South Hadley Rotary.JPG

South Hadley MA

I did this as a creative excercise for one of my forums. I wanted to see the ordinary and mundane in a fresh new way.

This is a rotary that sits at the South Hadley end of the Holyoke-South Hadley bridge that carries Route 202 across the Connecticut River between the two municipalities.



The bold linear graphic just seems completely the opposite of the word "rotary", so I decided to "scale it up" from a small sign to an imposing linear presence by shooting with a closeup lens and straightening the wide-angle distortion with trusty DxO anti-distortion software.

I like the effect: gigantic, linear, and nothing "rotary" about it!
