Ladder Pattern
ISO1600 50mm f/11 1/4000sec
It feels so great to have the camera back in my hands!!! I’ve missed it over the last 4 days, and felt more alive today than I have in some time! At times if feels like being taken down hard by the seasonal flu can be a wonderful blessing, because when you enter back into the mindset of good health you start to look at things in a fresh perspective again. With that comes a renewed energy, and I my friends definitely have renewed energy.
If you didn’t get a chance to read my post from earlier today I’ll give you a nutshell version… There’s a crap ton of excitement on its way for all my badass followers!! More guest bloggers, Collaborations with other blogs, Book Reviews, more Photographic Inspiration posts, and a bunch of other stuff that Im not going to tell you about just to keep you on the edge of your seat! There how do you like them Butternut Squashes? … what thats not how it goes? Apples? Really?But Squash is so delicious! I digress.. And yes tons more horrible jokes to keep you in a state of calm panic!
I love the harsh shadows and rough textures in this scene, however there was one thing that drew me in more than anything else. Im going to wait and see if anyone can figure out what it is. It could be very obvious.. we will have to see.
great image. It looks like a railing of some kind, on a rooftop (photo taken looking down). Am I close? 🙂
Hmmm… interesting. That is not the case but I love how you willing to look past the title and come up with your own story!
Perhaps it is what appears to be a shadow of a bird pointing toward the railing?
Your correct, that is a shadow of a bird. However that is not what drew me to the scene 🙂 And for whatever reason I cant help but look at that shadow as a pig haha. I dont know why because it really doesn’t look like a pig, but when I isolate it from the rest it oinks at me. lol Thanks for the comment Richard!
So what was it?
Cant tell yet, Im still waiting for someone to comment. 🙂 Thanks
it does look like a pig…….must be a flying pig…………..lol
Hahaha Im glad someone else thinks so I was starting to think I was a bit loony there.
I like the little burst of colour from the edge of the ladder. Is that it?
Its not it, but I love reading through all the responses seeing what draws you guys in 🙂 Thanks Cindy!
Nice choice of subject … well done
Thanks Mona 🙂
I’ll have to wait to see what the one thing is, but the picture is excellent.
Thanks Russel!
the geometery………………
Although its not the main capturing point for me, I do absolutely love all the subtle, simple geometry! Thanks David 🙂
I love the different textures of this picture. Great job! 🙂
I agree Debbie! Im a sucker for rough texture and this scene was filled with it. Thanks 🙂
Have you tried this in B&W? The texture on the wall is very cool. Love it!
I did try is in B&W, but liked the warmth of orange throughout the image. Im pretty sick of winter by now so any feeling of summer I can get Im sticking with it haha. Thanks 🙂
Glad you feeling better, was wondering whats with the sudden disappearance… oh, great image btw 🙂
Thanks! Yea the very little time I spent on the computer was put towards answering emails for work so I wasn’t able to get on to keep everyone updated. Im back and ready for action however! Thanks for the kind comment on the image 🙂
Great shot..glad you are feeling better.
Thanks Misty 🙂
Before I read any comments….
It looks like there is a profile in the concrete.
Interesting. Im not sure if I see the profile your talking about but your probably the closest yet to what I had in mind 🙂
To the left of the rungs about a quarter of the way down it looks like a profile (cartoon) in the stucco. It jumps right out at me.
I suggest these settings next time:
50mm 1/125 f8 ISO100
You’re handholding a short lens and there’s no action so there’s no reason to crank your shutter so high as it highly effects your print quality when you need to then compensate at 1600 ISO instead of shooting at 4 or 1.
Here’s something you mind find helpful.
“equivalent exposures” is what to research if you’re interested.
Good composition. I like the shot.
Thanks for the suggestion! Search around the site and you’ll start to understand my settings. 1600 and I are on pretty good terms 😉
Is there a way to private message on wordpress? I’m new to the site
Not that I know of on WordPress. However there is now a message function attached to the Facebook Pages so if you need to pm me you can do so at the Nick Exposed Facebook Page… click like while your there 😉
thanks. i’ll chat you up there!
I was going to say the geometric angles created by the fire-escape and the shadow but it looks like someone already got a no out of you on that one. I hope you do reveal your answer even if no one guesses.
Thanks for following my blog. I found yours and am really liking reading and seeing your posts.
Hey thanks Bobi! I will reveal my answer if it doesn’t get brought up. However there is one Regular to the blog who I think may just have a crazy enough imagination to guess it that Im waiting to get a response from before I reveal too much. haha. Welcome to Nick Exposed 🙂
well then I’ll have to come back and ck for the answer. you got me good and curious. 🙂
Haha sounds good
Beautiful image!! I like the coposition and use of shadow!
Sweet shot.
Thanks Karen 🙂
Great shot. I think we all see different things because we all see things differently. That’s what makes art so wonderful. I see a bottle pouring a shadow stream.
It is a beautiful thing! I don’t think I would be nearly as enthralled as I am with the art if everyone seen it in the exactly the same!
Reblogged this on Conceptual Art.
Simple yet so eye catching. Superb.
Thanks David! Great compliment:)
This is very striking… it’s interesting how the vertical lines of the ladder shadow are not straight, while the rung shadows are perfectly straight/symmetrical…
That is interesting isn’t it. I love seeing how light works in different situations.
Brilliant shot!
Thanks Andy 🙂
The rust against the wall is what makes it for me. Nice.
Agreed! I am a sucker for rusty textures and its well contrasted against the stucko wall.
I love seeing patterns like this in shadows and reflections!
Thanks Brooke! 🙂
