Thanks Dave

A very original take on the theme.

Thanks Paul, I thought it might be a bit of a shoe horn but google, eventually , confirmed it was a valid name

 

[Darkslinger]

Excellent choice for the challenge Keith, you've captured the scene very well.

 

[AlanDorset]

Very nicely done, good subject choice

 

[Allan.H]

Good subject matter something a bit different, pity about the amount of water flow.

 

[Cloudforest]

That's a good fit for the theme Keith and a good way to squeeze in the tech too.

Thanks Allan, yes it’s very low ATM

That's a good fit for the theme Keith and a good way to squeeze in the tech too.

Thanks Pete, yes better not leaving tech to the last week though

Nice shot Keith. Any salmon there? (Asking as we have a local salmon leaps and there’s never ever been any salmon in there!)

Week 18 Geometric

To stop an invasion force getting off the beaches and heading inland, large trapezoid blocks were constructed at Fairbourne. In all, 691 concrete tank obstacles were built, weighing around two tonnes each. They stretch over 2,400 metres along the coast to the Mawddach Estuary. They were fabricated from local stones and pebbles encased in concrete by local men, women and boys under the supervision of the Royal Engineers. Some of the blocks are inscribed with the names or initials of their creators, including a Betty Price.

Barmouth viaduct
Barmouth viaduct is Grade II listed and is around 700 metres long and has wooden trestles supported by cast iron piers. It is one of the longest wooden viaducts in the UK.

A nice set. I may have been tempted to go with the close up of the bridge section of the viaduct... it seems more geometric.

 

[Allan.H]

A good set all on theme

Yep they do the job nicely

Thanks Paul, I was going to use the close up as its more geometric but then thought the background looked a bit busy

[BobBCN]

Great set and your chosen shot works really well.

 

[AlanDorset]

Thats a great bridge.

A tighter crop on the concrete structures might have worked?

 

[Darkslinger]

Good set Keith, I like #1 the best, the blocks lead the viewer deeper into the image.

Thanks Alan, will have a look at that.

Thanks Bill, yes it’s a pretty good leading line.

 

[Cloudforest]

A good interesting set Keith and I like the one you've chosen the best.

Visited the Fleet air arm museum at Yeovilton and got a few pics

Concorde, not much symmetry from this angle but.. it is Concorde

A nice set, shame you couldn't have got a better angle for Concorde.

Nice set - love No3

 

[Darkslinger]

Beautiful shot Keith. Really like the colours. I think that you've chosen the best for the theme.

Thanks Paul, lots of stuff on display and IIRC there is a harrier jet on top of a platform blocking the view

Nice set - love No3

Cheers Paul

Thanks Bill, makes a change me picking the right shot

Week 20 Light and dark

Spent a few days near Okehampton so had a wander on Dartmoor

[Boots]

That certainly works! Nice shallow DoF.

That certainly works! Nice shallow DoF.

Thanks Paul, yes the 135mm 1.8 gives nice DOF. I keep thinking I should swap it for a more flexible 70-200 but then the 70-200 is bigger, heavier and not 1.8

I'm a big fan of prime lenses

Apparently excessive white markings on a Dartmoor pony are “ discouraged “, according to the Dartmoor Pony Society, although how you can discourage how an animals coat turns out is a mystery……

Sounds a bit ominous for a pony with white markings
The mare pictured had a foal which didn’t have any white markings …yet

Fab Dobbin shot. Would suit a fully kitted up Apache

Thanks Dave, not sure the Apache would like Dartmoor come winter

Top spot for the theme!

Great eye Keith. Really nice shot.
