The TP 52 - 2025 Boot's 52 for 2025

[Boots]

Well spotted and photographed Paul. The reflection certainly makes it.

Took me a while.

More so because graffiti artists often have unusual names.

WONKE doesn’t seem inconceivable.

Great spot.

Thanks Pete and Kell!

Ha! that's actually quite clever, well spotted!

Week 4 - Morning Light

Shoehorn Alert!

An image from some years back, but rolling out of the printer today - 6 a.m. watching the waves rolling in and out at Teignmouth was beautifully meditative.



My also ran was:

Love it - great Shoehorn and meets the brief in more ways than one!

The also ran also works!!

Thanks Bob! I thought it was OK, but it didn't really delight me; but remembering watching those waves...

 

[Kell]

I like the printer image. I think you're right to go with that over the other.

The printer image is a unusual take on the subject and all the better for it

Brilliant graffiti and the shot is really well composed.

Very imaginative shot of a photo in print too, really clever and could be an advert for Canon!

Week 5 - Snapper's Choice & Tech - Wide Angle

I decided to revisit a shot from a few years ago. A very minimalist jug on a worktop. Since it was shot with a 35mm on a full frame camera I guess it just about squeaks in as Wide Angle (not what I was planning to do for that Technical challenge at all, so may decide to revisit that, but for now, it will have to do).

 

[Allan.H]

Very minimalist indeed it works well with the light highlighting the jug perfectly

Nicely captured simple and minimalist image. I like all that negative space and the reflection.

 

[bullinachinashop]

That's a briliantly lit and composed image - my attention keeps jumpig between the jug and the pattern on ther worktop. Brillaint!!

[Darkslinger]

What a great concept and so well composed. The lighting is excellent.

 

[BobBCN]

Excellent shot!! I'm not sure if the pattern on the surface adds or distracts. I guess I'll keep looking! Either way, it's a great minimalist image.

Lovely, simple but very effective.

[SimonH]

Nice shot Paul. Nice lighting.
I think the jug is very slightly too far left for me - but that's clearly a personal view, and possibly because I'm thinking in 3rds.
However, it's still a very good shot.

Thanks Simon. If you think this one has the jug too far left, you should have seen version 1, it was almost on the edge. I specifically wanted to "break the rules".

 

[Shugpug]

Just beautiful. I love minimalist photography and this is a great example.

Week 6 - Silhouettes

When all you have is a hammer...

 

[Darkslinger]

LOL, nice use of what you've got. My first thought was that you were trying to "hammer" home the concept...

 

[Shugpug]

Love the concept! Nicely executed.
