Neat, very neat! I think it's spot on, and the B&W suits it very well indeed :)

Abstract - clever use of mirror, abstract indeed and the mono carries it off nicely..

A good use of black and white - it makes you focus more on the abstract images from the mirror instead of being distracted by colour!:)

Thanks peeps (y)
The colour one, was wayyy to distracting :LOL:
 
Hi Paulie

Very interesting mirror mister & great use for the theme , mono works really well (y)
 
Hi Paulie - bit of catch up.

Random - it's a random shot so i suppose on theme. Good use of focus. Really like the pp which gives it a bleak unsaturated feel with detail of patina in the bar. (y)

Temperature - excellent exposure ; like the detail of the ribs in the umbrella. good contrast in colours and a lovely blue in the sky, highlighted by the halo around the edge of the brolly. (y)

Abstract - very abstract image. Like the mono treatmant
 
Hi, Paulie, abstract, not one of your strongest, I feel.

I'm not seeing abstract. B&W is good to reduce the amount of information and it's an unusual photograph.

Cheers.

Abstract - Very nice, loads of interest in the picture without it being over fussy... nice one

Delta Skies said:
Well spotted. The multi facets of the mirror do make this very abstract whilst still keeping some resemblance of normality in there

Thanks all (y)

Temp - good sunburst, clever doing it through the umbrella. Nice sky colour and the contrast against the black.

Abstract - unusual! Definitely on theme and good use of B&W

Thanks Alex (y)
 
Tried to think of something a little different, and came up with this ...


Week 24: Symmetry by Paulie W, on Flickr

Thanks for looking (y)
 
I like it the pic is symmetrical and also the object is symmetrical too (y)
 
oooo I like this one. A little niggle in that I'd have liked to have seen the base of the subject but have to say this has been really well lit giving it a natural feel to it which has been complimented by a nice background colour.

Thanks, mate ... As much as I tried, because the base is dark metal, I couldn`t get it, without making the rest, too light. Kinda looks like it`s floating though :D

I like this one too, nice bit of colour in the bg.

Thanks, Michael (y)
 
superpippo said:
Good idea and nice shot. Agree with you that the lighting gives the impression that the candelabra is floating. good colours

Hi Paulie

Symmetry - A nice idea that, love the lighting, background and the feint detail in the actual candelabra, well set up and taken !!!!

Thanks chaps (y)
 
Very nice symmetry shot. I like these ones that use symmetrical subjects rather than creating symmetry in PP. I like that they're not perfectly symmetrical.

(BTW, I do like the PP created ones too, it's maybe just that ANYTHING can fit the theme if you mirror it :))
 
Symmetry bang on, the composition and lighting i think you've nailed, its very nice

Very nice Paulie, the lighting is great and makes it very atmospheric! I also like the background colour!!:)

Thank you most kindly, peeps :D

@ Sarah ... Background is my Lounge :LOL: So an easy job really.

Like that one Paulie, very atmospheric the base being in darkness doesn't detract any from the image, the candles hold the viewers eye IMHO. Iain

Moody & Re-Shoot ... I`m passing (as i`m not sure if i`m going to continue).
 
oooohnooooo....you've posted some belting images Paulie , be a shame to see you go....maybe have a couple of weeks off then see if your enthusiasm for the challenge returns ? But if you decide no , then shame , but I can appreciate why...felt like throwing in the towel for the last 23 weeks myself :LOL:

whichever way you go , don't be a stranger mister (y)

Thanks, Marsha ...:D


It had got to the stage, where it was becoming a chore, and that`s when the plug has to be pulled.

Oh :(

No point doing it if you're not enjoying it, but it certainly didn't show in your results.

It's a shame your leaving. Many thanks for your input both in good photos and your comments. Hope to bump into you elsewhere on TP in the future.

Cheers guys ...
I`ll keep up with those who are contacts on flickr, and comment as usual, when I see something that grabs me :D

Enjoy yourselves (y)
 
You've made the correct choice Paulie, it's a hobby not a job, once it becomes a chore it's time to stop, if you don't you'll get total cheesed of with photography altogether.

Your supposed to be having fun and that'll come through in your images.
