Diagonal Wall

2014-XA2-002-022

I am quite pleased with this picture which has an uncertain point of view. Not to mention a bit of corrugated iron which is pretty scarce in Victoria.

This is at the gated end of a walkway. The walkway was littered with the detritus of amorous, or perhaps commercial, encounters.

I don’t think I will be taking night shots around here.

We are looking up the wall, though to me it (mostly) looks like a flat surface ready for walking on.

This is more from the Olympus XA2, taken a few feet from the first in this series, and just above the Shelled truck.

    • Hi Melinda. This was rotated in camera so I am not sure I would call it rotating images, though I did rotate the scene. Either way, it is not something I normally do though I find myself doing it more often with these wee little cameras.

      • I can’t remember now why I was holding my camera upside down to take some shots, but let’s just say it wasn’t a huge success. Or any kind of a success.

        Wait – I just remembered: it was when we were on a long car trip a few weeks ago and I was bored. The Patient Spouse had grown tired of my very helpful commentary on the music on the radio (he didn’t think things like “That band is called the Avett Brothers. Their last name is Avett. They are brothers.” was entertaining, which just shows how much fun HE is.) so I moved on to other ways to entertain myself. I am a much better driver than I am a passenger.

      • Holding your camera upside down in childish rebellion at not being fully and continuously appreciated by the Patient Spouse is not actually likely to produce good pictures, in case you have not figured that out yet. (Though like a bunch of monkeys and typewriters, you never can be sure). If he knows enough about photography, he might have noticed and been amused I suppose.
        And, FYI, I was alone when I took this picture, so it was only myself I was amusing/abusing.

      • Sometimes I am my own (and only) fan – like road-trip shenanigans.

        This wasn’t rebellion so much as it needing to find another way to entertain myself so that I didn’t push the Patient Spouse over to Impatient S.: it was a long way to walk home.

  4. I had to look once, twice and a third time to get my bearings on this one. Crazy illusion on perspective, especially for one not familiar with the place.

    Certainly a photo that included the detritus you speak of might not be appropriate here but they still might make for some interesting photos as signs of our times. Maybe we could use a “Detritus Gazing” site for the more adult or questionable material where folks could submit their shots under an assumed name. Of course there would have to be some artistic merit, I’m not suggesting a porn site. Just a place for shots that don’t belong in a family friendly site. Who do we know that could curate such a site?
