Pete is a third generation sign writer and has a granddaughter studying Fashion Photography in Bath. He was out in the freezing rain painting in gold paint on the window of Emsworth's newest bar.
Every pedestrian who had to walk past him, as the pavement opposite the road is blocked by fallen roof tiles, stopped to admire his craftsmanship.
Northy challenged me to either download a new phone app or try out a new setting on my camera. This is Dynamic Monochrome on the camera, the phone app is history as it constantly locked up my phone!
@northy Hi I persevered with the 'phone app, but it was very limited and it froze my phone too often- now deleted!! Instead I braved the weather today and tried out the different monochromes my new camera does I shall experiment with the silky and dynamic more next week for the FoR,
Thanks for the challenge, it made me look for black and white scenes (I struggle to see in monochrome!)
This is a fabulous shot, great composition. I have the TZ90 which I hardly ever use and have no idea what it has to offer but I just grabbed it after reading your comment and I’m surprised at all the different settings there are.
Perfect for the various challenges especially the artist challenge! Impressed that you are still learning new things all the time. Perhaps I should try. FAV
Wonderful action shot! Didn’t know that the supporting stick he uses was called a mahl stick….I use one myself when painting and in need of a bit of support
Nicely done by both you and Pete. I fear that sign writing like this may soon be a thing of the past. So many signs now are designed on a computer and printed out whatever the customer wants.
Oh, Jackie, this is nice, on so many levels. I like seeing working hands, especially skilled hands in a trade I admire. I too, admire your curious mind, always learning and improving. Keep it up!
