Hi Susie, both good images, sewing machine was one of my ideas too. I like the processing on both if I had to choose I think the sewing machine some nice detail in there
Both are good clean shots, nicely picked out against the black background.
The sewing machine for me, due to the reflections.
Hi Susie
A couple of nice shots there, liking the colour of both of them, but for me it's going to be the sewing machine, really like the angle and the reflection
Two nice idea's Susie, I'm with the other two guys as well the sewing machine has it
Hi Susie,
Two good shots there. I'm going against the flow here, no 2's my favourite, I like the angle you've shot at (or maybe it's because I just like what foodmixers produce!)
My vote also goes to the sewing machine. I've spent many hours in front of one making kites to not like it. For my it's the reflection of the foot that makes it.
Close up - certainly looks a lovely place to be! I did smile when I read you were not actually wearing your boots, cant say I blame you!
Machine is the sewing machine one for me, like the processing too
Another vote for the sewing machine here Susie.
It was a shot that occurred to be too...but I neither have a sewing machine, nor know anyone with one...which put paid to that
I too have thought of Sewing Machine but then thought ours is a bit boring modern-looking. You've done well there Susie zooming in on the needle like that ... good reflection too. And the mixer ...
Hi Susie
Sewing machine shot for me , nothing wrong with the whisk one but the the sewing machine one stands out more , like the inclusion of the reflection& the subtle color tone, don;t think it would have worked quite as well in B&W...nice work missus
Yep another one for the sewing machine shot but that said both are really top draw shots
Whisk for me. I like the angle and lack of shadow detail works for me.
Cheers.
Hi, Susie, sounds like an interesting project.
I honestly don't care about the and to quote Ansel Adams, "There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept."
Really weathered hands and I've always admired people who can make things.
Cheers.
oh dear I did a sewing machine too, and me an engineer lol. I think both your machine shots look a little dark tbh. I like your close-up re-shoot. are you doing your hands project on here? sounds very interesting
Machine - the sewing machine for me, great detail and the reflection in the shiny base works really well.
Close Up - same comments as on your Hands thread - great shot
Good luck with the project Susie, it sounds interesting, and a nice close up too
Plane and simple ( sorry )
Hi Susie - I really like the combination of shots in your alphabet montage ( is that the right word?), it's like a flash of instant sunshine - nice
Some really beautiful flower shots you've taken there Susie. And I like your montage treatment.
Hi Susie, was scrolling UP the pics thread and spotted this.. Immediately thought this has to be yours.
Lovely contrast of the flowers on the blue BG, fitting with the blue of the frame nicely. Text and font is perfect too.
Of the individual shots... Centre left is a beauty. I do like a bit of back lighting and you've used that fantastically well here.
What a brilliant idea ... and well executed. Love the constant yellow of the flowers with some green thrown in and the happy sky blue BG.
My favourite, make that three .... ML, MR, BR.
As others have pointed out, the reflection adds to the sewing MACHINE shot.
With the ALPHABET combo, the individual images are very good. I like the two either side of the title best.
SOUND fits the theme perfectly. It also occured to me but there's no pond on my balcony!!
Hi Susie, implied sound works well, my only thought is that I find the foliage a little distracting, although others may argue it adds balance and context. If it was me I would have underexposed and used either flash or a torch to illuminate the water on its own.
Like I said that's just me. However you've captured the implied sound well
Alphabet. Very bright and colourful....they look like happy flowers!
Sound.....The implication of sound must be a strong one, because now I need to pee
We wouldn't want thatThanks Chris ...yes perhaps I could have taken it at night and used the flash on my camera, it doesn't go off in daylight and I don't have an external one. But I may have fallen in in the dark
