Collective Project 52 for 2025

I have not been doing much shooting lately, so I had to stand in the back yard and zoom-out to 400 mm. Not much. A shot. Cropped, straightened and downsized.

At 11.6 MP, it does not seem that much downsized. I guess that you could do down to less than 2 MP and keep the level of detail you have.

Cool. I'm guessing... for architectural/acoustical purposes... perforated ceiling or wall panels? Or maybe elevator cab interior wall panels?

Details of the Gustave Roussy metro station are reflected in the perforated stainless steel plates covering the underside of an escalator.

A little late to post for this week... and also a bit of a rehash as there was not a lot of opportunity to get out and shoot. The "rehash" part is... similarity to Week #1. Oh well, if it happens once every 10 weeks, that means I'll only post 5 train pictures (at night) for the whole year! Not too bad. Considering the locations I gravitate to. This one is kind of dark (because it WAS dark) but I liked the lights of the airplane turning toward final approach at SEA. I did not notice this while I was standing there waiting for a 30 second exposure to finish... only noticed it when I looked at the image on my computer screen. I probably could lighten it up a little bit, but then things turn more toward art than documentary/reality - and this isn't necessarily art worthy.

I find it very nice as is. Lightening it up would not improve it in my opinion.

A good day for sailing. Moderate wind and light rain - classic mid-March weather. There were a lot of boats out on the water this day (organized by the local yacht club) - I'm guessing maybe 20 or more (up ahead of this vessel... to the right).

Week 13

The Queen's Hamlet was built at the request of Marie-Antoinette on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. I hope I will be forgiven for finding it rather kitsch. It includes a house designed for her by the architect Richard Mique and built in 1786. Seeing the shadows over these windows, I could not help but think of the naive, clumsy queen full of country dreams who was imprisoned with her family in 1792 and then beheaded in 1793, at the age of 37.

Some truck! What would you think of removing about 10% of the image on its left, to get rid of the back part of a car?

Yes, good suggestion. I had already cropped the image a little bit for "balance" as I wanted to keep the "Peterbilt" sign on the building fully visible. So, based on my gut/instincts, I thought I'd need a little elbow-room on the left. But you are right! Turns out I didn't really need the extra real-estate on the left. I cropped-off the blue car with the dent in the bodywork by the rear wheel. Overall result is cleaner. Looks GOOD. Remains balanced. Cropping is something that I spend a fair amount of time fiddling with because it really does help make a picture more pleasing when it is done right. THANKS for the suggestion. :-)
