weekly Delta Skies 2012 52 Week Challenge - Week 52 "Busy" added

ha ha brilliant - love it

 

[Arlandria]

Love it! I hate football, but it still made me laugh. I'm imagining that the little goalie has his arms up because he's screaming in fear of the huge football that's about to roll over him.

 

[ChickenDipa]

Another fab idea for small. Bang on theme for sure.

Would maybe like to see the goalie in focus and the player in the foreground.

 

[Dark Knight]

Nice one Peter - really like that

 

[posiview]

Good to see a funny photograph. Liking the composition and perspective.

Cheers.

 

[Delta Skies]

Nice one! Very original! I wish I still had mine.

Thanks Bob

Glad you like it Vicky

Thanks for the comments Alex. Believe it or not I was on f22 so some extra exposures would have been required. As it was a bit of cropping and a touch of the obligatory sharpening was all I did on this one. Made a nice change.

Nice one Peter - really like that

I'm feeling guilty about not doing a reshoot. This one was taken in the proper week but I posted it with a few others in the landscape section rather than on here. This just won the vote between the two shots of Drax. So here's my industry reshoot


Drax 2 by Delta Skies, on Flickr

 

[ChickenDipa]

You were up late!

Its a good one for industry, nice green grass and great sky. Drax definitely says industry, such an interesting subject and could bring a lot of opportunities for togging.

 

[Nathalie]

Peter,

Small - Very clever. Love it!

Up late? Only a bit but then it was all done for a good cause - posting and commenting on the TP52 threads.
Thanks for the comments about the Drax shot. A few more can be found on my other thread

Peter,

Small - Very clever. Love it!

Thanks Nat

Hi Peter
Miles behind in looking at other 52s, Just to say the idea for Joy I like. Small is brilliant. The industry shot really has come to life with the sky, and the lead in lines through the field take you straight to the subject. I might have cropped the bottom to emphasise the lines a bit more.

 

[superpippo]

Peter

Small - very funny. Like the composition, the focus is clear and bang on theme. White of the ball looks a little greenish on my monitor.

Reshoot Industry is an excellent shot. Super foreground, lovely sky, good colours and composition

Thanks John. Your comment on the bottom is noted. cropping it further up would also help put the subject on the third

Thanks Allan. I spotted the green but only after I'd posted the shot :bang: It will be from the light bouncing off the green pitch material.

Hi Peter, well done on your small shot - I like the composition on this one and what a great idea!

Re-shoot - when I looked at these originally I prefered the shot taken without the 10stop but this has grown on me now and I think I prefer this one now! It was good to get out and reshoot industry in better weather conditions from last time!

Thanks Sarah. I enjoyed taking both. This 10 stop version is the one I prefer as well.

 

[Bilko]

Love your small picture.

Your Industry picture is great, i like it.

 

[The goblin]

Hi Peter, I'm a few weeks behind!

Joy, very clever take on the theme. All three photos are nice and sharp.

Small, I've not seen many peoples small shots yet. I like this for the sense of scale as well as giving me a little chuckle!

Industry reshoot is a cracker. The lines across the field really draw the eye in to the power station

 

[gramps]

Re-shoot, like that though poss a little over-saturated grass.
Small - great fun shot well done for taking the time to set that up.
Joy - love that, well thought out and executed shots.

comment catch up time Peter

Joy, great triptych, well spotted on the components to make the word. The tones and colours work well together. As Andy mentioned, when we were on the TP Northumberland meet we saw something similar spelling out the pub name. It is obvious you've put some thought into this and have been rewarded for your efforts

Small, very creative and original for the theme. It is a fun image, I particularly like the clean, even lighting on this and the composition works well too.

Industry reshoot, I do like the effect the long exposure has had on the clouds/sky. It emphasises the water cooling towers, the leading lines from the field support the strong composition. Good work Iain

 

[LauraJ23]

Small, love the creative thinking with this one, the large football gives the image a great impact.
Industry reshoot, like this as well, very nice sky in there too.

I couldn't believe how difficult it was in getting the shot I wanted. It really doesn't help when your subject keeps moving

Anyway here's this weeks entry being on the subject of ............. "straight from the horse's mouth".


Straight (from the horse's mouth) by Delta Skies, on Flickr

 

[Allan.H]

excellent made me laugh well done for keeping at it it has paid off. Good interpretation of the theme too

Thanks. Glad it made you smile. That was part of what I was trying to achieve.

 

[LauraJ23]

It's like the horse is laughing at you! Great pic, made me smile too.

 

[gramps]

great thinking.

 

[The goblin]

Great POV and lighting.

Are you a regular at the farm now stalking the animals?

 

[posiview]

Hi, Peter straight is fantastic.... Made me chuckle. Has a real cartoon feel to it.

Cheers.

 

[sturisoma]

wow what a great angle - you are braver than me, anything with hooves bigger than a pigmy goat scares me silly lol

Thanks Michael, Gramps, Marsha, Andy and Summer.

I did have a gate between me and the horses but they still got very close although that's exactly what I needed with the 10mm. In fact at one point the lens got steamed up from the horse's breath. Yes I was that close! It made quite a nice effect but the composition was way off so I didn't use it.

 

[superpippo]

Hi Peter

Straight - unusual pov which makes the neck look astonishingly skinny. Agree with Andy that it has a cartoon feel.

Thanks Alan. I don't think there was a way of showing what I was trying to achieve without it looking comical.

The comical effect really adds to the photograph, so I'm glad you did it

 

[Delta Skies]

I enjoyed taking them. They are quite social animals so a quick knock of my wedding ring (don't tell Sarah) on the metal gate and they were soon over in my corner of the field.

 

[Dark Knight]

Hi Peter

Re-Shoot - Great image that, love the movement in the sky but the dead still look of the field, Nice one

Straight - That's just great

Too late - I've seen it!! Whats wrong with Polos!!

A great comical shot with a good POV!

You've done cows and horses so will it be pigs or chickens next!!

Thanks Sarah. Sounds like a challenge if only I knew where the nearest pig or chicken farm is.

 

[Southdowns]

Small is great fun, and very nicely taken.

Industry re-shoot I love too; I like the contrast between grey sky and bright crops a lot.
