It certainly ticks the theme.

Week 45 - Snapper's Choice.

Taken on my walk to work through Regent's Park.

Took several clean versions, but I set my self up with some vegetation in the foreground to dirty the frame a bit with some blur. Preferred that version, so here it is.

The Flickr link says it was taken on a Sony, but it wasn't - I think that must be happening with the black frame I set up in Photoshop.

That's a beauty - and I like the oof bits

 

[Boots]

That is very nice!

Thanks Dave. I agree, the other shots were nice enough, but I did feel the OOF bits added a little something.

That is very nice!

Thanks Paul. Happened to be lucky that morning as I don't normally carry a lens that long in to work and back.

Week 46 - Intricate.

Picked up this cap when in New York earlier this year.

The 3D stitching is pretty intricate.

[Boots]

That certainly works for the theme - works well in mono.

 

[-Oy-]

Lovely intricate detail

 

[SimonH]

Gorgeous heron shot Kell, and spot on with the Intricate shot

 

[AlanDorset]

That cap has great texture

 

[BobBCN]

Certainly intricate stitching and neat texture. Perfect on the theme.

 

[Kell]

Ancient - is 1710 ancient enough?

If not, then I’ll claim it on the fact that it’s a religious building and religion is ancient.

View from our new office.

iPhone 14.

The ancient tucked away amongst the modern, nice view I must say.

 

[SimonH]

That’s a pretty decent view to be fair

How to tell us you work in the Doggetts without saying it

Not quite.

Thankfully.

We’ve just moved out of a beautiful art deco building in Camden, to a much more modern building, but in a much nicer part of town.

So Doggets is pretty much next door - we’re in Sea Containers.

Week 48 - Numbers.

Won't forget which floor I'm on in our new office.

[SimonH]

Well that's certainly different!

 

[Boots]

Wow, that's quite subtle

 

[AlanDorset]

That's brilliant !

iPhone shot as the only other camera I had with me was a PAS Film camera.

Baker Street sign which is in a CIRCLE, but is also on the CIRCLE line.

Took a few but preferred this one as it was more graphic.

[SimonH]

Nice clean shot Kell!

 

[Kell]

Thanks Simon.

 

[Boots]

Baker Street sign which is in a CIRCLE, but is also on the CIRCLE line.

Oh, I see what you did there!

Lovely shot! Shame about the thing they removed above it. But I really like it.

Thanks Paul.

I did consider removing it, but thought against it.

 

[Kell]

This is what I was playing with - which makes for a cleaner shot:

Nice take on it Kell. The edit does the job nicely

 

[BobBCN]

I like the take of your circle on the Circle line. I guess it appeals to my something or other.

 

[Kell]

Thanks both.

Week 50 - Decorations

Tried a couple of things here. One, simple version with just a flash to light the Santa in the foreground and a narrow exposure to get some starbursts in the background.

Then tried a version (again with a flash to freeze the Santa) then pull the zoom during the exposure.

[Boots]

Two good versions, I think the zoom version is very good.

 

[-Oy-]

Excellent pix Kell

 

[BobBCN]

The pulled zoom version works for me. I have tried that in the past, but you need a steady hand for sure.

Thanks Bob. My hands aren't steady enough. I used a tripod.

 

[SimonH]

Lovely Kell. Drawn a little more towards the second zoomed one.

 

[Kell]

Thanks all.

WEEK 51 - ENTERTAINING

Not everyone's cup of tea (or eggnog) but I love watching the squirrels pelt around our garden. I find them very ENTERTAINING.
