setting up!

“Beware the man who owns only one gun. He probably knows how to use it.”

“Reality leaves a lot to the imagination.” – John Lennon

Thinking of these two quotes make images with a prime lens of between 40 and 50mm equivalent full frame, or tape your zoom to that sort of focal length for the evening. When you process your image no cropping, cloning or image blending please, just global adjustments for colour balance/monochrome and tone if needed and resize for the web. Have fun and surprise me!

(on APSc focal length between 25 and 30mm, on 4/3 between 20 and 25mm)

Body in the Bathroom

[David Allen]

Well thank you all for indulging my off the wall intro to tonights challenge.

There has been a super collection of images and some really creative work and looking at the ordinary and making something extraordinary.

Eric I specially like the second in your series of the old bike chain wheel.
Paul I knew that spaghetti grew on trees but the bananas!
Maxine the pegs on the line is an inspired piece of seeing and beautifully composed.
Harvey the thinker is very effective and the biker is just scary.
Pam a lovely sunset and lamb henge is the most amazing timing for the picture - brilliant.

My winner for tonight is Maxine I think the pegs which at first sight is just a pattern picture tells a story really well alluding to the washing that has been out on the line earlier. The colours and composition are super.

[Harvey Mutch]

Well done Maxine!

[Maxine Abbott]

Ooooh, thank you David, I am shocked as there were some great pictures posted. Well done to all the others, some good entries

[Eric M Palmer]

Well done Maxine will be interesting to see what you set. Does seem Thursday attracts more than Wednesday bit of a poor turn out but could be because so close to Easter.
