Thanks, Simon. The shot was taken just yards from my house. You don't live around here, do you?

Mine was taken at Roath Park inn Cardiff...

Very nice Stan. That reflection is lovely.

Thanks, Pete. Just by luck that I came across it during my morning walk.

Came across this tree stump while taking a walk in the wood this morning.


Week 26 Half

Half by Stan, on Flickr

 

[SimonH]

Nicely shot stump Stan!

 

[rpn]

Nicely shot stump Stan!

Cheers, Simon. The question I asked myself at the time was is it a stump or half of a tree?

 

[-Oy-]

Nice stump - and some dappled light too!

 

[seaodyssey]

Yepp, dappled light and not a full tree. you could argue that the roots make up half the tree.

Pete

 

[Darkslinger]

Nice one Stan, I like how you've separated the stump from the background.

Thanks, Dave and Pete. I thought about claiming the Technique too but still plenty of weeks left yet.

 

[rpn]

Nice one Stan, I like how you've separated the stump from the background.

Thanks, Bill. I set a smallish (f4) aperture to get the background out of focus in camera and then add the Orton Effect and masked out the tree stump during post processing to get the final result.

 

[Cloudforest]

I like that Stan. I had to remind myself what the Orton Effect was and it works nicely for this subject.

Cheers, Pete. The Effect seems to be best suit landscape, woodland type images.

Are these posts or stumps, again?

Don’t ask me, I’m stumped It looks like you have dappled light too?
Fits the bill nicely. Well spotted.

Thanks, Bebop. Like you I'm leaving the Tech to a later date.

 

[Darkslinger]

LOL, they look like stumps of posts to me...

 

[SimonH]

Propers posts there Stan. Nicely shot.

Couple of small lochs, part of the estate, just yards away from my front door.


Week 28 Water

#3
Denmore Upper Loch by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Nod]

#3 for me.

#1 is a bit "water for the sake of water" IMO and the muddy bit in #2 draws the eye too much - again, IMO.

Cheers, Nod. I tend to agree with you. I think is the small bridge, known as Grandpa Bridge built by a group of OAPs within the estate, that adds more interest to the image.

 

[Nod]

Certainly helps a bit.

 

[Darkslinger]

I like your chose shot Stan it's a lovely image as is, but I'd like to see a closer shot of the little bridge in the distance.

Just for you, Bill.

Grandpa Bridge by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Darkslinger]

I like 'em both. Especially the second one.

 

[SimonH]

Nice - I like the latter close up shots the best.

 

[Peter123]

You are spoilt for choice. The waterfall shot under the bridge would have been my pick.

 

[HelenC]

Posts or stumps.. fits the bill either way
I like the shots including the bridge... #2 my preference.

 

[NickD]

I particularly like the 2nd bridge shot. The redness in the leaves is lovely.

 

[Cloudforest]

I like the first one of the first set and the second one of the second Stan. If that makes any sense!
