Easy Fliptych
More from my series of half-frame photos, and indeed it is also a fliptych. I like this shot for its minimalism, in fact it is one of my favourites taken so far with this camera. I took this in the same car park at Thetis Lake as the first of my fliptych series. Once again this is a single digital image scanned from adjacent frames on the negative.
I’ll be off-grid until later today, and then in the field for 3 or 4 more but perhaps on-line. If I am slow getting back to any comments you might grace my blog with, it is only because I am not around and I promise I will respond to all of them. So, please comment in my absence, I like comments.

Now that is very clever and you can hardly see the ‘join’!

Thanks Andy!. Part of losing the join came from a minor light leak which I have fixed by replacing a gasket. But, it is a good point because it is something that I have been thinking about – how to lose the join where there is an option of using a dark part of the photo to be at the centre when I flip the camera. Though in some instances the join is an important part, there are others (like yesterday’s lead photo) where it works better with subdued emphasis.

I still like this one – and think it ought to win a photo competition…
Ken already took my other comments.

Funny you should say that Melinda, it has been entered in a competition, “or maybe you knew that already”? Very kind of you to think it ought to win something. I, of course, agree but also doubt very much it will get anywhere at all.

You know, now that you mention it, I believe that I might have already known something about a competition….
Seriously, though, how could this NOT win?

Well, maybe one of my other submissions is better? Or more likely one of yours, if you entered.
And, I was quoting you there, you recently said those same words in a comment on your blog.

I didn’t enter; I couldn’t think of anything that fit the contest.
And I did realize you were quoting me; I probably ought to warn you that there are probably much better writers you could quote!

Well. THAT isn’t true.

This may be one of the best fliptychs posted (so far). It has a nice tonality and symmetry.

Hi Ken. I am glad you like it. It is not exactly as composed due to the frame in the viewfinder cropping the actual negative image, but it is close. I especially like the marble-like surface of the painted letter.
