weekly rpn's 2021 52 Photo Challenge - Week 52 SHOWCASE added **COMPLETE**

[NickD]

I love the Halloween tackiness of the first shot. Really nice contrast too.

 

[rpn]

This subject seems to be a popular choice for this week. My other option is the song by Red Hot Chilli Peppers...... Under the Bridge. Either there isn't an interesting enough bridge near by or have to travel further away.


Week 44 Underneath

Up the tree - works well

 

[Cobra]

It still works Stan, no matter how many there are of these

 

[SimonH]

Yes, works nicely and you’ve captured some night sky peeking through too.

 

[seaodyssey]

Snap !
Some nice colours and well exposed.

Pete

 

[robj20]

Thanks, Simon.




Cheers, Rob. I look forward to seeing your version.

Gave in and with no other ideas did my maple.

 

[Simonbrown16]

Hits the theme with that one, well composed and lovely colours.

 

[Deleted member 68495]

Like the brown at the top fading into the green at the bottom.

Here's my very unconvincing attempt at composite technique. It's a PABD shot.


Week 45 Snapper's Choice and Composite Technique

 

[SimonH]

Ha ha! Brilliant!

 

[Deleted member 68495]

It's a brilliant idea, I love it.

It's a brilliant idea, I love it.

Thanks, Simon and Martin. There are so many of these wind turbines around here and I thought I'll try to make a good use of them.

 

[Bebop]

Ha ha very clever! I think you could have added some motion blur in the blades for the icing on the cake

Thanks, Beb. Excellent comments there and very good point. I'll give it a go sometimes.

@Bebop

Here's my attempt at motion/radial blur of the turbine blades.

 

[NickD]

Silly... and I like it! It looks much better with the movement in the blades, it makes much more sense.

Good for a laugh. Can't agree more about the silliness.

 

[FlyPhot]

Great idea and works well, I do prefer the one with the motion blur on the blades. Good job.

Excellent work!

Week 46 - Back of (my Mini)

[Bebop]

That meets the brief.

You have the horizon matching exactly with the line between windows and bodywork. I rather like this 'pattern'. It might be more obvious in black and white, or am I just seeing things?

 

[HelenC]

Bang on theme... and a very, very clean motor! Puts mine to shame...

 

[-Oy-]

Nice take on the theme. Saw one recently parked next to an original 1960s Mini. I think it may have fitted in the boot of the new one

 

[Scots_quine]

Lovely and very clean car. Nice background as well. A well thought out image.

Thanks, Bebop. The alignment is just pure coincident and wasn't setup.

Cheers, Dave. The classic Mini which I've also owned, is tiny compares to the current model.

Thanks, Joan

 

[SimonH]

Nice photo, nice motor. Very clean compared to mine!!!!

Fish and Chips; a very British culture.


Week 47 Culture

[Bebop]

Indeed it is. I do love fish and chips and it's a treat when I'm on holiday. Looks a bit chilly there.

Thanks, Bebop. I find Fish and Chips are quite unique to the UK they have almost become cultural food if there's such a thing.
Yes, it's cold up here in NE Scotland and has been snowing overnight.

 

[SimonH]

+1 for a fish and chip dinner/supper!
Can't get more British than that - unless it's a Balti of course!

Thanks, Simon. I thought Chicken Marsala is the other British national dish?
But I prefer Balti too.

I believe you are correct!

 

[FlyPhot]

nicely thought out, and well done for positioning yourself so as not to be in a reflection .

Thanks, Jim. I stood centred in front of the wall between the door and window to avoid my own reflection. But you can see my car (Mini), see Week 46 above, reflection.

 

[Harlequin565]

I really liked this one. Simple and to the point. A shade more "R" for my liking, but otherwise this ticks all the boxes.

 

[rpn]

On the home straight now, just a few more weeks to complete another 52.
I have this in mind early on but just finding the time and a break in the weather to capture the shot.

Week 48 Living

Living by Stan, on Flickr

 

[FlyPhot]

Nicely cropped, plenty of detail and fits the theme well. We don't have many high rise blocks in my area of East Devon, but where I grew up in Southwest London we certainly did and this image captures the 'feel' of those estates really well, for me (imposing, somewhat oppressive and stark is how it feels to me).

 

[Kell]

I like that. A lot.

Did you have to straighten it up afterwards?
