Thanks Susie. I agree, that the collage works far better than posting a single image of the artists work.A really nice selection there Tim, some very talented artwork in each one, I like the collage, it has more impact than a stand alone image, fits the theme perfectly.
Well you wait for one picture to come along and then.........for height I quite like the power station chimney emphasises the topic well as does the Shard so it would be a choice between the two. For the reshoot I am going with the Tate fuel tanks they were featured on"Grand designs" a few weeks ago I seem to recall, no idea what I'm going to do as we don't really do tall buildings in Chester
For height my pic is the Monument as I just like it more, reshoot is a good take on theme too.
Height
I think you've made the right choice. The first image is slightly stronger, but if you had only put up the Shard I would have been pleased.
Reshoot
I actually quite like the second one.
Cheers Chris. You seem to have gone for the ones I preferred, much for the same reasonsColourful, I remember a time when Terry seemed to be writing them faster than I could read them, a sad loss but a nice montage of colourful images.
Height, the first works best for me, the chimney in the foreground is a good indicator of scale for the distant buildings.
Reshoot, tanks for me, the kids did you a favour by adding a bit of ethereal interest to the photo.
I'm glad I've brought something new to the 52 in those 2 shots from the Blavatnik. They can't be that uncommon given the number of camera (or camera phones) I saw while I was up there.The Blavatnik Building, what a fab vantage point! You've brought out some great detail in that chimney from a POV I've never seen before. Same goes for St Pauls, I've never before seen it from that angle and I love the way it stands out from the BG. I'm also loving your Monument shot, there's nothing wrong with vignette, it seem to do the trick here: dramatic.
Cheers. But which is your favourite?Nice selection of shots for height Tim
Yes, I like the Power Station shot too. I did walk around the viewing platform quite a bit trying to decide on the right angle.Hi Tim
1st height shot for me is stunning....
and I really like the LE fuel tanks pic as well.....
Nice to not see a steam engine....
I think I know the building you're talking about. I suspect the new build flats around Southwark Power Station might block the view these days.Height - a statement chimney! That view has changed a bit since I had an office on the 23rd floor of a building just by the Eye.
It wouldn't be a shoe-horn without the need for an explanationSteady on Tim, you got a photo up the day after the theme was announced
It's not yelling remote without the description but it is an interesting angle.
Cheers Dave70DA nice angle on the shot Tim, like the oof platform and good lighting and like the end of the line.
I did remove quite a lot of clutter, including bits and pieces around that sign. I even fixed bits that got removed. But yes, maybe it should have gone too and I was getting too fixated on keeping it. I get what you mean about deserted vs remote, but I didn't want to do the TV/Camera thing.I like the low viewpoint but it does look deserted rather than remote the "help point" sign not helping with that
Flippy out screens FTWInteresting pov ... leading lines, in yer face ... but that grows on you.
It would have been possible to move back, but I think I took it from there because of the light.I like the composition, the low pov. Maybe if you could have got a bit further back (but that might not have been possible) it would have given a bit more of a remote feel.
I'm liking your remote image Tim, though the platform edge is a tad bright it still draws you in as does the track coming in from the corner, cool composition and low point of viewWeek 46 - Remote
Somewhere remote... The end of a branch line (leading to a ferry). A remote part of the national rail network.
PABD. The only redeeming features this image has are the angle and maybe that the leading line actually leads to something.
TP 52 for 2017 - Week 46 : Remote by Tim White, on Flickr
Thanks Stan. It has grown on me a bit, but at the time I took itTotal understand your PADB feeling. We all have one of those weeks but I thought you done well enough. The low angle and shallow dof make the main subject seem to be quite remote
Thanks David, that is what I was attempting to express.Remote - think I got it as 'end of the line' without explanation and that is by definition the remote end. Like the leading lines and oof foreground.
Cheer DK, I was trying to work with the lines and angles on the basis that I didn't think the subject was particularly exciting. I guess I didn't do too badly.I'm liking your remote image Tim, though the platform edge is a tad bright it still draws you in as does the track coming in from the corner, cool composition and low point of view
I do have the pig from week 0 saved away, but felt it might be overkill.Spot on for the theme, well exposed and it's got a railway, good job but where's the flying pig?
Framing was quite hard, with the camera held over my head, using the tilt screen, to see over the parapet of the bridge. I did have a least one with more of the crane, but felt this was somehow better, b ut I do see your point and did ponder over the choice before posting.spot on indeed for the theme, the crane between the two towers being cut off is a little annoying
I would say a bit off the bottom but that would lose the train tracks
they must be used to seeing you hanging round there now
Nine Elms was originally the terminus for L&SWR, prior to extending to Waterloo, but the lines you can see in this shot are actually those out of Victoria, the LB&SC (London Brighton and South Coast Railway) and SE&C (South East & Chatham)... round the back of your favourite power station ... lots of Build going on there ....
Interesting as I didn't know about the trainline ... but should have guessed.
As per Allan's point about the central crane, it really was a question of framing and keeping the subject suitably prominent in the frame. (I think I would have had to go on forever adding in overlapping cranes. I felt having the front one come in more or else from the top corner was a good compromise and it was pretty much like that in all the shots I took.Nice shot for Build Tim, liking the load of cranes, shame the closest one is snipped, but hey guessing something nasty in view... I do like to see the track sneaking into the corner of the frame, and also good to see some blue sky again too, with the magic number of chimneys also its a nice image
Cheers Mark. Funny isn't it, but I only ever see this side, coming in on SWT in the mornings.Nice shot of Battersea....particularly for me, as I only ever see it from across the Thames and not this side of it......
Thanks Stan. That's what I was trying to go for, the contrast of the re-build of the power-station with the new build apartments.Plenty of building works going on there and I like the contrast between the new developments and the old power station.
Cheers Dave. Ideally I wouldn't have snipped it, but hey, it doesn't destroy the shot. As you say, the power-station itself is a strong enough object to direct the eye.Good shot for build Tim, not fussed about the snipped one as my eye goes right to power station with the other cranes.
