Cptnm's 52 - Week 52 - New

It works. Tell us about it.
 
Brilliant, thank you both! It's a street in Porto (on holiday atm) I was hoping for a more lively pic but didn't get out until quite late unfortunately!
Sure something will come up nicely for snappers choice, good timing!
 
Good shot Megan, too bad the person in the doorway wouldn't cooperate by walking down the street... :D
 
Week 25 - Snapper's Choice

A very good week for this for me! I may have a play with some filters now I'm home, but these are straight off the phone again I'm afraid. All taken in/around Porto again!

Chosen shot - The 516, the longest pedestrian suspension bridge (quite a walk)

Almost went with another bridge, but not quite as interesting maybe -

Lots of lovely lines there Megan :)
 
Just adding a couple that I finally managed to edit a bit, but think the chosen shot might be the best of the bunch (although I like the hammer & lanterns very much from the São João festival)

Lanterns -

Long walk on the pedestrian bridge, it looks pretty light weight. That's a big hammer in the 3rd shot :)
What's on the 2nd bridge trams?
 
Week 26 - Transport

They've been roped in again - bit of a shoehorn! but Charlie transporting Nel
They were both taken separately & merged together with an eraser just in case he tipped her over!

Lovely shot, Nel looks a bit confused :) Both wondering when they will get their biscuit reward
 
Aw yeah love that :love:
 
Love this shot. I don't know if I could ever get my little guy to pose like that long enough to take a shot.

Thank you all! Was a bit of fun taking it - they're both definitely used to cameras = treats, so that definitely helps taking their pics :ROFLMAO:
 
Great image Megan. Dark and foreboding, It works really well.
 
That’s a belter Megan!

Thank you all - was quite lucky timing with the last clouds we've had for about a week :oops: :$ Definitely think it adds to the atmosphere!
 
Week 28 - Portrait

Another Charlie pic - thinking the lighting should've been slightly more angled to light up his eye a little more

Awesome portrait Megan, the bokeh on the left almost looks like his/her breathe.
 
Lovely lit pooch pic :)

Week 29 - Vibrant

The local goldfinches are always very vibrant!

Second choice would be a drone shot from Parys Mountain, but maybe not vibrant enough for the week

Goldies all the way!

Have a look where they're lining up before flying to the feeder for a more natural shot.
 
Love your GFs Megan. Much more colourful than the house finches that I see where I am (although I like them a lot as well :) ).
