POTW - Week Ending 28/4/2019
Hatter posted a topic in POTW,
Honourable mentions go to:
Johntwo for "A World of Their Own" - a great piece of street photography.
The Longman for "Blue Harbour" - a superb demonstration of how an ordinary scene can be transformed by effective use of Photoshop.
and Stravinsky for "Lake Wanaka" - a beautiful landscape with great light and composition.
But my choice for this week is "Zooooom" by Black Pearl - taking us on a surreal trip along the "Road to Hell":

Top toggers for me this week were........
Fuji with his superb 'You Are Invited' - Street photography at its best.
ChorleyJeff with 'Buttermere Trees' - A beautifully simple landscape.
Ryewolf with 'Church Steeple' - A lovely painterly image that shows off Rye's Topaz skills.
All these could have been winners were it not for Johntwo's superb photograph 'Scotsman at Speed'. Great technique, great processing, great presentation and then a great dollop of nostalgia to boot. Congrats, John, that really is a belter.

Clicker posted a topic in POTW,
I have chosen my winning image because it is a really good example of making something out of almost nothing ... Many may not have noticed the image that presented itself here to the photographer because looking and seeing are very different skills so hats off to CMunzel ...Cheryl for her Door Castlemaine. I love textures and writing in images and peeling paint and pictures that make you ask questions ... so Well done Cheryl for spotting and composing a fabulous image from the mundane .

Kobione posted a topic in POTW,
Browsing through the Landscape section there are some very nice sunset pictures but one of them stood out for me. The sky colour in this image is superb and the clouds add interest and contrast to the colour as well. The general composition is great with the lighthouse looking at the same level as the distant sea level, I would love to make my way up that path up to the top, and the light giving texture to the water close to the shore also adds something to the image as a whole. There is certainly some 'wow' factor in this one!
So well done John, this one is a beauty!!

First mention goes to Ryewolf for the superb shot he titled 'A Forest Path' - great processing that produced a very atmospheric image.
Mention two goes to Black Pearl for his set of photographs 'Mono Falls' Excellent work that I enjoyed very much. Who wouldn't enjoy these?
However, my POTW goes to Brian for his 'Spinning Top' image. It's a little bit quirky and it's a little imperfect, but the colours are a delight and the the blur on the top works brilliantly with the OOF background to make for a very compelling image. In my view a very worthy POTW.
Well done, Brian!

Ryewolf,POTW - Week ending 10/03/2019
Ryewolf posted a topic in POTW,
However, this one set I've been back and viewed several times from the mono category. I liked them not because they were mono conversions but because they were actually shot on B/W film, James is one of the few members, in fact maybe the only member, that regularly shots on film using all sorts of weird and wonderful cameras and film stock.
So this shot from Letcombe Brook is my choice for POTW

Kobione posted a topic in POTW,
There has been some lovely bird photography - ducks, cranes, kingfishers, kites and even a flamingo, good work all who put these posts up!
Some very nice images in the Mono thread, and Clicker's 'Having a Breather' came seriously into consideration too - nice!
Then, as I popped in to do this task I saw a whole new post by Black Pearl. This set includes everything we expect from BP's coastline shots - waves, rocks, a lighthouse, nice clouds and lovely coloured skies, great composition and very atmospheric ones with the fog too, and a great night shot as well.
Several in this set are very nice, but I've gone with one that really appealed to my eye, love the simplicity and composition of the scene, the subtle colours. cloud over the rock and the nice sun rays, the smooth reflection in the water and the 'soft soggy look' of the sand around it.
This whole set is well worth a look - and welcome back BP, lovely to see your classic type of pictures again, well done!
The original fantastic set can be seen HERE

Hatter posted a topic in POTW,
There have been plenty of excellent images to choose from... but I managed to narrow it down to five, before finally picking one.
So... honourable mentions go to:
Paul for his excellent macro of a ladybird (#2 in this thread: http://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/21911-ladybird/ )
Paul again for his Nasty Weevil (#3 in this thread: http://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/21918-nasty-weevil/ )
RogerW for his Kingfisher (#1 in this thread: http://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/21922-siskin-and-kingfisher/ )
Fuji for his wonderfully quirky "Two Faced": (http://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/21890-two-faced/ )
But my choice for this week's winner is Johntwo's "Arrivals & Departures":
The low viewpoint, wide angle, bright colours and really effective composition made this the stand-out image of the week for me.
The original thread is here: http://www.tipf.co.uk/forums/topic/21932-arrivals-and-departures/
Well done, John!

Johntwo's 'Lindisfarne Boat Hulls' gets a very honourable mention for its superb processing.
Longman's 'Misty Morning Sunrise' gets likewise - beautifully atmospheric, beautifully processed.
RogerW's 'Nuthatch' shots also get a massive thumbs-up, as do NikonMikes' swan images. Top stuff!
They were all serious contenders, but.........
In the end, I went for an image that came up on the rails at the last minute and really twanged my braces with its detail, its composition and its lovely simplicity. I've chosen Leon's 'Robin' as my POTW.
Well done, Leon - that one's a real belter.

Ryewolf,POTW - Week ending 27/01/2019
Ryewolf posted a topic in POTW,
In macro and close-up we had Kobione's massive spider and Paul's Opilione (Harvestman). There were plenty of birds from Roger, Bill, Denis and JamesT. There was a nice crop of landscapes from David from the Leeds/Liverpool canal, Morton Castle at night from Scott, a very atmospheric Loch Lomond from The Longman and a very cold looking Hunstanton from Vanguard. FUJI provided some excellent street photography as usual and there were excellent images from John of the Fredriks Kirke in Copenhagen, elsewhere we had some great monochromes from Vanguard and Clicker.
However, there were a set of images that drew me back, they were quirky, innovative, expertly composed and made me smile and far too good to be in The Just For Fun section. It was difficult to choose just the one:
The original post can be found here:
So congratulations to Brian
Also a honourable mention to Simon's (SJR) Craig's Super Wolf Blood Moon that made everyone smile.
