Theme: Through The Window

[Tom Dunne]

Beijing Window

Would the powers that be consider having a board for travel photography. I think it would be well used.
Any more windows anyone. I have.

Nice triptych there, Tom!

So, you want a Theme? I'm sure we can all chip in. I'll have a look later.

To my limited knowledge Rob this may not be classified as a triptych as this is all one image and not split. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
I hadn't actually thought of a Theme to be honest Rob but you are right. I'll pick it all up eventually. Maybe I should have stuck this in the Theme section below then. Can the Mods do this?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The mods are rockers! They can do anything!

Pete will love this shot. He's a connoisseur o the dirty windae!

That is a dirty window and a half production right there, Tom. I like that you kept it dark and subdued.

 

[Pete Askew]

You can't beat a dirty window filter! What a great / obscured view Tom. The vertical streaks and vertical lines of the buildings works very well as do the muted tones. Nice.

 

[Pete Askew]

Would you like this thread moved to Themes and turned into one?

 

[Beth Carter]

haha, i like the dirty window filter. we should all get one of those. i like the panes dividing up the scene, really like a scene within a scene.

I think that would be best Peter and thank you. Hopefully others with windows, clean or dirty, will join in.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Pete, Beth, Paul
Than you for taking the time to have a look. Much appreciated. I really tried to convey how miserable these high rises can sometimes look, particularly in dirty weather.

The Slaughterhouse

Posted before but just to add to the theme.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Thanks for the smooth transition Pete.
The mixture of blur and dirt add an eerie feel to this. Slaughterhouse is a horrible sounding word indeed and we can only interpret for the worse.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Tom. It had the looked of a forbidden place. The dirt and short of focus added to that I think.

The series associated with it are here http://www.babelsberg-studio.com/photographer.asp?u=2 In the gallery, 'In Passing'.

[Pete Askew]

Excellent. A fine addition.

 

[Tom Dunne]

Typical BT. A right old mess but providing a good photo opportunity. Well seen Rob.
Hope there's more where that came from

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It comes from a series called Hill Street, which was featured here: http://realphotographersforum.com/forum/threads/hill-street.12702/

 

[Tom Dunne]

Hill St. is full of interest Rob. I particularly enjoyed the shots that included the old cobbles which reflected and formed a sort of extension of the brickwork in the walls.
Hope we can open more windows in this thread.
Anyway, another one for now; I like the bit of net curtain stuck to the outside of the middle pane. Some evidence of BT as well.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I've been told that there is a mathematical relationship between the cobbles, bricks, stones and roof tiles throughout Edinburgh's New Town district.

Love the net curtain!
