August Snaps

“Light Magic.”

Photography is about light, right?

This was quite a fun image to make. It was made at my main work place where I have the chance to watch how the light changes in this particular area depending on how high or how low the sun is in the sky. It is most interesting when the sun is high in the sky. This is in fact a ramp leading up to the upstairs warehouses and offices in the business complex our business is located in, but obviously I have made a fairly dark interpretation of the ramp area. Familarity with the location came in handy today.

Since there wasn’t really any colour in the image anyway I converted it to black and white.

I’d be interested to hear what you think about this image?

In total I made 44 pictures today.

There is only a few more days left of my August Snaps Project now, time just flies when you’re having fun! I do look forward to shooting with my new Canon 5D MKII in in the coming months though as well as with my new Polaroid SX-70.

    Abstract AND black and white – 2 of my favourite photographic subjects :-)
    I like a lot – some strong lines in it.
    I’ve been having fun with Nik Software’s Silver Efex pro plugin for Aperture (they do one for Photoshop, too). It makes what used to take me ages to do when converting to black and white a snip. Have you ever used it?

    Superb, Thomas! Well seen and well captured. Love all the zigzagging diagonals.

    Hi Mike, Alex and Barb, thanks so much for your feedback. I must say this image has really grown on me since I uploaded it, so it’s great to get your feedback, specially as this image was a bit ‘left of center’.
