Clever use of the theme, I like that.

I agree with Keith, a very creative take on the theme. Both upright and a way to ensure that something is upright.
Thanks Helen!
Week 42 - Forgotten and Tech - Motion Blur
"A la recherche du temps perdu", or, if you prefer, "The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there".
This would have been an easy shot of my drawer of "things once needed but now put aside", except I still had to deliver on the Tech challenge, with only this and one further week to do it, and No Snapper's Choice!! So, I had to up my game and add considerably to the technical challenge. After much head scratching, I managed to work it out. Seemed to turn out pretty much as I had imagined.

Thanks Dave!Spooktastic
Thanks Helen!
Double exposure? Feels very much like the images put out by the ghost chasing tv programs
That's just the feel I was after - so thank you Tim for confirming I was in the right ball park. The shot is actually a blend of about four shots; slow shutter speed, moving target, different positions. The editing problem was trying to combine them and add noise but still keep enough definition in the subject.
Thanks Dave!That's just nuts!
No problem - captive nuts. They are a thing.
Thanks Dave!Super shot - I haven't done one of those for years
Thank you Simon!Cor, that's very clever!

Week 46 - Wall
Here is a nice bit of Jacobean masonry
I don't normally show the "also runs", but I found this project quite interesting, so I thought I would bore you with some others.
The ruin is Houghton House outside Ampthill, built 1615. Because of the nature of the property, you can see the internals of the construction in a way normally denied to us, which is like catnip to me. The image above shows us both above and below stairs, emphasising the differences in the size of openings and headroom.
Note how, in all the images, brick is used for fine detail work (and later modifications) and the local Greensand sandstone used elsewhere.
The main entrance, and view through the house to what were the hunting grounds beyond, the reason for the house.
The view out through the Western loggia, with a blocked up l'oeil de boeuf window (a recurrent theme in the house).
One of the main chimney stacks - some nice brickwork there
What I believe was the main stairwell (if interested, this is the far side of the wall in the first image)
And here is an image of the stairs, removed to the Swan Hotel in Bedford a couple of hundred years ago. (Image copied from the internet)
