weekly Flyphots 52 for 2021: Week 52 'Showcase'

Week 43 - 'Halloween' + Tech 'Free Lensing'

This is an image of a cardboard cut out skeleton we have at home, it has luminous paint on it in various places and this image was made in a darkened room under a UV light, which made the luminous paint shine out a bit. I've also (finally) managed to get the Free Lensing tech cracked with this one, it just seemed to fit the image.

 
Yep - works a treat (or trick lol)
 
Creepy. Would make a great album cover!

Really like Irregular. Reminds me of a two-face project I did. Three self portraits, the first was me, the second was the same portrait cut in half with the left side of my face flipped and re-attached in PS. The third was the right side of my face. All were quite different, and proved that our faces are quite irregular! That said, it's a lovely pet portrait. Crisp & clean.

Thanks Ian, much appreciated. It's funny, I don't like seeing pictures of myself taken as a 'selfie' as the phone mirrors the image and we do indeed look different, and are most certainly not symmetrical .
 
Week 44 Underneath the lid + tech 'Composite'

Well, it was all I could think of with my limited time this week and getting the tech in early.

 
Made me smile.

I think it would be nice to have tried it with water and some movement so it looks like the (your?) head was being flushed away. But I think that might be beyond my PP skills.

Halloween - I missed that, but it's a really nice shot. The free-lensing does give it a more ethereal feeling.

Cheers. I did think about swirling water but, as with you that's more than my skill with software goes to be honest, but I gave it a go just to see what it would come out like, here it is ...\

very funny composite good use of your limited time
 
LOL very clever Jim :)
 
That definitely raised a laugh, not just a smile. Very good!
 
Week 45 Snapper's Choice

A juvenile Buzzard in the field behind my house (being very noisy!)

 
Lovely looking budgie Jim and well shot!
 
I like the buzzard, one of my favourite birds and a bit of a spirit animal for me -- a loner always getting picked on by seagulls!

just to add, and to keep in the spirit, this location is at the 'back (of)' the beach, which is the back beach at Exmouth. :) (y)
 
I can see you have made the most of the sky although I feel the body pf the picture could be a little brighter, of course it could be my old, dim eyes :)

Thanks, I exposed for the brightest part, which is the transom of the boat, and planned to have the hull falling into shadow as I felt it reflected the time of day better. I know it looks a it darker on one of my screens, and brighter on my wife's screen so it could be down to differences there I suppose.

Ah that would be the back of the boat.... :clap: You've managed not to blow the highlights although it does also look a tad dark on my screen, but there again I do keep my brightness low.

Lots of backs in there, but I confess I didn't immediately spot it. The colourful buoy with the bright reflection makes a nice focal point.

Thank you both
 
The light on the Buzzard is nice, I like how it picks it out against the dark area of the frame. I like the tones in the boat shot, late autumn light, both warm and cold.

Thanks Nick, much appreciated
 
A nice capture... the exposure shouts low winter sun at me - its that time of year.
