Project 52....by Kennysarmy + week 27 Highlight

and we're off.....

52.1 = Reflection...

seriousrikk · 11 Jan 2009

NIce - tell me you got two mirrors there.
Something about this that messes with my head

jgs001 · 11 Jan 2009

Very nice

Good implementation. I'm with Richard about the two mirrors, the Easyvision bottle in the foreground is lying, there's nothing easy about that

SimonTALM · 11 Jan 2009

Definately one that messes with the head - very good

Gary.D · 11 Jan 2009

Great shot mate
Some nice ideas coming through really liking them!

I agree. Great sharp capture. :clap:

kitten · 12 Jan 2009

very clever

Duckydoodle · 12 Jan 2009

Well spotted. Great capture. Welcome and good luck with the rest

Well done,

kennysarmy · 18 Jan 2009

Had a few ideas for this one...
But in the end went with the obvious, the most historic building in Gloucester.

jeangenie · 18 Jan 2009

I like the mono treatment - fits the subject. It has the look of an old postcard and it took me a while to work out what it was - an absence of yellow lines, traffic and as far as I can see, modern street furniture such as lamp posts and pillar boxes. Well observed.

Week 3.

Learning her spellings....

jgs001 · 24 Jan 2009

Superb History shot, as Jean said, nothing modern there at all. That spellings shot is also really good for Learning. Love the DOF you got, that really works well.

Duckydoodle · 24 Jan 2009

Like the history shot. B&W conversion works well and the image fits the theme perfectly. Really like this weeks shot. Great interpretation. Lovely capture. Good dof, nice detail and lovely colours :clap:

Dark Star · 24 Jan 2009

Damn I missed these

So in catching up...

The reflection - a nice slice of infinity - meets the brief several times over

History - yep that image is steeped in it

I think a touch more contrast would have improved the image a touch but nice enough

Learning - lovely image - super viewpoint and a really great dof that really works for me and hits the subject spot on :clap:

jeangenie · 24 Jan 2009

This looks like an 'action' shot - not posed for the camera. You can look at her hand and imagine the concentration on her face. Beautiful and spot on for the theme. :clap:

Jean

SimonTALM · 24 Jan 2009

Fantastic, the DoF is perfect, was this done in camera or with PP?

kitten · 24 Jan 2009

that's a lovely image - well done

all in camera - with the nifty fifty....some slight PP to white-balance and levels no cropping or DoF alterations...darkened the corners slightly (did you notice? lol)

cheers

seriousrikk · 25 Jan 2009

I agree with the above, perfect DF on the learning shot there. Very good & imaginative.
Did you take a shot where you included all her hand, I can't help noticing the two clipped knuckles (May just be me though)

Daysleeper40 · 25 Jan 2009

I wish I got to these threads sooner as I just end up repeating what others have said!

ANYWAY - I like the composition of the History shot but agree that it could do with a bit more contrast. The learning shot is great in that it doesn't actually look posed but you have managed to get the tricky things like DOF spot on

Bruja · 25 Jan 2009

Yet another week 2 I missed

It definitely fits the brief and I agree it could do with a little more contrast - but that's why we do this isn't it

It would probably look good in sepia too.

And your learning shot, what can I say, great subject, great DoF, great interpretation. Definitely your best yet :clap:

corky · 25 Jan 2009

Love week 3 , great DOF :clap:

Graulges · 25 Jan 2009

Yep, me too, great image for learning. The DOF and the hand in action make it a lovely shot. :clap:

Yep, me too.

Nice that you have managed to persuade another human into your shot. Have to agree with everything that others have said.

kennysarmy · 26 Jan 2009

OK I took the hint LOL

thanks for the nice week 3 comments - very much appreciated.

plumbjob · 27 Jan 2009

Nice shot for learning, I could never do that as never see daughter doing her homework :shrug:

kelack · 27 Jan 2009

THe first one confused me for a while there :lol:

Liking the dof on the learning one

Week 4

Would popping a balloon give you a surprise???

Yes, definitely. I'm on edge the whole time I'm in the same room as a balloon - even if it's safely hanging up out of reach. And when the grandchildren play with them I'm a nervous wreck. Party poppers are ok, but balloons are waaaaaay too unpredictable for me. :help:

:baby:

It's an excellent shot - very simple and effective and fills the brief very well. I like the way the pin is, well, pin sharp, and the balloon is softer. :clap:

Jean

Dark Star · 1 Feb 2009

Oh that is so minimal and effective!

The slight indent in the balloon looks so effective! Cracking shot! Love it!

:clap:

seriousrikk · 1 Feb 2009

I like what you did there, would be a struggle to work out what was going to happen without the caption mind - real balloon?

Real balloon....

I'd love to have had an off camera flash for this shot...but sadly funds have just been plunged in to a sigma 10-20....maybe later in the year

SimonTALM · 2 Feb 2009

Great image love the effect of the sharp pin and soft edge of the balloon, I bet you went though a few balloons making this image. Have you tried any other colours of balloon and different positions of the pin (e.g. vertical / horizontal, centre / 3rds etc) to see if this makes a difference to the image?

kitten · 2 Feb 2009

that is brilliant. Anticipation captured!

jgs001 · 2 Feb 2009

brilliant and fits the theme really well

Graulges · 3 Feb 2009

Simple, effective image nicely done. :clap:

Says it all for me too - excellent interpretation :clap:

Week 5 : Opposites

Dark Star · 5 Feb 2009

Clever, clever

!! And well done - how many takes to get it looking that good may I ask

How did you time/shoot this to include the writing AND your good self? (I assume thats you

)
