[AlanDorset]

Filthy - well spotted, a great subject

Week 6: neat and tidy
A visit to Breda and the begijnhof. A historic semi- religious, sheltered community for women - now private residences. The houses and gardens were OCD tidy !

Week 9: Hidden
Another one from the Begijnhof in Breda. The communities are enclosed and hidden away so tried to capture that in this pic

Week 10: textures
Annoyed my partner this week: went out to buy her a jacket and I got one instead particularly because I liked the cord-like fabric.
Pic 1 shows the texture but not a great representation of the colour

Week 10: textures 2+vivid.
As we have a new technique to use (vivid) I decided to experiment with the white balance. The previous pic was on auto and this one I switched to tungsten to over- strengthen the true colour.

Nice catch up shots all round. Like buth versions of Texture but the first one looks especially good.

 

[HelenC]

Good catch up set. The texture shot works particularly well in my opinion.

 

[eoSimon]

A bit of a catch up as I found some of the recent categories rather tricky, and prefer to post in order (not least to avoid confusing myself)

Week 11: personal (transport). No shortage of bikes in Amsterdam but liked this against the vertical lines and colours in the background.

[Boots]

A good catch up set

 

[AlanDorset]

Those cube houses are so photogenic, absolutely love them. Nicely captured, good colour

 

[eoSimon]

A good catch up set

Thanks

Thanks. They are - I think it would be hard to take a bad picture as they are so eye catching.

 

[BobBCN]

That's an incredible catch up, mate. Those houses are certainly worth capturing, and the shadows/silhouettes is a corker!!

Thanks - glad to be fully up to date at last !

 

[RyanB]

Nicely done on the catch-up. Those houses are wild, couldn't imagine living in one.

Thanks - we did have a look inside one and weren’t convinced beyond the novelty. And then there’s all the togs & tourists outside !

 

[HelenC]

Excellent catch up set. I particularly like the bike shot for compostion and colour

 

[nickbee]

Good catch up, I particularly like the shadow photo. Snapper's choice makes me feel like I'm in an MC Escher picture.

 

[SimonH]

Great catch up set Simon

[eoSimon]

An improvement in the weather means I’ve got out a bit more and got three candidates for week 17 structure
#1 is a concrete spiral stair

[eoSimon]

#2 is a stairway out of the local park

#3 is this insect hotel

[BobBCN]

The empty bike rack fits the theme well. Due to disuse or fear of theft I wonder....

I gonna go for your 3rd structure shot. Quite a curiosity.

Thanks Bob
The rack is in the park so I suspect busier in summer or at weekends. The Dutch don’t worry where they leave them !
Yes I liked that but went for the hard edges and concrete of the stair.

 

[HelenC]

Two good ones. Personally I like the staircase for the structure theme.. nice composition

 

[eoSimon]

Week 18: straight
Lots of straight lines here: rail tracks, platform and markings

[BobBCN]

Very nice indeed. A plethora of straight lines and it all works well in BW

 

[eoSimon]

Week 19: bent 1
Found little to my liking so tried to add the minimalist theme and came up with this

[eoSimon]

And also this (bent 2) while in the bathroom. Perhaps too minimalist !!

Week 20: arches. Aside from the shape I liked the scale and colours of this rainbow arch.

Week 21: weather
Pretty poor weather for spring/summer here in the Netherlands but at least this sky was dramatic.

Week 22: criiters
This cat toy has taken a pounding giving him a wild eyed critter look I think.

Week 23: vegetable

I’d set this up then remembered that tomato counts as a fruit but I contend it’s found in the veg aisles !!
