Title: autumn waves
Post by: John R on October 27, 2009, 08:54:25 pm

A simple abstract of wavy like colours.

Edit: Just added another photo rather than start a new thread. A BW treatment, with crop and, no PP except contrast and brightness levels.

I like it, but for some reason (is it just me?) I want to look at this in landscape orientation... I rotated my head 90 degrees to the left and it looked much better.

What is it of btw?

Thanks. Are you sure you want to know? Maybe I should leave it as a mystery. Suffice to say, it is from the same subject matter I have been posting here for months. It is interesting that you made the observation about the landscape vs portrait format. In fact when I downloaded the images it came up in landscape format. I briefly contemplated posting in landscape but I did not want to offend the gods of subject-matter

Thanks Mike. I am sure you can guess. It is Autumn after all, my favourite time of the year, even though I have seen no mist this year

You're having it both ways!!  You can't abstract the hell out of something and then get all worried about respecting the original orientation of the subject!  Still, nice shot (particularly in landscape ).

Yes, I suppose you are right. It is like inverting or flipping a reflection photo, no real harm done. But I have my lenses crossed just in case. bTW, jsut added a new photo rather than start another thread. Came from the same outing.
