WORLDWIDE PHOTO WEEK: PART 144 -- Alleys

[BLS]

Every week we select a new theme to shoot. The theme for this week is "Alley" and/or "Locks." Shoot one or both themes, your choice. Be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme -- the sky's the limit!


Here are the rules:

1. Shots need to be taken between sunrise Monday and sunset the following Sunday. Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives. Snap shots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!

2. Post your shots at any time during the week.

3. Post a maximum of two shots if you're uploading them to POTN (i.e., attaching them). You can post more than two if you're linking to shots that are not hosted by POTN (i.e.,embedding them), but keep within POTN rules. Also keep within POTN rules about size. A copy of the size rules can be found here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=194511 (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=194511)

An index to previous weeks can be found here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=170603 (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=170603)

That's it! Have fun!

Holy smokes!! I would be sitting at home by the fire!

[John_B]

monty28428,
That is where I am right now (good thing to because its heating my house on this single digit early evening) having a drink seeing the news flash of how the NY Giants won! Ahh..... I feel good :lol:

[BLS]

Gosh, John, that is miserable weather.
Looks windy, too.

We're also having a single-digit night.
Thankfully, the wind calmed down, so the chill factor isn't as bad as it was earlier today.

OK, so this is more of a latch than a lock, but I really like the looks of it :D

[BLS]

I like the looks of it too.
Unusual.

[monty28428]

Cool shot ssracer!

No snow here John ;-)

[John_B]

ssracer,
I like it also :)

monty28428,
What lens did you use for that photo? ???

BLS,
I didn't even realize you added the "Locks" to this weeks topic? ???
So I whipped this one up for "Locks"

Lock and Key

One more.

Just saw your note John (nice lock btw!) - Both with the 17-40@29mm

[ssracer]

Hmmm...John_B, your lock seems to be missing it's door...lol

[John_B]

Hmmm...John_B, your lock seems to be missing it's door...lolssracer,
Hmm.......... I can see it :lol:









Kidding of course... :lol:

[monty28428]

Had a little bit of fun in photoshop... sign isn't quite right...

[BLS]

That's quite a mood change, Monty.

[BLS]

My attempt at Locks:

[BLS]

Ideas for topics for the new theme:

1. Spots
2. Creepy
3. Hats
4. Curves

Let us know your preferences. And if you have ideas for the new theme, don't be shy about sharing them!

[monty28428]

Nice Barbara -- and those are awesome locks!! How old are they?? (if you know..)

Curves sounds pretty good.

[zincozinco]

im pretty sure this is from monday, however it might be a tuesday shot.....

[BLS]

Monday & Tuesday both work for the assignment.:)
The light you captured is nicely calm & restful.
Looks like there's a garden on a rooftop.

[John_B]

BLS,
Nice lock, do you know what the letters stand for? ???

Oh.. I think we did Curves already, back in April WORLD WIDE PHOTO WEEK: PART 108 -- Curve(s) (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=5322128) Of course there is nothing wrong with doing again.... ;)

zincozinco,
Nice alley ;)

[BLS]

Yes, we already did Curves.
As soon as I saw that Monty said he preferred Curves, I thought, "Gee, that sound familiar."
Then I went to the index, and, sure enough, there it was -- Curves!! :rolleyes:

We can always do Curves plus something else.
I kind of like choosing 2 topics per week.
Gives me more to look for.

The lock & its key are both stamped with this: "W. Bumannan Brooklyn, NY,NY" The M in the last name might be an H. I can't really tell.
I should do a search on the name, but don't have time today.

So what new theme or themes do we want?

[Skrim17]

Weather, close-up, windows, feet, rings...just a few suggestions.

[BLS]

Thanks, Crissa!

Let's have two themes again this week -- Curves and Windows
