WORLD WIDE PHOTO WEEK: Part 174 - T

[joayne]

Every week we select a new theme, and then go out and shoot that theme. This week the theme is "T". As always be as imaginative/creative as you like when interpreting the theme, creativity is what we're looking for!


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: IMAGE POSTING RULES (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=194511)

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

That's it! Have fun!

I'll start off the week with a TOOTH... Fossilized Mastodon Tooth:

It is standing on the root of the tooth.. size comparison is a US quarter and a 2 Euro.

I've just spent the last hour or so going through some of the previous weeks posts and I've really enjoyed the journey. It has got me thinking about 'T', so if nobody minds, can a forum newbie join in?

Nice interpretation John!

Ok here are two I just shot around the house. I'm at home today, sick, so I figured I'd try SOMETHING at least.

1. Tea

Hopefully that tea helped your sore throat.

nice lighting, DOF

Thanks :)
I put a piece of 11x17 paper behind the mug, on the kitchen island. Lighting is natural from the skylight and sliding glass door. ;) Shot with the 50mm 1.8

I just knew someone would do tea, but I didn't think about tee. Nicely done both.

Are you a golfer John? We have over three hundred courses out here, but it is too hot to play anytime after 9 am. :p

You forgot to do all that while twirling in Tacoma.

Hey, Tacoma... I can shoot something in town and submit that too. :)

Looks like it needs Two tea bags in that mug :lol: Great shot :)

I don't like it that strong but for photographic purposes, you're RIGHT! :)

[joayne]

Hey John, you must have a sweet Tooth!

[thebugster1]

John nice pic, at first I thought those were red hots, but now I see that they are Roma Tomatoes?? I LOVE tomatoes, I could eat them plain everyday of my life, lol! Tomatoes are Terrific!

[Sundowner]

OK, my first effort at this:

Takeaways
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd273/Sundowner_album/Takeaway01.jpg

I spent the day at a local holiday resort with my wife and daughter, we initially went there for other business but spent the afternoon wandering around the resort of Great Yarmouth. More takeaways:

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd273/Sundowner_album/Takeaway04.jpg

It was an awful drizzly day for the hundreds of holidaymakers that are there but for us it was a welcome chance to get out and about.

[thebugster1]

Sundowner that term "take-away" threw me off. I have never heard of that. Here in the states we call it "to-go".

[Sundowner]

LOL, at least it starts with a 'T'

Yes here in good old Blighty, food/drinks eaten away from the vendor is called 'Takeaway'

[thebugster1]

Well it's about lunch time here and I would definitely "Takeaway" some fish n chips right now! ;)

I won't tell you that I've just had Fish 'n' Chips for my evening meal then :lol:

[theague]

Wait, you just did!! ;)

you make me miss the UK!

[Sundowner]

Are you an ex-pat then or have you worked/holidayed over here. I have to admit I think I'd swap places with you anyday, this country is going to pot but that's for another forum I guess ;)

Well, on with my day and 'T' in particular, I got to thinking that a holiday resort is full of tourists ;)

I've spent some time over there on holiday. Mostly in Scotland but I've been through London a few times, Leeds a couple times, over to the Green Isle. I have some very close friends in Leeds and Aberdeen. I miss it always but more so when I see photos from over there. :)

[Sundowner]

By now, as I think you can tell, I'm really in the mood for this but I'm also scrapping the bottom of the barrel in terms of the 'T' theme but these 3 are what I call 'Tat', the rubbish that many resort shopkeepers sell to the tourists.

This last one is not about me having a dig at the poor man who recently passed away but his face was everywhere on just about anything that an image could be transfered onto, most of it total rubbish with no value but anything with his face on it seemed to be a higher price than just the ordinary superstars that end up on these sort of products.

Scotland is a beautiful country, as is Ireland, my wifes family live in Dublin. I love Aberdeen, or at least the parts I've seen of it but I'm afraid all I ever saw of Leeds was industrial estates so I'm not in any position to comment. I hate London but then I grew up fairly close to it and spent many weekends 'up town' as a teenager (didn't really like it much then either). I suppose it does have its good points but it's not my favourite place (sorry Londoners).

not a big fan of London myself. Last time I was there was for three nights, saw Phantom of the Opera and toured a bit since my wife had never been. Once was enough for me. ;)

There isn't much to Leeds. It's only redeeming quality is that it's near to Tadcaster which is where Samuel Smiths is at :p

That is a beautiful capture joayne!

Thanks.. tho, I was miffed I cut off the wing tip.. But these guys are so erratic they are tough to track.

I was checking out your Podcasts.. You've got a broken hyper-link for this week. Interesting projects :)

I've just checked my podcast page, all seems fine now but it can play up at times, I'm on a free account there and they look after their paying customers first :-| It is a bit of fun though.

I spent over two hours on a local beach the other day trying to get a decent shot of an Arctic Tern and this was the best I got and even that is lowsy

Tis a great shot. To bad about the tip as you said. Love the angle of the bird though. :)

Thanks Mr Pants..

Looking for suggestions for the coming week..

Come on y'all, what would be interesting and generate lots of photo shooting..

Think about it while we wait for the ones lurking, but not posting to get their post on!

I promise I'm trying to eek one out this week!

*I actually know of other lurkers about (and you know who you are!), so it isn't just you...

[joayne]

Bricks

apparently, you have something in mind. ;)
I did see some "bricks" on you Zenfolio page, Kody
Seems it is a subject you fancy :)


(I like 'em too!)


OK


1) Bricks

[Sundowner]

Bricks........hmmmmmmm

I'll try not to spam this one quite so much, I kinda got carried away with 'T' didn't I! Enjoyed it though and there are some excellent 'T's here, particularly like the tomato T and the Tern turning

It's true, I'm guilty of lurking.:oops:
But the good news is that I'm planning to get out and about today to look for T's, among other things.

Suggestion: Signs of Our Times

I like the T shots.
Which reminds me, Joayne it looks as though you worked out your sharpness problems with you new lens. Did you?

[75D]

Just got back from Three weeks as a Tourist in South Wales, Cornwall and London and this is a shot of a couple of British Telephone Booths. A lot of T's there.
Now the hard part of processing the loads of pictures I took.
I could go along with Bricks.

Neither is w/the new lens. I wanted it for travel and now I'm considering NOT taking it with me. I am very disappointed with the 24-105 on my 5D. That is supposed to be the ideal combination. I'm sticking with my 24-70 I guess :confused:


For next weeks suggestions:

1) Bricks
2) Signs of Our Times



Let's hear more please :)



75: Nice T's :)

[BLS]

Gosh, Joayne, I thought your new lens was a 400mm.
I didn't realize it was a 24-105.
The only reason I haven't sold my 24-105 is because I think I will eventually get a FF, so I'm saving it for that.
With that in mind, I'd be interested to know why you're disappointed with the 24-105 & 5D combination.

Hey, Spud, good to see you up and posting. We need all the participation we can get :)

This one is a dilly.. Just hope they don't "transform" and become our nemesis.:p:p

[TATER64]

Cheers Joayne
I had to transform a ISO shot at 1600 down to an ISO100 Shot i'm such a dill,a good bit a noise reduction was required.note to ones self take a better look at settings next time !!!!

Excellent fit for the T theme!!

[joayne]

Well, I like Theleague's idea of BRICKS, which can be found HERE (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=8350543#post8350543).

So hit the Bricks and post 'em up!! :)
