2/23/08 - This Old House...

Interior of a deserted house - a little "fixer-upper".
Visual Design - a composition exercise in arranging shapes, lines & textures.
Converted the image to B&W in order to focus on the design elements without the distraction of color. Enhanced the contrast quite a bit in order to make the B&W stark.
Minimum "wow" factor; designed to be looked at and to stay with you for longer than 10 seconds.
I wasn't brave enough to explore the dark cellar down the steps behind the door. The world's greatest image probably awaited & I missed it.

Nikon D70
0.77s f/8.0 at 22.0mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I had to double-check the metadata on this one, because I enjoy what I thought was a flattened perspective occurring through the use of a long lens. But 22mm?! Huh.

A wonderfully rich study, beautifully composed.

After all your playing with light paintings, I am surprised you didn't venture down into the cellar. :)
