Good luck on this Jon, sounds easy but I bet it isn't . I dunno how Dave stuck with that 365 but he did, this will be a doddle for him I reckon.

Thanks m8, yes i agree dave will think this a walk in the park, good look with your Macro side of this 52

 

[CGeezer]

Best of luck Jon. Looking forward to this now

 

[andy_fozzy]

Good luck matey, I'll be following

 

[ianhl]

hope it goes well, just started a 365 which seems daunting after one day

 

[jollyjack]

Thanks all, already got so many ideas going round in my head for week one, might just have photo them all and use the best, could take all week

 

[jollyjack]

Ok will jump straight in this week with my curved image.

I went to Portchester Castle and climb up this stair case to the roof, as i got half way up i was wondering what the curve of the stair case would look like from different angles,i had taken some from the step on the right but i think this was the best.

What i learnt was to look about abit a view it from differnt angle and points of view.

Hope you like it.

For the B&W lovers

oops need something to hold on to - I don't do heights
rope gives a nice lead in, as does the central column

 

[Deleted member 3428]

Nice one Jon, that is quite a narrow staircase too if I remember correctly

 

[Squawk]

Oooh nice idea, I like it, I'm sure I can have much fun falling down that.

 

[jollyjack]

Thanks everyone for the great comments

I did hang onto the rope most of the way up

that is quite a narrow staircase too if I remember correctly

It is m8, and i am not the smallest of chaps

I'm sure I can have much fun falling down that.

I near fell down when taking of the shots, its that narrow and steep it gives you a falling feeling when on way down, well it did for me

 

[kapawayna]

Nice one it's making me dizzy looking down and i want to jump. The rope does lead you in well.

 

[Briony]

Good photo but not for someone who suffers from vertigo :shake::shake:

 

[Darkmage]

Nice shot mate. I can't help but think it might have a bit more punch with maybe a high contrast B&W conversion? To try and really bring out the texture in the stone.

 

[ShrubMonkey]

Nice shot Jon, I used the same castle and same stairs in my 365 last year http://www.flickr.com/photos/shrubmonkey/4230566553/in/set-72157623106178888/

 

[jollyjack]

Thanks all for your kind and constructive comments

You do feel abit funny when looking down

but not for someone who suffers from vertigo :shake::shake:

Then you know not to go there

Thanks, Added a B&W to photo post

Now isn't that strange, I was only about half way up, maybe taking from the top would be better, no brakes in the walls to side rooms

Liking the mono!

 

[CGeezer]

The B&W version is my favourite of the two. I'm still trying to think what to photograph as I don't think they have anything curved upt' north

 

[drfrallyphotos]

Great view point, the rope really leads the eye down, as does the stairs. You really get the sense of coming down them

 

[Darkmage]

Def the B&W

 

[Nick T]

Very nice PoV

 

[daddy day care]

Like it. I was trying to think of any buildings near me with curving staircases before you posted this. Need another idea now :bang:

Thanks Andy and Sorry i got in there first with the stair case thing

 

[daddy day care]

No problem. I have a couple of other ideas.

On nights until Tuesday so can't get any photos done anyway

Great Image Jon, I prefer the B&W one, makes me feel quite as I do not do hieghts and have a slight (read great) fear of spiral staircases.

Cheers dave, sorry it makes you feel funny m8

 

[The23rdman]

Mono version for me without a doubt. It has so much more texture.

 

[Ambermile]

Nice one, I prefer the BW I think - can't look too long though

Arthur

thanks for your comments, the looking at it for long periods of time thing seems to be a thing commented on alot, will make sure next weeks images dont have this effect

 

[RobC]

B&W for me. It also makes me dizzy if I look at it for too long

 

[Ambermile]

Nono - to get a solid response like that, people would sell their soul! It's a great pic and the fact it moves people, to me at least, proves it.

Cheers Arthur, i would sell my soul to be a good photographer, your comments about responses is right it is great that people feel this way, it give me hope.

 

[SarahLee]

Wow! That shot's got some real impact

Welcome to the 52 Jon and what a fantastic start!
I think both versions have merit, but the contrasty B&W just nudges it for me . . . although I do love the warmth of the colour version.

Yes it's making me dizzy, but I love this shot
Your only problem now is that you've set the bar so high to start with that you've got a lot to live up to in the rest of your 52

 

[kimo]

Nice start to your 52, Yes it does make you feel dizzy I do like the B&W one the best

The Submariner

I was born on a submarine
I only know what I'm told
About what I've never seen
About warmth and cold.
I was taught to think logically
But I've been beaten too many times
I must hold to sanity
I must worship the sun, the sun.

They told me yesterday
The mechanic is dead
Our vessel is far too deep
Might spring a leak they said.
I know one thing for sure
I do not want to die
Not in this metal house
Not until my eyes have seen the sun.

I live in a submarine
I worship a sun I've never seen.
I live in a submarine
I worship the sun, I do believe.

I do believe...

It's far too late

 

[Nick T]

Quite a poignant poem, mirrored nicely with the selective colouring on the poppy. Nicely done

 

[EdBray]

Week 1: I really like the monochrome version of your image. Very well handled!

Week 2: Very poignant and well thought out!

 

[Deleted member 3428]

Very Good Jon, a fitting image for such a poem
