weekly Leebert's 52 for 2020. Week 23 - Hidden.

[Leebert]

That looks fantastic. Black & white is a bold choice, as most water droplet photos are vibrant colours, but I think this is perfect.

Many thanks for your kind words Dominic.

Your shot made me think of Gareth B and wonder where / how he is.
Nicely set up and shot Lee.

I quite often wonder too. Thank you Tim.

Nice done water drop. Maybe a bit of tidying up with the clone or heal tool bottom middle there?

Thank you Dave. You are absolutely correct. I did try but LR made a bit of a mess of it and it was obvious so I left it alone.

Great water drop collision - and great low key lighting.

Many thanks Phil.

That's a great shot - the black and white processing is impressive.

Than you Helen.

Excellent and as said unusual to see one in black and white

Many thanks Allan.

That's a cracking water drop Lee

Thank you Chris.

Great shot!

Thank you.

That really works in B&W, Background what ever it is really suits the Image.
Pete

Thank you Pete. The BG is a very large matt black plant pot saucer.

That's a cracking image Lee nothing to fault and the B&W conversion really suits it.

Thanks Mark.

Looks incredible! Very well done. And I agree looks really effective in black and white

Thank you very much Roxanne.

WOW Lee, that`s a fantastic shot and even better in B&W. Can`t fault it at all.

Thank you kindly Dave.

Nicely done and works well in b&w

Thank you Clive.

Fantastically captured! Great on technique too.

Many thanks David.

I thought I had commented on this already - I really like this in B&W. It's unusual - and good in it's own right, not just because it's different.

Thank you very much.

Thank you all for your very kind words and for taking the time to pop by

[DowntonMini]

Very nice Lee I like that

 

[vanishedbob]

GRATE shot!!

 

[Cobra]

Nice abstract Lee

 

[-Oy-]

Grates on me a bit - but that's a nice mono

 

[LC2]

Nice Lee.
The composition is spot on, leading your eye through the image.
Good strong range from black to reflected highlight.

 

[Allan.H]

Nice abstract of the grater

 

[CliveH]

Good composition and lighting, nicely symetrical.

 

[Roxanne Withy]

Love this. So simple. Does it remind anyone else of a still from the beginning of Star Wars?

 

[Shugpug]

Very nice - I like the DoF, and am surprised at it from such a small sensor!

 

[rpn]

Nice abstract shot. A good example of symmetry can be a powerful compositional ally in boring household item shots.

 

[Fuji Dave]

Great grater abstract Lee.

 

[Cloudforest]

Nice b&w Lee. I like the symmetry and the PoV.

 

[Nostromo]

Household item
I always find cheese grater shots work pretty well. It must be something to do with the light and dark, making them very abstracty.

Thank you Mark.

GRATE shot!!

Brilliant! Thanks David.

Thank you for your kind words Roxanne. It did remind me of just that when I was taking it!

[Leebert]

Running a week behind now. It goes so fast!

Week 23 - Hidden.

This one had me a bit stumped. I couldn't think of anything at all. A bit of a PABD but a plant watering session in the garden nearly got Kitty as she was well hidden in the flower bed.

[Allan.H]

That took me a while to spot, bang on theme

 

[Nostromo]

Good camouflage, it took me a little while to find the kitty kat.

 

[Cobra]

It took me awhile too,
bang on theme Lee.

 

[vanishedbob]

Flipping Heck! Took me ages. For that alone you win Hidden!

 

[CliveH]

Very well hidden and well spotted.

 

[Phil S]

Right on topic -shows the value of stripes for camouflage - is she a good hunter?

 

[Shugpug]

Extremely well hidden! Nicely taken (and nicely camouflaged!)

 

[DowntonMini]

Nice take on the theme Lee it appears that Cats like hiding in the plants!

 

[Bebop]

She is very well hidden! Our cat does this right under the bird table [emoji849] Thankfully she’s old and slow now.

Thanks Phil. Not any more. She is 21 and like to take it easy now a days.

Extremely well hidden! Nicely taken (and nicely camouflaged!)

Many thanks.

Thanks Mark. Under the apple tree is one of her favourite places to be.

Thank you. The birds must know how old and slow Kitty is as they happily come down and feed when she is sleeping!

Many thanks for dropping by. Apologies for the lack of comments lately. I will do my best to catch up.
