The TP52 - 2026 firewireguy 52/26-Week 12 - Daily Life

[Nostromo]

Windows & doors
That's a good photo for the challenge, nice and simple in a good way.

Broken
Luckily it wasn't a mirror, but also very opportune. When I first saw the image I thought it was cracked paint.

 

[LC2]

Doors & Windows - Yup, that works.
Was the close crop intentional or the constraints of the environment?

Something Broken - Glass eh? I thought it might be ice.

 

[Barney]

Thats a great shot and composition.

 

[firewireguy]

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

Thanks. It was a good time to find out the vacuum needs fixing too

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

Thank you

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

I was very fortunate otherwise I'd have been clutching at straws.

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

ice ice baby

Great shots FWG

Thank you

Bingo - I hope you thanked her for the assistance lol

It was that she had to rush out and leave me with it that I most enjoyed

I just need look in a mirror. I should have thought of that.

Doors & Windows - Yup, that works.

Something Broken - Glass eh? I thought it might be ice.

The crop was because I didn't have a wide-wide lens and I was trying to crop out the unsightly bits.

Thats a great shot and composition.

Thank you!

 

[Cloudforest]

Windows and doors: I like the crop.

Something broken: You used the opportunity well. Glad it is nothing too precious though.

Week 5 - Rainy Day

 

[Boots]

Very nice!

 

[firewireguy]

Very nice!

Thank you. Was just a quickly grabbed shot when leaving the house at the right time.

 

[LC2]

The shot works and tells me it was taken outdoors.
I do like the bubbles that the drops have created, they do stand out.

Thanks. It's always fun how if you take a dozen shots of rain in puddles you get a dozen completely different images.

Its tricky knowing how to post process the contrast on an image like this and depending on what screen I'm looking at it on I have a different opinion on it.

 

[nog]

Like the rainy day shot, great bubbles and some big splashes, might have cropped a bit on the RHS

Lovely shot. The rebound - splash on the right, I think a crop and making it the "star of the show" would look great.

 

[Darkslinger]

Good image FWG, really captures the mood of a dreary, rainy day.

Week 6 - Looking Through - Technique - Framing

 

[firewireguy]

Week 7 - Reflections in Water

 

[Norkie]

Good spot that. I'd lose the white container top left though.

 

[Boots]

I really like the reflections shot.

Thanks.
Do you mean the swan?

 

[firewireguy]

I really like the reflections shot.

Thank you. Was a last minute thing taken whilst eating a 99

 

[Norkie]

Thanks.
Do you mean the swan?

Yes sorry, didn't realise! It is a little distracting.

 

[LC2]

Heya.
Not sure what's happening with your shots in the main thread.
I get this.
Not sure what others are seeing

 

[AlanDorset]

At first sight I thought it was a buoy!

I host all my photos on a computer in my garage and I was updating the router earlier today which took it offline for a few hours. It should all be back up now.

 

[Allan.H]

Nice reflection of the rods

 

[Nostromo]

Good reflections.

 

[SimonH]

Ah, Roath Park, always something to see there!

 

[Darkslinger]

I'm liking your 'looking through' shot FWG and your reflections shot is very interesting.

 

[Barney]

Love how the jagged reflections mirror the railing, nice.

 

[Adamcski]

Ah, one of my favourite things to do - fishing. Cannot wait to get the rods out. Well done.

 

[firewireguy]

Week 8 - Vintage Objects

 

[firewireguy]

Week 9 - Time

 

[AlanDorset]

You’ve got the face ! Great highlight

 

[Adamcski]

I like the pop of colour - nicely done

 

[Nostromo]

You've made the clock face really stand out.

 

[philthejuggler]

I think vintage objects is a little weak, but I really like time - well composed and the selective colour works well.

 

[Darkslinger]

Nice shot.

 

[firewireguy]

You’ve got the face ! Great highlight

Thank you

I like the pop of colour - nicely done

Thanks, I haven't done a selective colour out of the shame of it for nearly 20 years

You've made the clock face really stand out.

Cheers

Yeah Vintage was a massive shoehorn and a hot take on town centers

Nice shot.

Thanks muchly

Week 10 - Inspired by a Song

We just got rats as pets - 4 females. This one is called Munch.

And it made me think of one of my favourite Nirvana songs - Return of the Rat.

[firewireguy]

Some weeks are just easier than others. I spent longer than I should have thinking about what I could take a photo of that's red before remembering my latest guitar is bright red.

This is my Harley Benton ST-80 that I use for just Van Halen which it excels at.


Week 11 - Something Red

 

[Nostromo]

That's definitely red, you're unlikely to miss place it. You've created a good composition and well controlled lighting.
