weekly HelenC's 52 for 2024. Week 42 - Local

Heya Helen,

Water: Quite a High Key image. Very smooth water :) What it the thing on the tilt at the end of the pier?
Snappers: Good to tick off the tech a few weeks ahead of the change ;) I feel this shot could have done with more light (as I think you do too), but not an easy option SooC the way this month has been so far.

I imagine they will turn to the light eventually. Or maybe camera shy? Nice one!

@LC2 I have no idea what the appendage is. And you're right, most of the past weeks could have done with more light!

Thanks ffor dropping by guys.
 
Totally uninspired this week.. with more grey and very wet days to boot.
The lanes are also full of sharp twigs as the hedge cutting gets finished.... this one is particularly neat and tidy

Another nice countryside mono, which suits the horrible weather we're all having. Roll on spring!
 
What Simon said and I know how you feel but I’m sure high pressure and sunshine was mentioned for this weekend :)

Inspired or not, it looks fine to me. Dunno, maybe more sky, less grass?

I always enjoy your images Helen, especially the ones at the beach.

Weather hasn't been great here either, but that is a nice clean image and fits the bill nicely.

Thanks for stopping by guys... much appreciated.
 
A bit late posting... due to someone steailing my days.
When the sky looks like this you know there is some filthy weather about to arrive. A phone shot.. was kicking myself for not having the proper camera with me!

Lovely shot as usual Helen. As Kell said, without close scrutiny you wouldn't know what camera took this. Works perfectly for the theme too.
 
I do love stormy skies and that's right up my street, looks great and the phone did well.
 
A catch up yet again. My photography seems to have dropped off a cliff due to some dry weather and my garden itch - first time I've been able to get into it for months!

A couple of quick shots:

The Gull Wing bridge will soon be whole with the delivery of the "wings". A phone shot nabbed while shopping

I went to grab a shot of a hidden mausoleum which turned out to be totally uninspiring so caught this hidden gravestone against a wonderfully textured old yew.

Whole- Lovely shot made by the reflections.
Hidden - Works well and black and white suits the subject.
 
Great work, the bridge scene is lovely with the reflections as above and your hidden shot works well for the theme too.

Two really neat shots. Super reflections in Whole and Hidden works in mono.

Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to comment. Much appreciated as ever.
 
Another very non-photographic week. However, in between attacking the garden I did manage a trip to the local East Anglia Yarn Fair and picked up some very soft and squidgy hanks of merino yarn, one in a very vibrant orange. Just no idea what to do with it yet....

Super duper :)
 
RyanB said:
That orange yarn certainly pops, orange and grey/s make great hat colours imho.

Great textures and I love the fall off in focus.

SimonH said:
That fits the bill nicely Helen, and lovely pop for the vivid orange!

Like the focus and fits the theme plus hanks is a new word for me.

Nice shot of a nice shot :)
 
Texture: A lovely colourful shot, nicely composed.
Personal: There’s nothing as personal as family memories imo.
