weekly RyanB's 52 for 2024 Week 51 Entertaining

[Boots]

That works very well.

 

[-Oy-]

YES YES! That's what it takes for a great fireworks shot. A photo that would be good without them - made better with them

Week 46 Intricate

The intricate vaulted ceiling of the Lady Chapel in Ely cathedral.

 

[Boots]

Very nice!

Did you lie on the floor?

It looks like they've had moths on the right hand side.

Thanks Paul, No lying on the floor from me just looking straight up and stepping around until I found as close to the middle as I could using the viewfinder.

As for the rhs those marks have puzzled me as well, I might bring a long lens with me next time and see If I can get some more detail that way. This is a 100% crop, looks like stars with a reddish circle? I did wonder if it all corresponded to the night sky but some seem randomly placed and others not so much and mirror each other. Almost like they didn't finish the whole job and the entire ceiling should have had them.

The skill of these people to design and build this, really impressive. Nice colours captured here.

Thanks Alan! Totally agree, the blending of form and function is evident everywhere you look in these old buildings. It boggles the mind how much planning must have gone into them.

Great shot of one of my fave ceilings

 

[BobBCN]

I really like the bubble bokeh. Very effective.
Intricate works well, too. Craftmanship at its finest!!

Intricate works really well.

Ideal for the theme.

Week 47 Ancient tech flash

Ancient or positively prehistoric... A very lazy use of on camera/ phone flash as the indoor lighting was very poor.

Diplomystus dentatus a 48m year old freshwater predator related to the modern Herring and Sardine

 

[-Oy-]

Something fishy going on there!

Tell us more.

 

[RyanB]

Something fishy going on there!

Tell us more.

Just something I found under the cooker, I should really clean under there more often...

I've updated the description in the OP with some details.

 

[Boots]

Definitely ancient!

Might be past its best... does it pass the sniff test?

 

[SimonH]

Where’s the chips?

Nicely “caught”

[Kell]

It’s funny. It’s a photo of nothing and yet it’s a really nice abstract.

 

[BobBCN]

Love your circles image - that lens has a lot of potential.
