Office Chair

[Pete Askew]

It's funny isn't that we get so used to our everyday surroundings that we barely take any notice of them. So, there I was sitting in the 'office' gazing around looking for something to do when I looked again at my office chair. Had it for eons but somehow got so used to it....

Leica M9 + 35mm Summilux M f1:1.4. PP in LR, PS and Nik.

I like the picture..but its bit on the ornate side for a mere 'office chair' isn't it?
And that giant marble coumn in the background doesn't help....

 

[Pete Askew]

Well it's only the formal office one uses when ruling over one's dominion!! Marble column?!! Oh, you mean the printer stand!

 

[adrian jordin]

I await the official 'at work' self portrat with interest....

Aw that's lovely sire, it is not often us commoners get to see such adornments.

Great PP, the way it brings out the texture. Is there also a bit of a diffuse glow in there as well.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Paul. Cross process, film grain and then some warm glow as well.

Here's the 'raw file' for comparison (only thing done is the square crop in LR).

Two Posts? Are you getting the weirdness after sending a post as well? Sometimes I get a blank screen, other times it seems that my post hasn't gone through. Should give Hamish a shout I guess.

Holy cow pete, that's some office chair! Does he keep still when your trying to work!? Bet he's a right pain to take out for a walk!

 

[Pete Askew]

Yes, I'm getting the same and it has crashed Firefox about 3 times this evening. The last time when I was trying to send an PM to Hamish. I'll have another go. Oddly Babelsberg Studios has gone down in the last 15 minutes too! So I'm pleased to hear it s not just me.

How do you think it got turned into a chair in the first place!!

 

[Paul Lange]

I sent Hamish a message.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Paul. It bombed again while I was trying to get there.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Bloody hell Pete ... Can we see the rest of this "Formal Office"
I really am behind on my threads if I'm just reading this one where there were problems still happening! :/

Pete's office chair is actually a Viking ship!

Nice shot Pete!

 

[Pete Askew]

Well, you see I found it sitting on this beach and as nobody seemed to be using it...

 

[Jeff Harper]

Where is your office? Castle Dracula?

 

[Pete Askew]

No, too cold and drafty. I have quite a few open fires and it's nice and warm!!

 

[adrian jordin]

Actually, this office isn't all he makes it out to be ...you should see the state of the decorating.....
