Daily Sarah's 365 31st December 2013 - The End! (CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE ACTUALLY FINISHED!!)

[shotokan101]

I like the idea - not so keen on the execution - a bit too "linear" in composition with the Dino's I feel

Thanks Brian

Jim, hubby agrees with you & I know what you mean. I wanted them in a row sort of posing for the photo, but using a shallow DOF I still wanted them all in focus, just couldn't think of any other way of doing this set up. Trying another one today, they are all coming into work with me.

Excellent shot Sarah. I also like the cabbages shot.

Only other way I think might have been to frig a tilt-shift effect off-axis or something ?

JIM!!!! Are you suggesting I resort to witchery!!

 

[shotokan101]

JIM!!!! Are you suggesting I resort to witchery!!

Yeah - like you'll be telling me you're a reformed character next....

 

[whipspeed]

Me, reformed! Never!

Trick or Treat

Roary & Sid took Waif & Stray out trick or treating as a distraction tactic when they were hunting. When the door opened & the giant stepped out they couldn't believe their luck. If we pull this one off we'll eat like kings for the next 12 months!

now that's much more like it - classic

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Jim, hubby agreed with you. He says the story is what makes it as well for him.

 

[vince31]

Brilliant concept yet again Sarah

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

Great stuff! - I Love your stories Sarah. The perspective really sells this one. Top Marks from me!

 

[JakeT1992]

The story does indeed make it. Good work.

Fire Demon

Patterns in fire are always a matter of luck. Think I hit the jackpot with this one

lovely shot

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Jim

 

[TimmyG]

Dinosaurs and fire! Just 2 of the many reasons I love your thread. Dinosaurs in fancy dress just takes it to the next level...

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

Wow. Freaky! Love it.

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks both

Eye Eye

Just a quick shot today as we've been out for a family day out to Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds & Norwich. This was from a statue in the middle of Norwich.

Great shot of the fire but my fav. from the recent ones has to be "Autumn bits & bobs"

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Jeff, that's my favourite as well. I was really pleased to have it accepted on 1x as well.

 

[shotokan101]

love that last one Sarah

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Jim

Dead tree, stormy skies.

Popped over to Overstone with Simon this afternoon & we found this great old tree on a hill.

[shotokan101]

really like that - great sky - nice processing - and that tree is fantastic

 

[whipspeed]

Thamks Jim, we were just driving off & the sky turned good, so we went back. I will probably use this tree again.

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

I do like this Sarah. Can't seem to click like on my phone though!

 

[shotokan101]

nicely captured - great composition

 

[Sonriendo]

I do like this, but looking at it again, I might be inclined to lose the bright green leaf and just keep to muted tones :shrug:

 

[shotokan101]

I like the contrast that adds...

Tyrannosaurus Chickenus Rex

Got this chicken for Simon years ago when he was about 5 & he saw it in a craft gallery & said he liked the tyrannosaurus chicken.

[shotokan101]

Jeez that's weird and sort of creepy.....

 

[shotokan101]

.....I do rather like it though - nicely processed too

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Jim, it is certainly a weird chicken. Simon just loved it when he was little.

 

[shotokan101]

...certainly looks like he's sucked all the juice out of it

 

[Brian_of_Bozeat]

I'm Loving these recent pics Sarah, the latest one is quite strange (I like strange btw). Keep it up.

 

[TimmyG]

Agree that is a weird looking chicken, but love the lighting and textures in that image.

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks, glad you all like Rex the chicken, he is a little weird looking though, I have to agree.
