I'm currently thinking Abandoned ... a three legged van gogh chair would be too much to find but something similar in B&W or HDR.
I've just realised I've gone and eaten the props for this weeks topic ....my abandoned diet![]()
Would that be the Manx diet?and with three legs at least it's a balanced diet...
A nice walk around Gloucester yesterday.... So much abandonment![]()
Hah! I have no idea why! [emoji23]Well I had the grand daughter over for a couple of days and suggested we take her shopping, then run off and leave her and then I sneak back and get a photo of her looking lost and confused....the wife suggested that I find something else...

Yeh but were you going to tell her it was for your TP52?I had a similar idea of taking Isabelle to a bus stop with a suitcase when it's dark and photographing her from the other side of the road![]()

Yes, and it would have cost me £10 as it always does![]()

Its in the thread labelled
How too's, guidelines and linky's for TP52 class of 2016,
its in the 365 / 52 section, locked almost at the top

Seriously, how on earth was I supposed to know that a linky to DK's TP52 spreadsheet was going to be in a thread for TP52 linkies, eh? (My wife uses the term "hidden in plain sight" a lot with me, for some reason...) Thanks![]()
Not only that its also on page one of the sign up thread, I guess no one RTFM these days![]()
I think that most males do TBHSorry, I had any ability to read a manual removed at puberty![]()
However, on a more positive note, my new (replacement) strobe arrived this morning courtesy of Lencarta. (Well, technically, courtesy of me wiring the appropriate amount of money to them, but you get the idea...)

ExcellentAnd - importantly - it arrived with a new, FAR more substantial and stable stand. Having tested it, I can confirm it doesn't fall over when my softbox is attached... so a big improvement in both its expected life and in the health & safety stakes!
Just... cheers, just been one of them days, and just learned I have to do 8 hr 450 mile round trip for a 2 hour meeting tomorrow, it's going to be one of them weeks :bang:You ok Dean?
He's just remembered he shoots Canon![]()

from one Canon shooter to another, Just say the word Dean, and he's history
Look on the bright side - it might give you some options for AbandonedJust... cheers, just been one of them days, and just learned I have to do 8 hr 450 mile round trip for a 2 hour meeting tomorrow, it's going to be one of them weeks :banghead:

Thanks Chris... best let him be, I think his choice of camera is already enough for him to bear, he needs to vent his frustration at timesfrom one Canon shooter to another, Just say the word Dean, and he's history![]()
All hope for getting a days work done yesLook on the bright side - it might give you some options for Abandoned![]()

If you are sure? TBH I do agree with you though, that is a huge cross to bearThanks Chris... best let him be, I think his choice of camera is already enough for him to bear, he needs to vent his frustration at times![]()
Best idea that mate, I always have my camera gear in the boot of my car, you just never know !!!Well, the moral of the story for today: sometimes when you think all inspiration has gone and you're getting stuck for a theme... you spot something.
Very fortunately, I decided to take my camera with me on a trip to a potential client today (left it in the car for the meeting, of course!) and it turned out there were a host of opportunities as the weather improved markedly on the way there. Bye bye Storm Henry!
So I need to make sure I keep it with me in future... just in case. Let that be a lesson to you all!
