Film Photographer of the Year - The shots that didn't make the cut

[Harlequin565]

You were almost right, I thought your chickens was a winner THB but it seems not.

As #1 daughter used to "almost" say... "Winner winner chicken dinner..."

 

[FishyFish]

I had several to pick from, so I picked the one that only two people liked enough to vote for!

#1 I like, but wasn't sure.
#2 I like too, but it felt more "negative space" than "out of focus"
#3 was almost my entry, although...
... #4 below would have been my entry, but it was very similar to one of the entries from last month, so I decided against it.

4 would have got my vote

Does that help?

 

[sirch]

I really like the snail but know what you mean

 

[FishyFish]

Here's another that I'd forgotten about...

I didn't like the surface it was placed on. It would have been better on a blank surface I think.

My alternative for last month's "Cluttered" theme. This one had a more photograpy-related bent, but wasn't as cluttered as my shot of the drawer.

It's for when I visit London in my time-machine.

More info here - it's a very nice book: https://www.hoxtonminipress.com/collections/vintage-britain/products/london-underground-1970-1980

I have a copy, its a fabulous snapshot of the life of the underground from that period.

Well I travelled on the underground to school from 1953-1956 (well only on one line) and should have taken a camera to show bowler hats etc.

I'm come to realise that other TP members idea of "cluttered" is what my house might look like AFTER a tidy.

Ha! Imagine how I'm feeling!

 

[excalibur2]

Well when I eventually get the film developed I might have won when you see my shot that I'll post

Is that like the angler and "the one that got away"?

I'm certainly not posting the one of my bookcase either. There were a couple of others I thought about, all Nikon F80, 28-75, Kodak Gold.

#1 Original of the one I did post, as the posted one looked better when the sun came out and lit it up.



#2 Caley Marina on the frozen Caledonian Canal in Inverness



#3 Caley Marina on the frozen Caledonian Canal in Inverness

Me neither, there's that much dust on some of the shelves that the woodlice are having to walk around on stilts!

That’s not Pac-Man, it’s one of the four ghosts. Blinky, the red ghost to be precise.

Sometimes out of date film is interesting but this was a bit too far for April 2021 FPOTY. 20 year OOD Polaroid 600, amazing the battery still worked but chemistry a bit too gooey.
