Tuesday Photo Challenge – Scale

Welcome to week 203 of the Tuesday Photo Challenge!

I figured that after all that rather fine Junk of the past week, it might be time to get on the Scale (for me, at least). Thank you to Robert for inspiring this theme, as the junk scale left a guiding trace within my mind… Of course, we can do more than weigh with this theme, as we might use it to indicate the scale of things, or maybe some HO or N scale for model train fans… Even an occasional fish scale! It’s your choice and your imagination that will guide you along a path of fun and exciting imagery!

So, don’t scale back and go big to have a lot of fun with this one! I’m very much looking forward to what you might generate this week!

Here’s a bit of an indication of scale…

True Colors

This image of the Old Stone Church in West Boylston goes back to 2004 and my first Canon digital camera, the EOS 10D; digital camera technology has come a long way since then, but it was a lot of fun to re-edit this image using Luminar 4 and finishing touches in Photoshop. As I did this quick edit on my laptop, I want to take a closer look on my desktop system and will likely redo it… it’s just not 100% what I want yet…

The full rules of this challenge are in TPC Guidelines, but here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
  • Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
  • Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
  • Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!

May the scales of fortune tip in your favor this week and inspire you to create something extraordinary!

    Apart from the scale and the colours, I like the shape of the church. Must be quite amazing inside too.

    I give you the other end of the scale: https://anotherglobaleater.wordpress.com/2020/03/04/watching-the-walls-of-mumbai/

    Frank, this exercise was seriously testing the limits of my post-production capabilities.

      And the results are fantastic. As it’s the HMS Amsterdam, I guess it was not a titanic effort 🙂

    Love those fantastic colours – and the evening sun(?), Frank. Here’s mine from a visit to Fanö and 5000 kite flyers! I had never seen such enormous kites and really enjoyed our days there.

      Thank you, Ann-Christine. Those kites are just stunning, and I love the bright colors that you captured!!

      1. Leya Avatar

        Glad you liked them too, Frank. That was an astonishing day – never thought kites could be that gigantic!

    Only in America (the painted flag on the wall):):) Am borrowing from my weekly challenge All Seasons post, because this tree trunk just illustrates your “scale” perfectly. https://thejeshstudio.wordpress.com/2020/03/08/all-seasons-how-to-read-a-view/ ‎

    1. jansenphoto Avatar

      True! Although it is a real flag, that was hung there by the light department. Really enjoyed your post with various points of scale!

      Love it! How many gulls in that 3d shot?

      1. David M Avatar

        A very rough estimate, it’s 20 years since I counted large flocks of birds and it’s a low resolution web image, 8 to 9 thousand. The technique is to count a block of 100 birds, multiply that block by 10 and that shows you what a group of a thousand birds looks like. Then you start counting in thousands at one end of the roost.

      2. jansenphoto Avatar

        I like the technique! It’s got to be challenging to count large migratory or breeding populations. Thank you!

      3. David M Avatar

        As a check for accuracy there should be two people. There used to be two of us surveying that winter gull roost and we were usually within a thousand of each other. We would then average the two counts for the log. Oh, and one thing that I forgot to mention. That’s the count for the Black-headed Gulls, the other gull species were counted separately. There could be 3 to 6 other species mixed in with the Black-headed Gulls.
