Unfathomable Eye
This post goes well with those in the Half-frame Stripes post of a week or so ago, but is taken on the end of my latest roll of film; trying to use it up so I could see the snow photos. It also kind of goes with the tree trunks in yesterday’s post.
One might not want to plumb the depths of this one since it is part of the sea wall that holds up the sewage “treatment” plant on Clover Point. I do like how it vanishes into itself though. The title was suggested by Melinda Green Harvey in a comment on that other post, though she had not seen this image so she might not think it is very suitable now that she can see it.

These are more from my series of half-frame photos from the Olympus Pen, and fall into the diptych and fliptych sub-series. This photography is two adjacent shots on the film-strip, taken by flipping the camera 180 degrees between exposures, with the purpose of scanning as a single image. In this case I had to change my point of view by a few steps to the get the crack to line up (sort of). Click on the photo to see it much larger.

Now that I HAVE seen it, I still think it’s a good title. I’m with Andy, too: I spent sort of a while trying to find the join. (I should have read the comments first.)

Thanks Melinda. I think the same goes for the other post I linked to as well – most of those shots have lost the join. Figuring out the role of the join is an interesting part of the process of taking these diptychs.

You are getting very good at it. (Did you see my email re. the Half Frame Tree?)

Yes I did! Sorry for the delay in responding, I had to do some experimenting before I knew how to respond. I will email you.

I really can’t see the join on this one!

I am figuring it out! I was trying to obscure the join with this shot by using the ocean edge, which was dark with rock and weeds just below the surface.
