Rob’s Daily Shot

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

I am going to post a shot daily in this thread and keep it going as long as I am still feeling it. A way to improve. To share. To get opinions. And mainly just to have a bit of fun.

Day 1. Shrub.

[Patrick]

And your off with a good one , nature always finds a way 🙂

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Looks very fresh. Beautiful photo Rob 🙂

[LightandShadow]

I so often look for a love the juxtaposition of textures. This one does that for me.

Some of the greens, especially that one at the 1:00 position, might be a bit overexposed on my monitor.

Day 2. Bin Chicken

I have a hate hate relationship with the digital zoom on the iPhone 13.

[Patrick]

Round 2 already mate , i laughed at the name you called this Bird , In england the hedgehog got called a bush pig 🙂 this reminded me about it.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

They pull all the food out of the public bins so hence the nickname… lol

Day 3: Garden Flowers

Having a bit of trouble with the focus on the iPhone so hopefully this nailed it. Always seem to need to hone in on the very contrasting colours/tones to get it to find it.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love the contrasting colours and the details Rob 🙂

Day 4: Flower

Really hoping to get some black-and-white inspiration soon, but alas, I only have flowers.

[Patrick]

They all count mate , i like that pink and i love the red splash of colour on that yellow flower a lot 🙂

[LightandShadow]

Very colorful, off-centered. Classic.

Sometimes, colorful flowers make good b&w images too. I have tried desaturating rich green backgrounds to accentuate the color of the bloom. You might want to consider that to reduce the competition for attention.

Day 5: Blue Steel on the Light Rail

[Patrick]

Nice frame mate , riding the rails even 🙂 love it

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Day 6: Street Silhouette

[Dahlia Ambrose]

This looks really good with the long shadows Rob 🙂

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Day 7: Taking a break from shopping

[Patrick]

It is lovely to see you doing some street Rob , Another good capture.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Thanks mate – definitely not my natural state of being.

Day 8: Bobbi’s Pole Studio

[Patrick]

Pole as in dancing ?

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Yes mate. Look two window panes to the left.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Day 9: Legs (a day late cos I was having troubles with the site last night!)

[Patrick]

This is excellent Rob , i love unique compositions like this , really good in mono as well , Great job mate.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Thanks, mate. Some of the stuff I see from street photographers and that includes some of the stuff you post really makes me think about composition and how you approach it. As someone who mainly shoots landscape and Kids, I’m usually going to go with a conventional approach to composition, but when I’m trying to get a shot every day I find myself looking at other subjects and trying to approach it with a far more open mind like you guys do. Can’t say it’s a natural thing for me.

[Patrick]

This is the type of image that will stay in my mind long long long after i seen it so much so i would be on the lookout myself for some of this vibe and aesthetics.

Defo a winner for me 🙂 could be a still from something like the old famous five book

 

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Agree with Patrick. A very interesting composition and unique frame Rob 🙂

[LightandShadow]

These shoes and socks, combined with monochrome palette, suggest the 1950’s to me. Interesting how an image can evoke a time. It took me a few seconds to decipher the position of the feet, making me think something was off. That sort of confusion makes for engagement.

[Patrick]

I also get the same steve very 1950’s and i love it for that , it has a lovely look to it 🙂 , when i first seen it an old tv programme came to mind from my younger school days the program was called , Just william 🙂

Just William
TV Series
1977–1978

Day 10: Walking home

[Patrick]

Nice one Rob , defo keep going please i enjoy seeing these a lot 🙂

[LightandShadow]

Excellent lighting and feeling of family intimacy.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Thanks, folks – my main problem isn’t taking the photographs, it’s getting a second during the weekend to post my shot. My boys are nine and 10 and pick up a fair bit of time on the weekends. lol

[Patrick]

A demanding age for you all , as dad spending time with kids and the kids being still young need you guys around …enjoy that time mate but i am sure you do anyway 🙂

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Day 11: Lost dreams

[Patrick]

Nice capture mate , an old kodak store those yellows reds and blues all make for a nice mood 🙂

[LightandShadow]

Nicely done. The building is level while the street is not. Framed wide enough to make me want to explore what’s next door on either side while not distracting from the main subject. The title ties it all together.

[Robert Apple]

It’s a nice capture of a Subject I abhor, Dirty city’s full of graffiti and urban decay, When I end up in places like this I’m as out of place as a turd in a punch bowl.

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Day 12: Local mural

[Patrick]

Another good one , so much to explore , my eye went straight to the planet , then the face piece then the red draws my eye down to street level , lovely like a winding path through composition .. I better get out and do some practicing 🙂

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Thanks mate. I think you would have a ball taking photographs around this area.

[Patrick]

Your right about that , i follow a few street shooters from your area mate and i love what i see in terms of possibilities , my niece and her partner are heading your way in january for 2 years working .. She loves the outdoor life such as surfing ecct .. she won’t come back when she goes 🙂

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Day 13: Lord Mayor Pidgeon

[Patrick]

Lovely leading line to that beautiful building , such gorgeous geometry Rob 🙂

 

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Thanks mate – I always love looking for leading shot lines around architecture.

[Dahlia Ambrose]

Love the juxtaposition and the leading lines Rob 🙂

[Rob Wood (Admin)]

Thanks Dahlia. 🙂
