This is my, give or take, 573rd photo for this 52 Photo Challenge.

Tonight's dinner - Rack of Lamb. I've been cooking since Mrs. rpn's recent health issues. She said, "Is this for your homework?" when she saw me taking photo of the food.


Week 01 Food

Food by Stan, on Flickr

Excellent, another picture to make me feel hungry. Mrs RPN enjoyed it, I trust? Certainly looks good.

 

[Allan.H]

My partner said the same thing when I came home from work with a bag of clementines.

Nice start, that does look tasty and well done for keeping at this thing

 

[Darkslinger]

Now that looks like a yummy dinner Stan. My compliments to the chef!

 

[BobBCN]

Tastefully done. I bet you enjoyed that!!

Thanks, Bill, it was rather tasty indeed.

Tastefully done. I bet you enjoyed that!!

Thank you, Bob. only the bones left after.

Certainly looks more appertising than my Muffin.
I like the contrast of the warm look to the background vs the cooler reflections off of the tin foil.

Thanks, Tim. I'm happy with the result and also the food too!

 

[Shugpug]

It's echo Tim - looks lovely and there's great tones in there.

Good focus on the lamb and like the warm lighting, Mrs Nog asks similar questions when I get something or suggest we go somewhere.
Congrats on your 573rd shot

 

[Simonbrown16]

That’s a lot of pictures! That’s a very tasty shot and nicely framed too, feel free to send some to me!

 

[Kell]

I hope you meant this is your 573rd shot for all the 52s, not just this year's or that's some dedication to the shot.

Looks good.

I think I'd have been tempted to crop it a bit squarer and cut out the sliver of silver on the right and just leave it against the black of the inside of the oven and give it a bit more contrast.

Hope you don't mind, but sometimes it's easier to show you what I had in my head.

Something like this:

It looks delicious Stan. Very nicely done.

Thank you, Keith. The warmth is from the oven light.

Thanks, Simon. I have participated in this 52-malarkey for a year or two.

Cheers, Kell. Not at all and I think your version is a stronger image.

Cheers, Pete. It was nice indeed.

 

[SimonH]

Cor, that looks tasty Stan

Snow came on the 2nd of January and all the surrounding area has been covered with it since.
A frozen lochan only a few hundred yards from my house.

Week 02 Cold

Frozen by Stan, on Flickr

 

[BobBCN]

Definitely frozen, just like most football pitches for this weekend. Great shot for this week's theme!

Thank you, Bob. It was -7˚C last night and, apparently, slightly 'warmer' at -6˚C tonight

Here's my alternative take for COLD

Wall of Ice by Stan, on Flickr

 

[Boots]

That certainly hits the theme.

 

[Allan.H]

Similar weather with us at the minute though thankfully not as long as you.
I quite like the wall shot.

 

[RyanB]

I am quite liking the wall shot as well, maybe I'm odd but I would love some proper snow around my way. I think its been over 5 years since anything laid for more than an a few hours.

 

[Cloudforest]

Both say cold Stan. I rather like the wall shot.

Thanks, Paul.

Cheers, Allan. Baltic here this morning -11° outside.

 

[Kell]

Definitely think you chose the right one. Lovely image.

Thanks, Ryan. Pleased you like the Wall version, We get snow here every year in the NE Scotland.

Both say cold Stan. I rather like the wall shot.

Cheers, Pete.

Another vote for the wall shot, like the cool white snow contrasting with the warmer light

 

[LC2]

I'd never seen the word "lochan" before. Every day's a school day.
Nicely shot. Good exposure ensuring that the snow isn't 18% grey.

 

[-Oy-]

Yep - wall shot all the way

Cheers, Keith. the 'warm' light is from the setting sun at 3:00!

Thanks, Tim. You probably know it is a Scottish word for small loch (lake) by now.

Yep - wall shot all the way

Cheers, Dave.

 

[bullinachinashop]

I like both the cold shots but prefer the second - the ferns growing through the wall give some hope of warmer times to come!

 

[AlanDorset]

I prefer your chosen shot as the temperature it suggests is much more extreme. Glad I live in the deep south of the uk without your temperatures!

 

[Adamcski]

I also prefer the chosen image for the theme this week.

 

[cptnm]

Two great pics this weeks, I do prefer your frozen shot but the wall does have some great textures

Thank you, Ross. The drystone wall is not far from my front door.

Cheers, Alan. We get used to the freezing temperatures every winter.
