Week 15 : Snapper's Choice.

Craig and The Cs

I have this thing I do on Facebook where I often post an iPhone shot in a cafe on my travels. The thing is to include things beginning with C. So usually it's something like 'Camera Coffee Cafe Cake'

Yesterday I went to St Luke's Bombed Out Church in Liverpool with my Son Craig an his pals for a beer festival as part of his 30th Birthday celebrations. So I give you...

Camera, Cappuccino Stout, Chicken Curry (Thai Red) pie, and Craig - in a Church. Bonkers I know but hey ho!

You could add Calvo (Spanish for bald!) as there are at least four behind your lad!!!

Ta :) There's one behind the camera too :D
 
I c Craig was enjoying the celebrations, ok next day? Some of the beers I have tried at beer festivals have , at best, an unusual flavour but often high strength
Only crit would be you need to buy a Canon camera

My fave is a nice thick juicy and hazy New England Double IPA - usually about 8% :)

Didn't hear from Craig next day hehe :angelic:

Week 16 : Empty

A disused and empty swimming pool at a local gym almost on the beach at Hest Bank near Morecambe. Taken through foggy double glazing using my own reflection up close to counter the reflections. I like the way you can see the beach through the parts of me I couldn't get on at the left :)

Very nice, I really like that. Almost spooky and harking back to a brighter time in the past.

Did you use some straightening software to square up the whole image? I love how all the verticals are vertical.

A very slight tweak. 30mm on the Nikon Z 14-30mm is pretty much distortion free.
 
That's a beaut.

I actually thought the 'reflections' were pools of light (forgive the pun) streaming in somewhere.

If you hadn't said, I wouldn't have thought it was taken through a window.

I've often thought about one of those rubber lens caps, but I don't do it often enough to warrant more 'stuff' in the house.

Great mono shot, especially if it was taken through the window - its not obvious until you said so. It has a rather eerie feel. Nice one.

Week 17 : Structure

This is the 'Circle of Lebanon' in Highgate Cemetery London. Built into the hillside and containing mausoleums on both sides. When it was accessible the roof gave views over the city. Taken on Saturday.

Love the processing on these Dave, perfect subjects for mono. I do wonder if it would be possible for a slightly lower/ closer perspective on the first shot to keep the church spires out of sight?

Thanks ;)

Probably easier to just clone them out now that I'm home at the other end of the country. I'm sure I'll be back though as my daughter lives a 15min walk away :)
 
Fits the theme and always good to have a bit of info about the pic. Like the processing, but now I’ve noticed the spires, I blame Ryan. Second pic reminds me of tomb raider game
 
Nice shots Dave (as usual) and the mono suits perfectly as others have said. It's an impressive structure for sure.
