Love this image!!!
Picturit: Thank you so much Ray,
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Terrific image Astrid. That looks like a well worn vice.
Picturit: It is taken on the farm I work on the project, it is a photographers heaven....if you know what I mean, I will post some more in a few weeks.
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Oh yes! If ever there was something to depict Strength, this would be it, Astrid! This one has really been put to the test and has your name written all over it!
Picturit: Dankjewel voor je lieve compliment, when I saw the theme of today, I could not resist not to post,
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Industrial equipment is almost a thing of the past in the UK these days, so it's great to see something so vividly depicted.
Reminds me of the lathes and tools I used at school in metalwork classes. Gorgeous warm tones to the photograph enhance a terrific capture
Picturit: I always love to love people who work the metal, it is too bad that a lot of the real craft is just dying.
Thank you for your kind words. Have a great weekend. Astrid.
I loooove it. Great detail and light. And wonderfully composed.
Picturit: Thank you for your kind words
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
très belle image. l'ère industrielle est toujours belle en photo
Picturit: You are so right here, it is well used and i always love to watch peole to work at it.
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
A very `strong` photograph, Astrid. Rich in colour and detail. Glad to hear that all is progressing well. (:o)
Picturit: Thanks for your kind words, a few more weeks and than I will be able to be on SC more regular.
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
They always told me you have no vices Astrid!
Picturit: ...but...but...I don't have them......
Ginnie explained the double meaning of the word... Have a nice recuperation after that wine... Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Looks like the cleaning person has not been doing their job
Have a good one.
Picturit: It would have been a shame if this was cleaned out, don't you think????
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Interesting tools ( a kind of anvil of shoe tree?)- very fitting the day-theme "strength", we read again je handtekening, een zelfbeeld van jou had ook erg goed gepast bij dit onderwerp, niet waar? Goede wensen!
Picturit: Dank je wel Philine, je weet nu dat dit een bankschroef is, een erg sterke en grote, in de werkplaats van de boerderij staan allemaal prachtige objecten om te fotograferen, ik heb mijn statief meegenomen om een paar mooie foto's te maken.
Heel veel plezier in Rotterdam. Hartelijke groeten. Astrid.
When I saw this I thought immediately of strength. Love the colours, textures and lighting - superb.
Ingrid
Picturit: Thank you so much Ingrid, I saw the theme and I could not resist NOT to post, I had this vice already pictured.....
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
thats a lovely shot of a well used vice, I love stuff like this.
Picturit: Thank you so much, I love to look at these things to.
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
I see you have a vice to go with your many virtues! Great photo Astrid - the epitomy of strength, and nice to see the Astrid trademark lovingly rendered. ;o)
Picturit:
Thank you so much for your kind compliment as always. Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Ohhhh, I like the colors and the textures ... and the lighting. Really well done.
Picturit: Thank you so much for visiting and for you really kind words, in the workshop of the farm I am working now until September are many nice objects to capture.
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Stunning quality of light that you have put into this photograph, Astrid. The different surfaces are really quite exposed and clear. An attractive vice too.
Have a bella 'le weekend' jezelf auch.
Picturit: Thank you so much for your kind words, I was in the workshop when the sun came in through the very dirty window, I had taken my tripod with me for I intended to capture this vice and use for the theme, I just took the picture yesterday.
It is a huge vice, just a beauty, I know...I know....don't say anything, I know I am different, but I don't give a hoot that I am....that is better for my heart I enjoy tools it is just a shame that real craft is dying. Haben Sie ein sehr guter weekend pour vous et votre amis...merci beaucoup pour les mots aimables...... Hartelijke groeten Astrid., je vaste keyboard pal
Ik zag de naam in mijn RSS en ik vroeg mij af wat het zou zijn. En dit had ik niet verwacht, leuk!
Picturit: Leuk dat ik je nog kan verassen,
een goed weekend Astrid.
Oh ja, ik begrijp nu, nadat ik het Engelse woord 'vice' heb gelezen, een bankschroef of "ein Schraubstock"! In het Duits verbinden we met het woord helaas eerder een onaangename ervaring van 'in het nauw raken', 'pijn hebben', b.v. hoofdpijn.
Picturit: Ja Philine, 'iemand in de bankschroef hebben' is niet leuk...
Ginnie heeft mij ook een andere betekenis geleerd, het is ook iets van een niet zo leuke eigenschap. Ik heb je een beetje gevolgd op SC, mijn komplimenten, je bent erg goed aan het worden met reacties geven, mijn petje af, ik vind jou een 'toppertje' maar dit is met eerbied gezegd, heel veel respect!!!! Hartelijke groeten Astrid.
Nice shot Astrid. Lovely old vice that has seen much use.
Glad you are on schedule (never doubted it for a moment) Have a great weekend yourself
Picturit: I am glad you have confidence in me
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Powerful image Astrid, great tones and details. Love the strength this image portrays.
Picturit: Thanks John, this vice was just asking to be captured, it is a beauty.
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Nice shot Astrid. I'm pleased the project is on schedule.
Have a great weekend.
Picturit: Thank you Bernie, we are working hard, it might take a while before I am posting regular on SC again
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
I see you have returned Astrid...lovely picture. Nice to know your project is coming along nicely. Are you still coming to my neck of the woods? (new york)
Picturit: Yes I am, the 22 of september, cannot wait!!!!
Love the place. Thank you for your kind words. Have a great weekend. Astrid. BTW I will not post regular yet....too busy
well done astrid
ineed a 'strong' image
Picturit: Thank you Dr A.W, it is strong indeed.
Have a great weekend. Astrid.
Dit is werrklik 'n goeie foto om krag uit te beeld. Knap gedaan. Dis 'n hengse groot bankskroef.
Ek dink dit is van al jou gesleutel dat die mense dink jy is 'n hy Zeker weten ze had't goed begrepen. Arbeid adelt.
Picturit: Louis, thank you so much for your dear words, ja Louis, ik ben nu eenmaal iemand die graag met gereedschap in de weer is, ik heb de bankschroef van mijn vader gekregen, ook heb ik de handigheid van mijn vader geërfd, het is alleen jammer dat hij veel te vroeg is overleden om mij echt bezig te hebben gezien.
Ik ben trots op wat ik kan en doe. Het maakt mij absoluut niet uit dat ze mij voor een 'hij' aanzien, ik zie dat als een compliment, ik ben niet zo krampachtig, de mensen bedoelen het verschrikelijk goed en misschien ontmoet ik Ade en Ada in New York in September. Arbeit adelt inderdaad!!! Hartelijke groeten Astrid.
Wonderful. Love the simplicity and the metaphor for true 'strength'. Nice!
Picturit: Thank you Marcie, this to me is symbolic for 'strength'
Astrid
such a strong image and the colors really contribute to it
Picturit: Pieter, thank you so much for visiting and your kind words, BTW are you Dutch??
I have been visiting your blog, very impressive. Astrid.
Very old vice!
Great color and texture. Do you observe that your name is forged on it? It's a joke...
Picturit: I knew you were joking...
Astrid.
Lovely picture, and I'm looking forward to the rest...
Goed weekend, en succes met de laatste loodjes van je project!
Picturit: Thank you so much, if I have time, I will post some more, dank je wel, ik hoop met twee weken toch wel 99% klaar te hebben.
Astrid.
I really do like this one, Astrid (not Ingrid)(nor Philine nor philline.
Picturit: Thank you so much Chad with C H A D, I am so pleased you like this one,
phoooo, now I can just lean back and relax.... Astrid.
Great strong image Astrid I like the comment left by Chris.
Picturit:
Astrid.
Hi Astrid,
I love photos like this too! You did a very nice job capturing this vice, and all the surrounding small details. I also like the depth and color the image has.
Picturit: Thanks Tom, in the workshop is a delight to capture pictures, when the sun is out, it gives a nice glow over the many tools...
I love these well used tools. Astrid
Great detail shot of this machine. I like the natural warm lighting.
Picturit: The sunlight came in through a very dirty small window, pure delight,
thank you for your kind words. Astrid.
This picture is so powerful, u sit staring at it... nicely done...
Picturit: Thank you Arun for your kind words, have a nice day.
Astrid.
I have lots of "Vices" in my life but none as beautiful as this. mal
Picturit:
Astrid.
Yes, one does get that feeling of strength, and something that has been used many times (all the scrapings lying about), despite its rustiness! Well done!
Picturit: It works very well, it is a powerfull vice, thank you for yoyr kind words.
Astrid.
What a lovely old bit of kit Astrid, and a very moody shot. I see you have another business going by the makers name!
Picturit:
Astrid.
An age-old mechanism, I wonder how it has changed over hundreds of years, maybe not much. It's a rich, beautiful photograph of an interesting subject.
I'm glad your project is on target!
Picturit: No Ruth, it did not change over the years, it might became more seldom though, bu I do have the vice of my father, it weighs a ton, but I cherish the piece, it comes in handy many many times.
We like to be finished for 99% in the next coming 2 weeks, but that means work 8 days a week... Thank you so much for your kind words as ever Ruth, enjoy the rest of the Sunday. Astrid.
Very nice, too, Astrid. As usual for you you have great detail and you've captured the subject perfectly.
Picturit: Alan, thank you so much for your kind words as always, these objects are a treat to capture.
Astrid.
Hi Astrid. This is beautiful. I love the tones and the textures. And the lighting is perfect.
Picturit: Thanks Kay, this vice just asked to be pictured....
Astrid.
Astrid this is a fantastic picture of strength. You have captured a great atmosphere here mij vreind.
Picturit:
I will write to you soon. Hope things are well with you. Astrid.
And the lady said she didn't like power tools, me thinks she doth protest! *wink*
Picturit:
Astrid.
The tone of the photo truly emulates the theme.. a strong picture !
Picturit: Thank you Jasp, I love taken pictures of these tools, they are so beautiful.
Hi just checking in. This is my cyberway of dropping in for coffee. Hope you're having a good day.
Picturit: You are always so welcome for a kopje koffie, I will be at my project all week, hope you have a great day too, hot and humid over here.
Astrid.
Great image, and aptly titled!
Picturit: Thank you Martie, thanks fro visiting and your kind words.
Astrid.
very warm colors and nice picture
Picturit: Thank you so much, the light came in through a very dirty window, that gave the soft glow.
Astrid.
Lovely picture - lovely detail and great tones here. Are you really sure we have the same camera?
I now habitually look for the watermark in all your photos.
Picturit: Thank you so much for your kind words, yes we do have the same camera, the light however came through a vrey dirty window and I did some adjustments to the camera setting.
When I have some spare time I always am playing around with the camera, see what is does under different circumstances. Astrid.
and I see your name carved into the side of this vice...and that is before my kupjes de cougheey
Picturit:
Hope you did not melt yet in the UK, next week it will rain icecubes again here in Hollanda..... met de hartelijke au revoir aus mein kleiner Ländchen unter die Mehrspiegel.... Astrid.
Excellent shot. For some reason when I use my D80 I find it hard to get the right colors. How do you white balance your cammera? What white balance setting do you use predominantly? Please share.
