weekly Oy's Weekly Photo Thingamabob for 2024 : WEEK 51 : Entertaining

Ta - I didn't - but I do have wider shots.
 
Nice. Difficult not to take a good picture of a proper steam train. Feels slightly too sharp in the processing, or is that just me?

Thanks Alan.

No sharpening applied. Just a great camera and a very sharp lens.

Two comments - an all time low I think.

Maybe I'll shoot the knife & forks in my kitchen drawer this week :ROFLMAO:

Too much summer & outdoor activity distraction methinks. Certainly spending a lot of hours on the golf course in the last few week, which is limiting the time for other things. Quite a few are doing catch-ups I have noticed. I'm still determinedly sticking to the "take it in the week and post it in the week" but that means some of the pictures haven't had the time invested.

That is impressive! I take it all back. I keep toying with an upgrade but one can quickly spend an absolute shed-load in the shop and never sure how much better the outcomes would be for me.

Sorry - been away and mind on other things. That's an absolute belter of a shot on the Oystercatcher!
 
Lovely light and reflections. Looks like a very balmy evening.

Well spotted ! I like the wider shot for the context, and also her look of concentration. The B&W works for what feels like a dingy courtyard that is being brightened up.

Thanks Alan - that's exactly what it is :)
 
Good capture, agree with Alan that the widder shot is nicer but I'm glad to have had a better view of what was being drawn. Looking back over the last few themes, really like the train pic but that shot on the escalator has real wow factor, brilliant!

Edit - I do know how to spell "wider" but now @-Oy- quoted me it's too late to change.

Week 38 - People

"Nom nom nom..." on Blackpool North Pier today. Yes - we had a chat. She was lovely :)

... not sure she was enjoying the attention though. Did you run after taking the shot? :giggle:
 
As I said above...

Yes - we had a chat. She was lovely :)
 
Lovely shot - that looks like a proper sailing club, spit and sawdust. There's probably a bloke with a wooden leg at the bar.
