I think that you made the right choice Tim but that first shot really adds some "depth" to the story behind that chosen one...:rolleyes:

I see what you did there ;)

That shot of the layers and layers of paint is great - interesting and I love the colours from it.

As per Allan's comment though. It would have been better with more DoF, but I was shooting wide open due to the light and not having a tripod with me.
I would have upped the ISO and gone for a smaller aperture if I'd realised the DoF was as small as it was - but it looked better on the back of the camera.

Yes, that is many many years worth!
 
I actually came here to comment on how much I liked your chosen shot. I think I still prefer it as a shot - the close up makes it stand out from some of the other topics I've seen so far.

But I love the idea behind the layers of paint. Brilliant little detail.
 
Really like the eye in your first shot and the surrounding colours, wonder when the first layer of paint went on.
 
I do really like the intriguing layers of paint shot Tim. Your chosen shot works well too and I like the placement of the eye in the frame.
 
Teo great pictures but the first is my favourite - Graffiti geology!! Great spot. I like the narrow DoF as it really brings my eye to the layers. Amazing

Thanks. I too preferred the shot I posted of the eye.

That's a very good question. The Sewage works have been out of action since before I moved here in '97, so I suspect many years before that.

I think it would have been better with a greater DoF so that the whole of the paint chip (?) were in focus. The background was far enough away for it to still have been completly OOF.
 
I think This is in my top three from the whole series this week, the tender hand holding in soft candlight does it for me.
 
Beautiful Tim - beautifully lit.

A lovely strong composition Tim and that splash of colour works beautifully.

Nice shot, orange LED has worked well.

Thanks everyone. I made a point of getting a couple of shots like this that I could use for the theme and quite liked how this turned out.
 
It looks like you went back in time for this one, the expression on the model's face is difficult to place but I'm going with derision :ROFLMAO:
 
Nicely framed with the reflection in the mirror, not sure about the flower vase on the book stand :)
 
Thats really good, you could also crop out the reflections for a more conventional portrait but I like it how it is.
 
Up to you usual standard Tim - that's a great portrait.

Yes, I guess I could. But I wanted this shot to have Issy's reflection :)

Lovely composition and lighting Tim.

Lit with a 3' softbox along the wall, but feathered to avoid too much light spillage.

I like that a lot Tim. Very nicely lit and framed.

Week 9 - Horizontal

My last two shots have been a bit meh, but I quite like this one.
Composed with a deliberately large amount of negative space and deliberately non central.
I'm sure most of you will know this vista, but I wonder how often it is shot deliberately off centre vs lining up Tower bridge central Southwark Bridge's central span.
I even managed to capture a South Eastern Class 465 for @-Oy-


Horizontal by Tim White, on Flickr
 
Nice Tim. As you (now) know I work around there, so have been doing a bit of wandering and in such a touristy place, it's hard to even envisage a shot someone hasn't done before, so kudos for doing it.

I used to work in one of the offices in this picture (south side, between The Anchor and the hole where the FT building used to be)...
I doubt the shot hasn't been taken before, but I suspect that most are a central composition so most from this point will have been accidental.
I liked the angle anyway. Much better than a central shot IMO. Tower bridge is far too often the centre of attention.
 
I really like the colour in the speed bird picture and not a familiar vista for me nice shot for horizontal.
 
Nice Speedbird shot Tim - great colors, though I’d have to admit I would have struggled without the caption and a quick Google.
 
Horizontal is very nice shot, lots to see in that (y) . Like speedbird but a bit of a shoehorn though it would have made a good pattern

Cheers Allan. Speedbird is certainly a better image than the moquette.

Living in the shadow of Heathrow, I forget others are less likely to know that Speedbird is the callsign for BA.

Surprisingly I've not posted that many shoehorns this year so far. I must try harder !
