This week's #AlphabetTechPhoto is Portraits
We want to see portraits that feature or represent something named after a person! Think of a person in a Mackintosh, someone driving a Ford, even a close-up with Diesel machinery. Get creative with your naming history

One of the most colourful sunsets I’ve ever seen. It lasted over half an hour too, as the low trajectory of the sun in the far north extended it so much more than here in Scotland. I caught the reflection on the facade of the city library, an impressive modernist building beside the river in Umeå.

Eponymous - Queen Mary

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEponymous #Scape #Photography #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhitwPhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Lumix
A high-contrast, black-and-white photograph of the ocean liner Queen Mary 2 docked at a harbor in Greenock. The massive ship dominates the frame, showing its dark hull and white multi-decked superstructure with the "Cunard" name and "Queen Mary 2" visible on its side. In the foreground, the dark, rippling water of the harbor leads to a concrete pier where small vehicles and a modern, multi-story control building are situated. A tall metal lattice tower stands near the center of the ship’s profile. The sky is filled with heavy, dramatic clouds, contributing to a moody and industrial atmosphere.

Might need a ruling but does this count for the #AlphabetTechPhoto portrait challenge?

Narcissus
A photo of a yellow daffodil that is diagonal with it's flower touching a mirror with it's reflection below. The background is black so that the focus is on the flower. Natural light comes from a window on the right. Daffodils are part of the Narcissus genus that derive their name from the Greek myth of the young self obsessed youth who loved his own reflection

Eponymous - Emperor Hadrian

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEponymous #Scape #Photography #StreetPhotography #BlackAndWhitwPhotography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #Lumix
A high-contrast black and white landscape photograph of Hadrian's Wall winding through the rugged terrain. A stone wall snakes from the foreground into the distance, following the dramatic curve of a steep ridge. The landscape consists of rolling grassy fields, small clusters of dark coniferous and deciduous trees, and distant rocky crags under a heavy, overcast sky filled with layered clouds. The composition captures a vast, moody atmosphere with a wide perspective, emphasising the scale of the ancient fortification against the rural, undulating hills.

6am in the City

Sometimes I can’t sleep, so I’ll go walking to tire myself out. On this occasion I walked as far as the City just before dawn as the early mists were rising.

This week for half frame Friday a reminder that as well as @halfframephotoday.bsky.social we're also on Instagram and we'd love to see the best of the half frame photos you've posted there. We want to make #hff as much of a thing there as it is here.
Black text on white background reads "Tag us when posting your half frame film photographs @worldwidehalfframephotoday Each week for half frame Friday #hff we'll pick our favourites to share" This relates to an Instagram account, not Bluesky.

*Deets in Alt
B&W Shot of a pile of Converse All Stars against a shelving unit of vinyl albums. Commonly known as Chucks after Chuck Taylor: Charles Hollis Taylor (1901–1969) was an American basketball player, coach, and salesman who transformed footwear by promoting the Converse All-Star as the premier basketball shoe. Born in Indiana, he added his signature to the ankle patch in 1932, creating the first celebrity-endorsed athletic shoe.

A Ferris wheel in Albert Square Manchester
A photo of a large white ferris wheel in Albert Square Manchester. In the foreground is a statue of Prince Albert that has a gothic arched surround. It was early evening in December and everything was lit up with bright lights and was a contrast against the dark blue sky. The Ferris wheel was named after Geirge Washington Gale Ferris who made the first example in 1893. Albert Square is obviously named after Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband and consort.

A vertical photograph on a wooden table features a tall, slender glass of Peroni lager with a thick head of foam next to a paperback book titled "Don McCullin" from the Photofile series by Thames & Hudson. The book's cover is a muted tan color, centered with a black-and-white portrait of a man with disheveled hair and a beard. The glass of beer is brightly lit, casting a soft shadow to the right. The background consists of a seat with a repetitive, textured blue pattern, creating a moody, indoor atmosphere with warm, directional lighting.
