Hi everyone, i've been reading the TP forums for a little while now and thought it was time to contribute something and also give myself a challenge! I'm not committed enough for the 365 but thought i'd give the 52 a go this year. I'm hoping to learn along the way so any C&C is appreciated.

I'm nearly 2 weeks late starting so will hopefully get the first couple of pictures up very soon! :)

Next post will be week 1 - curves...

Week one looks good... it's not a show stopper, but it fufills the brief nicely. :thumbs:
 
Hi 68lbs, thanks for the kind comment. You're right, it definitely isn't a show stopper!

I wasn't completely happy with it but wanted to get a start on my first 52. Got my first DSLR late last year and wanted something to push me forwards with it, so here I am :)

Took a quick look at your first week of the 52 and it's certainly impressive, great composition.
 
Hi Paul, I quite like it, it's clearly curved, and fits the theme well.A little more DOF would help I think, bringing all the coins into sharp focus.
 
Hi John, thanks for the comment, any suggestions are more than welcome :-)

I took at least 20 shots at various angles and f-stops to try and get one i liked! lol

I ended up picking this one as I liked it the best. I did have one at about f16 that had the whole of the coins in focus but it seemed a little plain. I liked this one in the end as it emphasised just part of the curves.

I think i'd have liked to have made the background completely white, the pic is as taken with the camera's built-in flash as I don't have an external one at the moment.
 
I'm still playing catchup after a late start but here is week 2 - Poetry!

I found this week a tough one to get started on, it took quite some time to come up with an idea.
 
Here we go, week 2 is a major improvment!
I really like that Paul!
The background colour works well with the colour of the straps. And the white face is really strong.
I would possibly have the outside of the face in focus a bit more though.
And I would rethink your font selection, and possibly the colour? For the text.

Well done though, you have stepped it up a gear this week :thumbs:
 
Hi Paul,

week 1 - fits the theme well, very effective.

week 2 - very good :thumbs: but as mentioned already the clock face, more focused and the type face, how about "times" that would work upper and lower (aptly named)
 
Really good take Paul, the poem is good and the watch sets it off nicely. The colours work well, but having the face all in focus would have been a bit better.
 
I was wrong... maybe it was a show stopper... the show seems to have stopped... we are no more... the thread is dead... deceased... no more pics! :(
