stuff.

Cheers.
 
Great shot for tacky, anita. Glue was my first thought but I really couldn't imagine how I'd capture the stickiness of it.

You've done just that really well here.. Your finger?? Or did you employ a model... Can just imagine camera getting covered in glue doing it yourself!
 
I thought I was going to be unique with this take on tacky. lol

Very well done, Ill put my thinking cap back on. :)
 
Really like this literal take on the tacky theme. It's one I thought of doing myself (only with golden syrup) but chickened out as I didn't think I would get it right.

This one has got it right. Focus is exactly where it needs to be to draw the eye to the subject. :)
 
Just to echo what everyone else has said Anita, bang on theme with focus being right where the action is :lol: Good work :thumbs:
 
You weren't the person who said they were stuck on tacky, were you? I think lots of things about this work really well, but there's just an element of ambiguity about it. Somehow the bottom surface looks shiny and the tacky bits look a bit like some kind of light reflection. It's probably just me... after a few looks it all falls into place, but I was puzzled at first.
 
Seemed to have lost my way over past few weeks but wanted to post these before the great unveiling of new theme tomorrow :bang:
Still have to find something for 'greed'.:help:
 
Value, cracking detail and I rather like the BG.

Angle :nono: :D it didn't click at first, but nice one. Well composed, nice reflection. A slight bump of the brightness maybe?

Cheers.
 
Super sharp shot of the coin for "value" there, fantastic.

Angle... you clever b****r. didn't see that coming at all.

value ....great detail ,appears to be floating , lovely bg as well...some sort of texture ? :thumbs:

Hi. The coin was sort of floating on a piece of glass supported above the background (very cheap sheet of glittery craft paper) .The rest is down to 'old photo' setting in Photoshop.
 
nice sharp value pic and angle does take a while to sink in had to have a real close look took, well done for doing something slightly different
 
Hi Anita, I really like your silver sixpence, great detail and lovely texture :thumbs:

not sure about the connection to angle :thinking: is it meant to be "angling"? but anyway I do like the reflection of the trees in the water, colours are a bit muted, looks like it could do with a bit of a contrast and HSL adjustment on my screen (could be wrong, I'm at work).

Hi....yes it was 'to angle' :)
Can i show my ignorance and ask what is HSL? I will have another go at editing it.
