weekly d00d's 52 in 2016 ... week 52 celebration

[chrispp]

Interesting David, nice details

 

[Bruja]

Love that Lone shot David. The colours and the isolation and I can almost hear the waves

Fauna is definitely nature at work, recycling at its most basic.

 

[LC2]

Hey d00d
Lone - subtly done, I like that. Nicely contrasty with good blues and greens.
Fauna - I think your choice for the image was the better of the 2 you've posted. Interesting shot, well composed (cropped?)

 

[d00d]

Thanks everyone for liking my "gruesome" ... also those who said nice things about "lone" ... I'm pleased with that.

not so sure about week 32 tho

 

[d00d]

Jamie's van been stuck there static for years ....

Week 32 Static

 

[DowntonMini]

Really like that David lovely colours.

I do find it funny that Jamie's Italian has a French van outside and a decoration!

 

[Allan.H]

Well spotted, is it never used, very strange

 

[rpn]

Very colourful and I like the inclusion of the sign.

 

[Dark Knight]

Hahaaaaa yes a great spot, glad you thought of the composition too rather than just of the van, real nice colours on this image, and a great looking van too

Thanks Mark ... yes it's a Citroen isn't it, I'd not thought of that.

Well spotted, is it never used, very strange

Cheers Allan ... it's supported underneath, to take the weight off the tyres (?) I guess. Ice cream is sold to restaurant customers from the back, and I'm sure the side opens too, tho I've never seen it.

Thanks Stan

You've taught me well DK

I cropped a smidge more off one side than the other to bring the corner of the building dead centre. My SOOCs are 3x2 but cropping top & bottom this is near 2x1 ... the kind of orientation I tend to prefer these days ... and it gets me thinking letterbox with every click, which is probably not a bad thing.

 

[brrnd]

Great composition and great colours of the static van.

 

[Deleted member 78683]

That really is an excellent shot David. I like your crop of choice. Composition that leaves room for the van to move into, even though static, is spot on - just would not have looked as good without that space.

 

[Cobra]

Well spotted David, nice colours too

Can't add anything to that

 

[posiview]

Well composed and wonderful colours. I might have gone in slightly closer, cropping out the LH box.

Cheers.

 

[susiejb]

It's all been said .....well spotted d00d ...excellent for the theme.

 

[chrispp]

Great composition David, like the colours, the greens look great on my screen

 

[Dark Knight]

That's the thing mate isn't it when it starts to become habit week in week out, such a good thing about the 52 in my opinion

 

[d00d]

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Now on to GAME ... loads of options here but after failing to find one or two things I had in mind, including birds of the feathered kind in Borough Market I spotted this guy, got a free taste of his venison too.

Week 33 Game

 

[Cobra]

Look at those prices! ( I bet thats not the continental "1" either)
Well spotted David, a nice take on the theme

 

[Deleted member 78683]

Great choice and excellently taken David ... 3d quality with that shallow DoF (think the chef is looking down at me flaked out on the floor after being asked for £7 for a burger !!).

 

[d00d]

Thanks guys .... taken with my new 85mm f/1.8

I guess he has to charge so much as he gives so much away, but perhaps there's less freebie as lunch hour approaches.

 

[Shirleyr]

Its very posh there, someone will buy one, someone posh. He has a very nice pair of tongs.

 

[rpn]

Took me a while to get it but great idea and well spotted.

 

[d00d]

Thanks. They are nice tongs aren't they! I took a lot of shots where passing people got in the way and/or hung around acting undecided about accepting a free sample, or with him looking the wrong way, then I was pleased to capture both gloved hands and nice tongs.

Took me a while to get it but great idea and well spotted.

Thanks .... a bit shoehorny I know. I'm expecting the plebs amongst us to imagine wild this and wild that is all Game for the hunting shooting fishing set.

Perhaps its cheaper without the tomato sauce.

 

[brrnd]

That's a very good environmental portrait!

And I don't find £7 for a venison burger excessive... London prices

 

[d00d]

"environmental portrait" ... I like that, must remember it, and do some more.

been a long time since I had a salt beef sandwich, they're the same kind of money in a nearby stall ... could be tempted.

 

[Dark Knight]

Liking this David, would of been tempted to clone out the hot sign, other than that picky though I likle all the other elements, people in the background, the faded lights and the guy doing his stuff too, nice composition with the level timber across the bottom, like it

 

[Allan.H]

Very good, nicely composed, will you be going back for more ?

 

[chrispp]

Thanks. They are nice tongs aren't they! I took a lot of shots where passing people got in the way and/or hung around acting undecided about accepting a free sample, or with him looking the wrong way, then I was pleased to capture both cloved hands and nice tongs.

'Game' for a laugh at those prices !

 

[LC2]

Static - I want to know what that is under the van. Some kind of plinth?
Game - Nicely done. I might have edited out the "Caution Hot" sign as it is a bright point in the image which draws your attention though.

@chrispp, you evidently don't have to buy lunch in London if you think thouse prices steep!

 

[Bruja]

Brrnd calls it Environmental portrait I call it Social Commentary. One of those pictures that in 20 years time people will be saying 'blimey, only seven quid for a burger!'

Patience well rewarded

 

[SteveSc]

Love this shot, great capture and nicely done with the DOF keeping everything important sharp making a lovely background out of what could have been very distracting. Borough market is a great place to go for a wander, just have to limit how much I spend.

Thanks DK ... yes he's doing his stuff Re the hot sign I did think about desaturating that to make it less prominent but finally decided no.

Very good, nicely composed, will you be going back for more ?

Thanks Allan ... I'll def be back for more photos and more free samples.

All the way to the bank.

Thanks Tim ... Re Static ... I'm guessing it's on bricks or something to take the weight off the tyres, and there's some black painted board to leave everything looking tidy.

.... did they really eat protected species? ... that hair cut! did that come before or after the mullet? etc. Thanks Jill.

Thank you Steve ... self crit: I focused on the food labels at f/1.8 and later realised the man could be in better focus, so I'll maybe close aperture down a little in future.

 

[d00d]

Saw this in London's Chinatown a week too early, but had to share it, so it's an archive pic from me this week.

Week 34 Serene

EDIT ... 24/08/2016 @ 11.30 - SOC added for those that don't like to see the top of her head missing.

 

[sirch]

Nice one David, spot on for the theme, slight shame you lost the top of her head but ideal none-the-less

 

[Cobra]

slight shame you lost the top of her head

She is just starting to "rise" that's why

Well spotted David, nicely fits the theme.

 

[Dark Knight]

Very apt David, love the DoF, bang on with the background and the legs walking into the frame, perfect timing and love the placement of the shoes in the shot, Nice One
