Most definitely technology... does what it says on the tin

Thanks, Helen

Nice pix both of them

Cheers, Dave.

A very 'straight' shot, but lovely and sharp, with loads of interest.

Thanks, Nick. The lens was a 105mm macro.

The council must have done a major clean up over the weekend as there aren't many discarded items laying about this morningt. But manage to capture a couple of shots in the end.

Theme ticked and nice use of blurr in the background too.

Fits the theme and highlights out throwaway society.

Well spotted... we see so many things discarded apart from when we're looking for them...

Thank you, Pete. That's the current trend, everything are disposable nowadays.

[Peter123]

Quick and simple it might be but is still very effective Stan.

Thanks, Peter. The flower is about to wither.

 

[Darkslinger]

Sometimes it's good just to get it out of the way quickly. An good shot Stan, it meets the challenge well.

Thanks, Bill. It's limited what you can take for the theme.

 

[SimonH]

That’s lovely

 

[rpn]

That’s lovely

Thanks, Simon. it's a focus stacking of 7 images.

 

[wornish]

Rose looks a bit tired/bruised. The focus seems to be on the lower leaf on the rhs
Perhaps a bit rushed?
Still a lovely capture.

For a quick and simple shot, it looks great! The water droplets really add to the picture too.

Nicely done rose Stan.

 

[Bebop]

Lovely colours and I like the plain background and water droplets too! You've done well with the depth of field.

Thanks, Simon. The droplets add some interests to a rather wise boring subject image.

An unusual urban contemporary sculpture. A life-sized piece of art in the shape of a tree represents a growing community. Designed and sculptured by the same company as the Kelpies. It is made of galvanised mild steel and stands around 3.5metres (11ft) tall.
I've been waiting patiently for a couple of evenings for a nice sunset in order to add some interest to the image rather than a shot during the daylight.


Week 14 Unusual

[wornish]

Certainly fits the theme. Never seen anything like it.

 

[Boots]

Very odd indeed!

Very odd indeed!

Thanks, David and Paul. It was commissioned by the house builders in a new housing estate. This is the plaque.

 

[Nod]

Going by the colour, I thought it might be verdigris so could be a copper beech...

 

[Cloudforest]

Well I just love the sculpture and your pic of it Stan.

Great image Stan of a great sculpture. Is it illuminated at night?
Andy Scott has produced some phenomenal sculptures, The Kelpies, Arria in Cumbernauld, The Dun-Bear in Dunbar to name a few

 

[SimonH]

Lovely image and indeed, very unusual.

Thanks, Duncan. No its not lit at night. Same around here, we have this Kinion Tree, Poised the leopard and Mother Earth in Aberdeen and all designed by Andy Scott.

Lovely image and indeed, very unusual.

Thanks, Simon.
