weekly NCF15s 52 for 2020 Wk 52 Decorate

[Shugpug]

Very nice - surely it has B&W film loaded and that will count..?

Your small splashes of colour make the image.

Week 21 Liquid
Coffee cup by Nick Dallimore, on Flickr

 

[Shugpug]

Very colourful cup! Nicely composed, but I think the asymmetric spoon is a little jarring with the rest of it being symmetrical. Lovely lighting!

 

[BobBCN]

I really like your takes on MUSIC (spot on angle and dof ) and OLD (nicely set up and again a good choice of angle)

 

[DowntonMini]

Nice take on Liquid love the cup. I like the lighting

 

[Phil S]

Both old and liquid work well.

 

[LC2]

What did you do with the lighting to give the shot the lighter section around the cup?
I'm seeing "flash on" in the exif. Was it a snoot?

 

[seaodyssey]

Nice Image Nick, Not sure about the spoon, but overall it works well with the brightened background.

Nice cuppa - the spoon fits in fine for me.

 

[Bebop]

Also undecided about the spoon but love the funky cup!

 

[CliveH]

Nice composition and lighting on what is a classy cup.

 

[vanishedbob]

Like this a lot. Spoon is fine and the colours of the cup, the brown of the tea go well against the black background.

Week 22 a household item
20200602-IMG_0306-Edit by Nick Dallimore, on Flickr
Although it's B&W as the subject is without colour I don't think it's in the spirit of the challenge to claim it as a technical.

 

[-Oy-]

Super shot Nick. Has a certain anthropomorphism to it!

 

[Cloudforest]

Lovely shot Nick. I like the PoV and the symmetry.

 

[Scots_quine]

Lovely shot. It looks like a monster!

 

[Phil S]

Great reflections and symmetry.

 

[Cobra]

Has a certain anthropomorphism to it!

LOL now you mention it, it looks like a demeted robot

As above, good reelections and symmetry Nick

 

[Nostromo]

Very good. I like the symmetry and simplicity.

 

[DowntonMini]

Very nice a simple and effective image.

 

[CliveH]

Excellent composition, very symetrical and what a nice shiny tap.

 

[LC2]

I was wondering if this was also for the technique, but I can see that there is actually a couple of spots of colour in the shot.
I can't work out if it's stacked or not, it certainly seems to have a deep DoF.

 

[Bebop]

I like the symmetry and you did well not to get your reflection in it.

 

[brrnd]

Great shot of a household item! I like the symmetry and neatness.

 

[vanishedbob]

Looks like it's saying "SURPRISE!!!" in the same manner as the famous drunken fighting octopus coat hook! Great shot.

Week 23 Hidden & Technique B&W
Egg by Nick Dallimore, on Flickr
Early inspiration this week.

 

[LC2]

Nicely done / lit.
It kind of looks like a shot of the moon hence the lack of shadow/reflection actually suits it.

 

[Cobra]

It kind of looks like a shot of the moon

The dark side of the egg?


Nicely thought out Nick, it works well.

 

[CliveH]

As Tim said, moon like, nice lighting.

 

[Roxanne Withy]

This is so simple but so effective. Egg-cellent work!

 

[Shugpug]

Really nicely done - perfect control over the lighting.

 

[DowntonMini]

Simple and effective I really like it. The lighting is perfect

 

[Cloudforest]

Lovely lighting and hint of a reflection.

 

[HelenC]

The simple images are often the best. Great idea, nicely executed.

 

[Nostromo]

Hidden
Good reflection and lighting.

 

[vanishedbob]

Great shot. Lit perfectly.

[Cobra]

Nice set Nick, mating Damsels for me, as they are sadly lacking around my pond this year for some reason.

 

[CliveH]

Nice set of pictures, I never seem to get them still long enough to focus on them.

 

[Baloo]

I really like the lighting on your egg shot and the macro shots are superb.
