Critique required LC2's 52 Shoe Horns for 2024: Week 52 - Transport

[LC2]

Week 31 - Bridge(s)

Just off the path between Norden and Corfe.
I liked the pool of light just beyond the bridge.
I know some may not like the line of bright light at the top of the shot, but it was a conscious decision to keep that in the edit to emphasize that this was a bridge and not simply an archway.

Week 25 - Free Week

'Magda "Magda Malvina Märlprim" Andersson' of 'Ye Banished Privateers' singing 'Annabel' At Fantasy Forest this year.
Shot from the pit.
Shot during daylight, so no lighting effects, but I really liked her facial expressions during this song.

Bridge: Love that patch of light on the water too..

Week 35 - Free Week

It pretty much goes without saying that I'm going to post Cosplay for Snappers Choice

Week 37 - Occupational (Hazard)

If you're The Joker, then being on the wrong end of Batsy's weapons is definitely an occupational hazard !

Week 38 - People

Vampires are People too.
Lazlo and Nadia from What We Do In The Shadows
Gelled Flash to separate the subject from the grey concrete background that typifies an MCM London shot.

Week 41 - Friends

I've known these 4 friends for years.
They are great cosplayers and also great fun.

Yes - I hate the bin in the background too - but at this location you always end up with something...

[Kell]

Love the colours against the backdrop.

I mean, you could get rid of the bin...

I could have, yes, but...
I must admit you did a better job than I would have
Yes, the colours really do pop don't they.

Week 34 - Cutlery

Individual Knives used for this cosplay.

[AlanDorset]

Candid - I have been trying to work on street photography and following a few eg Eduardo Ortiz to understand and improve my pictures. The layering is really effective in your picture along with the pop of colour on the person.

Thanks Alan. I guess the photo wasn't strictly candid as Lani was doing a model shoot with us.
However, the shot coming out of the google revolving doors wasn't a posed shot, so it counts in my book (or at least in my shoehorning mind).

 

[LC2]

Week 42 - Local

A peek at a few local things.
Shot with all the digital fidelity of the original Instax Mini Evo with it's massive 4.9 megapixel sensor and plastic lens.
A bit of a PABD to be honest, but it is what it is.

Week 39 - Exit

PABD but this was shot at the main exit of the big hall at Olympia

Week 45 - Snappers + Tech: Flash

A little different from the usual use of flash in an event space.
A single gelled flash aimed at a black background, with a little spill onto Brittany's face.
Shutter speed slowed to 1/30 at f/1.8 to allow the low ambient light to do the subject illumination.

Week 46 - Intricate

Cosplays are often intricate and if you look closely there are lots of details to Niamh's Pinhead cosplay

Week 44 - Night

George RR Martin's Night King (along with Jon Snow).

[AlanDorset]

The intricacy and realism is fascinating. Our neighbour's son has a business making costumes for Game Of Thrones and other films of that ilk, a few "interesting" stories there!

 

[SimonH]

Good set Tim. Always amazed by how much these folks put into this.

I bet the stories are 'interesting'

Yes, there is a lot of work put into a lot of the costumes. Especially as a lot of the time they have to make the pattern too.

Week 47 - Ancient

If not ancient, then certainly old from a jet aviation perspective. Concorde's first passenger flight was(just) less than 30 years after Heathrow opened.
It took a bit of wandering around the Peri track to find somewhere half reasonable to get a shot that wasn't too badly obscured.


G-BOAB by Tim White, on Flickr

I also got this shot, which has the added interest of the Swissair departing in the background. But not as good a shot and horrible light.

[Boots]

Frightening that Concorde is, unarguably, ancient. I remember when it was new! I guess that make me ancient too.

Much prefer your chosen shot too.

Ancient? No. Old yes. Nice to see

It took some work... I should try different times of the day to see if the light is any better.
It's not easy to get close.

A shame it's not still flying really.

I remember the day it caught fire at the airport in Paris. We were on the taxiway at Manchester on our ay to Eurodisney. They called us back and waited for hours. When we eventually got there we met a family who had gone by car from Bolton and had beaten us there by a few hours!

 

[SimonH]

A beautiful plane, way ahead of its time!

A beautiful plane, way ahead of its time!

Steady on! It could break the sound barrier, not the speed of light.

[BobBCN]

Very good images throughout your catch up. I like the 'Hellraiser' (I think) the best. Of the Concordes I'm going with the mono - it seems to suit the idea of 'ancient' better.

I guess your flight was to CDG.

I still miss it flying overhead.

Mono allowed me some leaway with the processing to make it stand out from the background more
Niamh's Pinhead was great. She was a totally different face the following day (Daniela Dimistrescu)

Week 52 - Transport

I thought I'd make the effort to at least get the final image of the year in.
The BA jet was moments from landing on 27L at LHR on this year's grey Boxing Day.
