2016 Project 52, 3rd Quarter by Janis

Thanks, Binnur.

[joebranko]

Great images! 1, 3 a d 6 are my favorites. Love the b&w treatment also.

[purplehaze]

Thanks, Joe.

I am going to try to catch up this thread before I fall too far behind. I'm going to skip Week 35, as all I have to show are some not very good kiteboader shots that I am still trying to rescue.

Week 36

These are from a Monday morning walk on the beach before driving back into the city for work. The sun had not yet cleared the trees and so there were interesting shadows, and warm/cool colour contrasts. I was also interested in trying to catch the waves as they broke on the rocks and the shore. I like the serendipitous quality of this kind of shooting, and the fact that it puts me in sync with nature's rhythms.

Week 37

On this outing, I was more preoccupied by the colour and texture of the rocks.

#6 Echoes of last week's theme


#7 She was rather insistent on getting into the picture, so...

[Urbanflyer]

particularly love your #6! Looks like it was a good day!

[Shadowman]

Nicely done, you've achieved your goal on both.

[bnnrcn]

What about cropping #7 from the RHS and eliminating the sky from the top? IMO a square frame would work very nice and your dog would stand out Janis

[Geoff F]

#2 and 5 are my preference; where the rock texture is still evident but the rocks are seen in a wider environment.

Yes to a little bit of cropping from the right of #7, but there are several options for a resulting image ratio and all would work. So perhaps a case of trying a few before doing anything permanent.

[purplehaze]

Thanks, Judith, John, Binnur and Geoff. As I was posting last night, I was myself thinking #7 might do with a crop.

[bnnrcn]

Yes, this is what I had in mind. How is she doing Janis ? She looks happy

Thanks, Binnur. Except that the lump in her mouth is now quite visible, she is doing great. She is very much herself, which is at once a source of joy and heartache. My workplace is being extremely accommodating and I am working at home four days a week so that we can enjoy autumn walks while the sun is high.

[joebranko]

Love the composition of #5. Superb!

[purplehaze]

Thanks, Joe!

I'm glad that she is fine and you are having nice times together Janis

Good work, Janis. I really like this style of photography with strong foreground elements. The light on the water in number 3 makes it my favourite, also the foreground focus is excellent, great depth of field overall in number 3 as well.

Re week 37
Good continuation of your beach series. I particularly like one and two as the texture and colour is very clear and there is enough background to provide context and perspective.

[purplehaze]

Thanks for your comments, Lindsay.

Picking up where I left off....

Week 38

The first four were shot with the Sony pocket camera. They are from a fall walk in one of our urban forests, which contains a lovely marsh. Someday, I will have to go on a birding expedition there.

The next two were shot with the Nikon later in the week, at the lake.

Nice set, Janis...I have no preference...yet. I am just enjoying your journey at this time...

[Geoff F]

These shots just go to show that, when used with care, some 'pocket cameras' can produce good results.
