20 mins! Blimey - the average human would have downed a celebratory cuppa, smoked a cigar (I'm talking Cuban not cheroot) and be fast asleep in that time ... or is that just me hahaha !!

That's another terrific shot for Static. Simple but striking image.

FYI....it's pretty tricky to get static screen on these new fangled tellies!

I wondered why there weren't so many Poltergeist about these days, I guess that explains it ..

Yep...technology put that poor little old woman out of business.
No more "The hayose is clayn....". :D
 
Phew, the dangers you put yourself through Ruth. Firstly being chased by a dinosaur and escaping by the skin of your teeth only to be confronted by a poltergeist.

Like the cating tortoises :p, 20 minutes huh, lightweights :D

Love the idea behind Static, very clever :clap:

Thanks Jill. :-)

Both your fauna made me smile again - and very clever shot for static - I'd completely forgotten static on the TV!

Thanks very much Em...I'm glad they make you chuckle. :-)

Great and different image for Static Ruth love the B&W conversion

Thanks Mark.
There's no BW conversion here.
The static on the screen was BW, and the TV bezel is black, but no actual conversion to mono. :-)
 
Lone - I feel that Evil Viv may have been instrumental in the torture of the poor egg. We must be told!
I like the framing with the bit of greenery to the side.
Fauna - That's a good question from our scaly leader, maybe there is dino in dino. Nice alternative take on teh theme Ruth.
Surely Tortoises aren't native fauna of this country? Ohhh blush.
Static - Do modern TVs do static? (oh, lol, seems I'm a bit late to ask that question). Showing your age quoting from Poltergeist Ruth.

Thanks Tim. :-)
Eggie lived to tell the tale, and I'm sure will make a future appearance.
Fauna...since we weren't given any region or time, I thought I'd push the limits somewhat. :D
Static....yes, sadly I remember the original release of Poltergeist, not the newfangled remake. Just call me Methuselah. :(
 
Great idea for static, and very well executed. It's still a mystery to me how you got the static on your TV screen... :cautious:

Thank you Bernd. Fired up the Smart TV, searched "static" on YouTube, whacked it on full screen.....et voila!! A big flat screen full of moving static!!
 
Oh a dinosaur, what fun, and those other two are making their own fun. :)

and Static ... I worked on a couple of static electricity ideas of the visual sort, saw yours and gave up. Nicely done, nice drama.

I wish you'd continued with your idea, I was really hoping to see some static electricity based stuff :(

Years ago I saw an image (still with me) of an old TV box stuck wonkilly in the wet sand with the tide coming in. The other day I woke with the thought of finding the same then adding pp static. Nice thought whilst it lasted.

Now, these days, that would be a pretty random find!

Static, nice take on the theme and not one that sprang to mind.

Lovely detail and silhouette.

Cheers.

Thanks Andy.
To be honest it was the first thing that sprang to my mind, so I ran with it.

Cheers Susie, I'm pleased with this one. :-)
 
Week 33 - Game.

A case of Chook Mate.
I set up the board, and when I looked around, the king was missing and someone had taken it's place!
Yes, I know......I'll get me coat....... :D

Thanks Chris. Much appreciated. :)
I let him stay in the shot as people seemed a bit concerned about him after "lone" week. :LOL:
 
And another egg-themed photo, are you setting yourself up for going all eggy in 2017? Great idea, great use of DoF.

I've seriously thought about it for next year Bernd, it would be a challenge in itself! But, still have to finish this year first!

Thanks for your comment, it's much appreciated. :D
 
Hahaha - happy chappie, gets in everywhere. Is he gonna show us some of his moves? I like the sheen on the pieces and the DoF.

Thanks Carl.
He does like to bust a move or two.
You never know what he's going to do! :-)

Ooooo and another cracking shot Ruth, an eggcellent idea again, I really love the expressions you get on these, and the lovely rich colour of the image is very effective indeed (y)

Thanks Dean... Much appreciated. :-)
I think the expressions have come on a bit since my attempt last year. :-)
 
Hahahah, love your inventiveness Ruth. Great shot there for Game, although, as you pointed out, the grey tie and whip might have added a je ne c'est quoi...

I was about to say, I worry about you sometimes, Jill, but I've given up with that :D
