The world underfoot.

Sigma DP2 Merrill. PP in SPP / LR / Nik SilverFX Pro 2 / PS CC.

A friend of mine did something similar to this but using cast iron manhole covers only. You have gone even further, and successfully so, by highlighting what we probably don't notice and take for granted. The different forms of grid, in shadow and reality, work brilliantly together.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Tom. I'm quite partial to the odd manhole cover too - Prague is especially fertile ground for them! It was a good day for shadows and I wanted to exploit the various surfaces as well.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

A good weekend for a triptych. Very interesting, Pete. It's like a masterclass in composition. Really.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Rob.

Marvelous Tryptich. They keep you looking, back and forth. Excellent stuff, Pete.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

There's something that always catches my eye with shadows. You really captured these expertly Pete.

 

[Paul Lange]

Thee are great and I love the PP too. I wouldn't know a good shadow if one followed me around all day...

 

[Dave Green]

Nice abstracts These would look good in a nice deep box frame with plenty of space round them

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks all. And I just happen to have a nice 3-window box frame Dave!

 

[Beth Carter]

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Beth.

I am pretty daft when it comes to shadows and shades, they normally scared me a few years back, But Pete, these feel quite soft and harmless like an embrace.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Ivar.

 

[Nick Lukey]

Very nice set Peter I like the processing.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Nick.
