Week 30 - Drink

It's been too hot to take photos this week, apart from this morning's coffee, which was delicious as normal

Week 31 - Bridge.

Actually managed to get out the house to take some shots this week.

I like the way sweep of the bridge in #1 leads the eye into the distance. Yes as Paul's remarks, the transition from #2 to #3 with the bridge and sky aligning is actually quite eye-catching.
 
Good set of bridges/bends, think I prefer the last one. Will look out for the perfect transitions in all of your future posts ;)
 
Thanks all. I changed my mind about 1 and 3 being the best a few times yesterday before landing on my selection. This morning I tend to agree that 3 is probably better. But now I can't ruin the transition by changing my mind.
 
Week 32 - Hot (pink)

It's been a rather dull, wet, cloudy week. So getting something hot wasn't as easy as it'd have been the week before.
So crowbaring in for week 32, is a hot pink flower being visited by a bee.
I should have brought my macro lens and really annoyed the family with how long I can take shooting flowers, but instead I just had a nifty fifty and a little post-cropping.

Interesting cutlery :)
 
Week 35 - Snappers Choice [Panning]

I'm awful at panning shots. I'm fairly well versed in scooter shots now, but panning scooter shots? Not so much. So this is the worst of my best pictures because all the others weren't panning shots.

Week 36 - Tools

Fancy a screw? I can do it three different ways.

I was experimenting with the masking and filter tools in PhotoLab and I am pretty happy with the result. Original below.

Good job :)
 
That's a very definitive placement ! I can visualise it being put down firmly with no nonsense.

I like the shadow gradient on the tube.

I am no builder, but I have been occupying myself with a lot of DIY as of late. This does beg to be slammed down in a no-nonsense meaningful way
 
Week 38 - People

I haven't been getting out much lately. Work / Home / Supermarket / Ferrying Kids on repeat.
Last week I came home from rugby practice soaked to the bone. This week was much more pleasant. So here are some people doing some rugby training.

Week 40 - Candid

I've missed 39 - Exit, so this is a little out of order - Ill come back to it. But I couldn't skip over this one.

Lovely shot :)
 
Yes, that is a great capture of the moment. The out-of-focus door frame (?) on the right side adds to the caught-in-the-act feel. Nice
 
I love the candid shot. Lovely composition, process and a good dof.
