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

I like that, a bit different but I must admit I spent a good while looking for a sexy train driver or porter!
 
FWIW I really quite like the shot - something about the work your brain has to do to fill in the gaps.

Far better than I thought it would...

Meets the theme and interesting subject and for 80,000(y), best not to zoom in too much:)

Agreed !!!

Hits the theme - it's not perfect, but it ticks the box nicely.

Great shot Tim, looks a little like me after a bad night (the one on the left)...
 
Wow, they really put some work in don't they?

I like how cold it feels, and the wordless communication between the subjects.
 
Great shot for the theme, lighting really works as well. Maybe the lettering intrudes a bit but does give context. Is this cosplay or professional promotion?

Really nice capture.

I think my only critique would be the lettering.

I’d be tempted to clone it out.

Far better than the banner that was there (which we moved)

I added the blue light for Ice (Ice & Fire). There are some others with a red shadow light too.

Cosplay. That's Ashley on the left (he does a great Pennywise too) and Dasha is on the right (she was cosplaying Rhaenyra the day before).

That's a nice take on the challenge ;)
 
Inspired by a song
I like the lighting you've achieved and the couple are well posed.
 
Vintage - well done on mastering those conditions to get the train pic. I think asa80000 should be one of the bi monthly tech challengers !
Song- nice picture and lit so well
Time - again very good and liked the juxtaposition with the ‘modern’ satellite dishes.

Quite basic lighting really, but worked nicely for them.

That'll do nicely!

Nice bit of history/nostalgia there, better than dishes everywhere

Yup. There are so few motor factors around these days (but then cars don't break as much either).

Some great urban fragments Tim, I like the little bit of history that you provided in your time shot as well. I see that you have the same problem that I have with red traffic (or in your case "don't walk") lights turning yellow. I still haven't found a way to fix it.
 
Very striking - well done!
 
SimonH said:
Yep, that’s red :LOL:

The light turning orange is probably because I'm shooting into it, so it's over exposed.

Nice one, can understand why it jumped out at you

Week 12 - Daily Life

Just another day in the life of a fashion model.
Shot in the vicinity of St Paul's.
Natural, hard light utilised to light Shilpa's face, everything else being softer light bounced of the surrounding buildings.

Never be afraid to use hard light in portraits where it can give you dramatic looks.

It’s a good use of the light, and she uses it well. I liked the picture in Flikr where she is reflected in the window
 
Great shot Tim. I like the use of the light. It gives it a little grit and a little drama.
 
That's quite a dynamic POV. I do like the hard light, but I think if it were me, I'd remove the two bright light spots on the wall to the left of Shilpa.
 
Really interesting lighting on the model - makes for a striking portrait.
