The TP52 - 2026 LC2's Shoe Horns for 2026: Week 12 - Daily Life

[LC2]

Week One - Lines & Angles

Three Bridges in Hanwell where Windmill Lanes crosses the Grand Union Canal which in turn is crossing the GWR Branch from Southall to Brentford.

Nice capture with lots of angles. Looks like you did a bit of parkour to get to that vantage point. I'm imagining you holding on with your legs dangling trying to get the shot

 

[SimonH]

That works well Tim.

I'd like to say yes, but actually that was taken from the towpath.

That works well Tim.

Ta.

 

[NickD]

I really like the light and shadow, and the range of textures. It has a real sense of depth too.

 

[Boots]

A good shot, it works well.

I grew up in Ealing, but never went to that location

Lovely shot Tim. Of course, it needs a train!

Lovely shot Tim. Of course, it needs a train!

It does. However given the frequency and timings of the services on this line I doubt I'll catch one.
Here's an example from RTT.
I have actually travelled along the line on the Steam Rail Motor, on the 19th Oct 2014, which was the last time there was a passenger service over the route.

It really sells the cold winter day doesn't it. (2pm and it was still icy on the towpath).

A good shot, it works well.

It's a bit of a trek out of Ealing though I guess.

 

[Adamcski]

Nice image that ticks the box for the lines and angles. Textures work well and add to the image (IMO).

 

[Allan.H]

That works but shouldn't you be posting it in august

 

[LC2]

That works but shouldn't you be posting it in august

That's very true. Don't worry, Cosplay Event season starts again in 3 weeks, so I'll be back to posting randomly shortly

 

[Simonbrown16]

Great picture, it does look like you've done a bit of climbing to get that shot.

 

[Barney]

That's got it all, train lines nice and the light framing the arch brickwork is appealing.

 

[AlanDorset]

Oh yes, that really works.

More likely to be swimming / paddling (but maybe not in this weather)

[Kell]

Nice work Tim.

Nice shot, the railway makes it

 

[TomD13]

I love the composition of this, with the railway being framed. It’s almost a little like the one I took this morning. Great photo, thank you for sharing!

 

[Darkslinger]

Really well composed Tim, I like it.

 

[Cloudforest]

I really like that Tim. A good tight crop and nicely positioned railway lines.

 

[LC2]

Nice work Tim.

Ta

Cheers. Yes, I wanted those in for the 'lines' part of the theme

Week Two - Rust & Decay

If you look closely enough there is some rust on the frame of the telephone box and the wood of the door has decayed.
There may be other distractions in this shot

[JackBell]

If you'd cropped below the knees i think the rust would have had more impact.

Ah, but I would have lost the decay

 

[SimonH]

I thought the colour scheme being worn, matched the theme nicely and enhances the rusty, decaying telephone box.

 

[Barney]

What telephone box?

Nice.

 

[AlanDorset]

I wondered about a crop to the bottom of the shot, too. Good decay!

 

[Darkslinger]

LOL, at least she's wearing "rust" colours...

 

[Adamcski]

Nice capture. Well done

 

[nog]

Colour coordinated, nice idea

Jurga's outfit does match the theme, but that was really a happy co-incidence.

What telephone box?

Nice.

Exactly

I wondered about a crop to the bottom of the shot, too. Good decay!

Why would I want to ruin a perfectly good shoe horn by being on subject for the theme?

LOL, at least she's wearing "rust" colours...

Nice capture. Well done

Colour coordinated, nice idea

I'm getting far too much credit for the colour match

 

[Cloudforest]

I like the composition Tim and you did well to spot the rust!

 

[Kell]

Knowing your proclivities for Comic Con, I thought it entirely possible it was a character(s) called Rust and Decay.

I think it works well. Doesn't have to be the main focus.

Always check the corners of the frame

You know that I would have if possible But no, I don't know of any comic cons this early in the year (MegaCon Dublin is this coming weekend).
Jorga is a fashion model and this was taken on a fashion walkabout, run by the designer Pierre Garroudi, that I often occasionally go to when I've got a free weekend.

 

[NickD]

I think you've just set the bar for shoehorns!

I like the pose, and the outfit, and it works well with the Telephone box. It's like a posh tourist shot.

 

[Simonbrown16]

I am definitely distracted!

I'm sure I can go further

I am definitely distracted!

Week Three - Windows and Doors

I haven't produced a triptych for quite a while.
These shots were taken on or around Sloane Street, close to Kensington Station.

Nicely done.

Where do you get your models ?
