Week 1 - Lines and Angles



I hope there are sufficient lines and angles here for the group.

 

[Adamcski]

Nice black and white image and ticks the theme box for me

 

[LC2]

Almost, but not quite, accessible.
That has to be a 605 - 70s build.
B&W suits the grime.

 

[SimonH]

Oh yes, that works Paul!

 

[-Oy-]

Yep - another Jigsaw Hell shot working well

Thanks all!

You are quite right Tim, 70s build and sadly failing to be accessible.

 

[Mozthecat]

Like the B&W on that, gives it a sense of atmosphere.

 

[nog]

Good one. Meets the theme for the week, think you have enough lines and angles

 

[Darkslinger]

I think that there are just enough lines and angles in the shot to satisfy...

 

[Allan.H]

Nice gritty image plenty of angles and lines.

 

[Cloudforest]

Nicely done Paul. The tight composition and use of black & white really makes the shot.

 

[NickD]

I like the tightness, how full the frame is.

Thanks all! Glad the team have had their fill of Lines and Angles.

 

[Barney]

Smashed it as usual Paul

Thank you Wayne, too kind.

Week 2 - Rust and Decay

When I saw this theme I knew where I wanted to go, I just had to wait for some half decent weather. Today was that day, and very enjoyable it was.



Nature is slowly, but surely reclaiming its own.

 

[SimonH]

Perfect shot for the theme Paul. Great spot!

Thanks Adam, but I wouldn't want to put your back out!

 

[LC2]

Nice find and well captured.
What vehicle is it?

 

[Boots]

Nice find and well captured.
What vehicle is it?

Thanks Tim!

Sorry, no real idea. The internet says that there was a plate identifying it as a military (RAF?) Radio vehicle type 316 mk 3 December 1960, but I couldn't see that plate.

 

[BlackDogPhoto]

This is the kind of shot I’d hoped to find but couldn’t think of anywhere! Love it.

 

[nog]

Just the job for the theme, been there a while

 

[Cloudforest]

That’s a good find Paul and perfect for the theme.

 

[Allan.H]

Really nice shot excellent find

 

[NickD]

Oh yeah, that's decay!. Nice spot, and the colours look great.

Many thanks all! I was pleased by how it turned out, but more importantly I enjoyed the outing. Today however, rain!

 

[Kell]

Bit of T-Cut and that's be right as rain.

Nicely spotted and captureed.

I admire your optimism!

Thanks Kell!

 

[Simonbrown16]

I think this is the perfect picture for the theme, no rusted cars near me to take advantage of!

Perfect shot for the theme Paul. Great spot!

Indeed

 

[Boots]

Thanks John!

 

[AlanDorset]

Spot on. When you know the subject and just hoping for the weather to be kind, it helps.

 

[Darkslinger]

LOL, wouldn't want to be changing that tire. Great capture.

Thanks both!

Week 3 - Windows and Doors & Technique - Framing

Now, hopefully we're not going to get too picky about dictionary definitions!

Once more, when I saw the theme for the week, I knew where I wanted to go, I just needed a bit of luck with the weather.



Windows and a door leading onto the West Loggia and framing the view beyond.

And a bonus l'oeil de boeuf window to boot.

 

[Adamcski]

Wonderful colours and texture (IMO). Nice way to tick off the theme also
