No great camera angles (too many cars going by).

Living under the M4 at Chiswick..



Just beat to this theme, on how others not as fortunate as us live

The ability for anybody to capture "life" through photography always has and always will fascinate me. It's simple images like this that have true feeling alongside them & are in my opinion most memorable. Great image. :thumbs:
 
Week 2

Just getting Sunday dinner ready, when I saw the theme for week 2...



New potatoes...

Well they are actually King Edwards... but the thought was there..

Maybe a bit too much dof

:)

Very gritty image, I really like this. Could see it used in a newspaper or mag.

Thanks for the comments.

I remember over 20 years ago that there were people living there.
The chap that lives there now has done for quite a long time.
 
I like the DOF, the potato thing was something i had in mind if the weather stayed crap.

Nice take on this weeks theme

regards
 
nice one mike :) your in quick with week 2 :eek: I am still thinking about it :thinking: like the dof good thought on the theme and I also like the idea round the accommodation theme as well ...well done:thumbs:
 
That's my New Potatoes theme gone :D

I like this although I think the shot might have worked better without the foreground potatoes
 
I dont think its too much DOF either... I think its better to go extreme sometimes!

I was going to say the same thing! I've been mulling this over since it was announced and today I thought about all the new potatoes in the pantry! Bah :D

I quite like the DOF, although I think it may have worked a little better if there was something interesting about the potato as the focal point.

Still, a nice capture non the less :)
 
Hi Mike, good pair of images. Good start to your 52

#1 is a good reminder of of what real life is for some people. Good photojournalism. I feel it's a bit overexposed as a colour image, especially for the subject. Do you think it would work as a B+W?

#2 good DOF and sharp focus on the middle spud. a good exercise but for me lacks a point of interest.
 
Hi,

Thanks all for the comments.

Regards the potato shot, I probably rushed the shot as wanted to get "in first" rather than thinking about the image before taking it.

The first shot,, I have actually posted a trial hdr version to expose it even more, to try and show the grit as some people call it.
Will mess with a B&W version later as didn't think of that so thanks.

:)
