Forth Bridge Abstractions

[Rob MacKillop]

Still experimenting with colour...the Forth Bridge from our bedroom window. Night shots, light off in the room.

Q2​

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Left you all speechless again, I see

Considering the very limited light, th colour is punchy. The second and last images are my favorites here Rob, with the last making me feel somewhat a prisoner looking through bars.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Wes. This is what I get up to when I can’t get outside. Suffering from old-fashioned, non-Covid flu, almost welcome, like an old friend…
I like much of my colour photography to be about colour. I’m not so fussed about the subject. But I readily admit I don’t always understand what I’m doing with colour, which is why I usually avoid it. But I’m making a concerted effort to get to grips with it.

 

[Dave Farnes]

I do hope you are feeling better soon.

The second one would make a great sleeve for an album of dark ambient music.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Still not great, unfortunately. People who get flu now are having it much longer than pre Covid. One month now for me. And counting. I’m seeing the doctor on Thursday.

That's a heck of dose you've got Rob, but you are from the real North, so not surprised the flu is tough.

Hope you get some reassurances from the docs.

What the hell's going on in number 2?

A caped crusader is on the run! The orange bit is the Forth Bridge. The rest is a street lamp.

Rob I think 1, 2 and 3 are particularly good. The shapes suggest things, which I suppose may differ person-to-person. Actually I think they are all 3 great images.

Thanks, Brian. As a species, we have evolved to seek pattern and familiarity. It’s part of the fun of looking at abstract images. Thanks for your generous comment.
