About
I was standing at this loading dock when I noticed all the activity in front of this bright orange Alcatel container. This is just one of those goofy, pull the aperture back and dial the shutter speed down, hold the camera as still as you can for 15 seconds with your eyes closed type of deals. No real techincal merit, just an odd little image that happened all by itself.
Tom, I know it looks like a guitar, but it isn't. I snapped this off while standing in the back of a tractor trailer. ..but the blurring turns this into a sort of blot-test.. it's easy for your mind to draw conclusions to eliminate the unkown.
Christine, Thanks.. it's just a goofy little picture.. I've got tons of shots like this one. You know how it is. You burn most of a roll on a subject, and just need to waste a few shots so you can eject the roll. My standard practice is to guess at the programing, and then (without even looking through the lens) let the camera take the shot. My wife refers to this as "monkey photography" ... but I've developed a lot of rolls where I appreciated the monkey shots more than the ones I took the time to plan. It's a lomo kind of thing.
dude! welcome! i'm glad you signed up. i dig this very much (see my latest) but i don't think it's a loading dock. the guy in front of the sign is playing guitar, no? it looks like band practice at the last sales meeting ;^) i guess the round thing in the lower left corner must be a cymbal? i like the motion. it looks like you slowly leaned backwards while the shutter was open. great shot!
