Photography At Home

[aligreto]

Even a worn corner of a picture frame holds interest for me....

I wasn't thinking of B/W but it just struck me when processing today's photos that it might be worth a try.

Always worth a try 

Nice composition there too.

Wow I need to buy some worn picture frames!

The excellent theme of this thread [especially in these times] has made me literally dig out my camera equipment from my attic after it lying dormant for many years up there. It has also prompted the need to relook at ordinary, mundane household objects and look at them with a different eye. That in itself is a challenge.

I can see why, when newspapers and TV were in black and white, NASA chose the Moon as the first place to visit  .

That shot of yours reminds me that I was working on a particular flower shot the other day. My experiment failed as it happens, for the moment anyway. I am currently working on another flower idea to bring some colour back for those who may not be over enamoured with B/W images. We will see how that one goes.

Hmm, there is some interesting stuff in the garden I hadn't noticed before.

Not by me I hasten to add but a good photo of what?

Is it what you use to play your vinyls?

[steve ridgway]

As you might have guessed I rather like the Moon .

[steve ridgway]

Some other things in the the garden.

And finally.

[aligreto]

Keep going Steve!

Stylus to play 78 RPM shellacs?

[steve ridgway]

Keep going Steve! 

Weirdly lunar .

Is this an electron microscope image of cellular structure or an abstract of a pan full of fried eggs?
No, a shower mat detail deliberately slightly out of focus and enhanced.

Weirdly lunar .

They are indeed singularly lunar in aspect.
I am enjoying your experimentation. I like the fact that you are getting down and dirty for your cause.

Those are seriously talented photos. He must have been brilliant at all that developing and printing as well as composition. You can tell they're old by the last one of the man wearing his best suit in the pool .
