Week 1 - Lines and Angles

Lets get started with a freezing cold trip to the zoo containing a play area for the kids.

I could not feel my fingers at this point.

 

[Adamcski]

Ticks the boxes for me.

Where about are you? No snow or ice on the ground unlike round by me.

Thank you.

This was near Bristol. Haven't seen any snow in South Wales either. There were patches of ice though.

 

[Boots]

Definitely linear and angular! That works for me.

 

[Simonbrown16]

I really like that the picture is really close up, works well for the theme

 

[Barney]

That's a great shot, my cup of tea!

 

[Allan.H]

Really well spotted bang on for the theme

 

[-Oy-]

Yep lines and angle for sure

Thanks everyone. I feel it's a stronger start than last years effort, but we'll see how long that lasts

 

[AlanDorset]

That's a really strong start. Spot on.

 

[SimonH]

Very good. Plenty of angles and lines there!

 

[LC2]

Nice strong colours and bang on for the theme

 

[nog]

Definitely meets the theme and some good colour there as well

 

[Kell]

Good take on it and I do like the pops of colour with the red.

 

[Darkslinger]

Looks good, I really like the colours.

 

[Cloudforest]

Nice tight crop and good use of DoF. The colours work well too.

 

[firewireguy]

Thanks everyone. The colours are the result of using DxO Film pack I recently purchased. I flick through the different films until I find something I like. Off the top of my head I can't remember what I used here; probably either a Astia, Provia or Superior variation.

 

[firewireguy]

Getting behind already....

Week 2 - Rust and Decay

 

[Norkie]

Love the colours on that

 

[firewireguy]

Love the colours on that

Thank you. I was suprised when I hung the bag that the colours flowed between the fence and the straps so well

 

[Adamcski]

Some nice colours in there well done

 

[Boots]

Lovely colours and shapes

 

[firewireguy]

[Kell]

Love the change in colour from the top to the sides.

 

[LC2]

I like that.
It puts me in mind of a piston out of an engine. I know it isn't, but...

 

[Darkslinger]

LOL, shapes and colours! Great shot fwg!

 

[Barney]

Nice DOF and colours

 

[AlanDorset]

Strong colours, certainly not complementary colours !

 

[philthejuggler]

Very striking colours on that image!

Week 3 - Windows and Doors

 

[firewireguy]

Week 4 - Something Broken

Luckily the wife managed to break some glass this morning, so I'm right back on schedule

 

[Boots]

A good catch up!

Sorry about the breakage. What was it? I can't tell.

It was one of the glass tops on a chest of draws. Thankfully cheap and replaceable, but a faff to clear up

 

[AlanDorset]

Great inspiration for doors & windows.
Good luck with the clean up!

 

[kanephotos]

Big fan of the glass one. Almost looks like floating sea ice with channels cutting through.

 

[Minx]

A well timed mis hap for the theme it makes for an interesting image

 

[nog]

Like the broken glass shot, like Kane I thought it was ice

 

[Darkslinger]

Great shots FWG

 

[Adamcski]

Bingo - I hope you thanked her for the assistance lol
