That owns, looks so frenzied.

I wish I had set a faster shutter there so the wheel had more color in it but hey it turned out cool.

Tried to get some photos of the blood moon but it was behind thick cloud, so satisfied myself stomping around in the mud looking at trees instead.


Love the first two.

This isn't in Iceland is it? I like it and feel like I took the same shot but in winter.

This is amazing. To get such a clean image in lowlight without having massive haloes around the strip lights is very impressive.

I went to Bang Sue yesterday to a train graveyard. It involved a trek of about a kilometer through a full-on shanty town with rickety corrugated sheet buildings on stilts above fetid water and narrow boardwalks between them. I didn't take too many pictures of that bit as I'm not a big fan of poverty tourism. The train graveyard was pretty cool though. We went in through a service shed and the guys inside just waved us through. A little while later a security guard came out to yell at me but it turned out that 200 Baht (about $6) was enough to 'buy a licence' for an hour or so of undisturbed shooting. I went through a couple of rolls of 120 there as well as the digital shots.

The tripod did all the work. :ssh:

I did drag the highlights down to tame the lights though, unedited they were pretty garish.

Two optical illusions in one, get the black dots at the intersections, and I swear the gaps between the thick verticals are bigger at the top than the bottom (but they aren't).

I think the first is better. The second has too many leading lines going all over the picture.

But the chaos of those wires going all the gently caress over the place is too good to miss.

Yeah that's why it works for me, they aren't leading lines in the traditional sense, their chaoticness is the subject

What are leading lines and where are they in the photo?
Can you draw an overlay?

The talk about obtuse compositions is ringing a faint bell in my memory...

There was a photographer who worked in black & white. He documented natural resource exploitation or environmental degredation. I vaguely remember that one of his photos was of a recently clear-cut forest, with tree trunks or something scattered all around. He had a quote about his approach to the project, and the gist of it was that he tried to utterly eliminate symmetry and traditional aesthetic appeal in order to intensify disgust for the subject matter.

Anyone know who I'm thinking of?

Black and white and photos of clearcut makes me think Robert Adams.
