    Love your shot. So natural and b&w pp adds to greater appreciation of the image.

    I really like this. The angle of shooting is peculiar and alienating.
    That person must be lying down, but he/she seems glued to the wall.
    The projections are psychedelic enough in their own right, but to have a person there is wonderful.

    FUTURE BRIDGE

    ChrisOly's contribution of last week, inspired me to revisit an old gallery of mine, documenting the final stages of a road bridge's construction (on a site a few kilometers from its final place) and then the 48 hrs operation of actually moving that bridge.

    Here, in case you are interested, is a hyperlink to the full photo essay on this feat of engineering and logistics:
    The Fine Art of Moving a Bridge

    From that essay, here is a sample image.
    While construction of the bridge is in its final stages on the vacant lot adjacent to the canal, the road directly alongside the canal is closed off. Many truckloads of sand are being dumped on that road, in order to make a foundation that will even out height differences between vacant lot, bicycle lane, road and canal border, on top of which a wooden construction will be laid.
    Over that wooden construction, an enormous crawler will drive the bridge onto the pontoon that will transport it downstream.
    All these final stages are visible in my essay.

    But here is a shot showing the canalside, the road and the bridge.
    My fisheye lens made the nearby straight edge between road and canal border, on which I stand, appear curved.
    roelh.zenfolio.com/img/s/v-10/p3660738428-6.jpg

    I like how the curve of the image caused by the lens matches the curve of the bridge. Even the rainbow is very similar in shape, almost like another span in the background.
    It works well to highlight the bridge and minimize the construction equipment, but still tells the story of a new bridge in progress.
    Enviable composition.

    I like the pattern. It makes me think I'm moving and whooshing around a curve going faster and faster.

    Looks like someone drew it, or painted it with a trowel. Gradient tones; dark trees, soft trees, barely visible ones and then the fog sepia color. It makes a nice layering. Crossing lines making a pattern and point of interest with the trees in the middle.
    I like it.

    Looks great. Love the composition and the look is very appropriate. Is it scanned from film? Any reason why you left the border in?

    Yep, actual, real life honest to goodness 220 slide film from sometime in the past since 220 is dead. You can fake a frame, sure, but this one here is to be real. To remember history. To show it's still out there. And all the other philosophical mutterings I can make about how great real film still is.

    Indeed an appropriate subject (I suppose this is a cemetery ornament) for an ironic image about the fact that “film is not dead”!

    Hadn't even considered that, but darn good point. I'm gonna steal that notion for one of new batches I'm sure.

    Fish eye images usually don't appeal to me but this one does. It's a rectangle rather than a circular distortion. The resulting curved road reflects the curve of the arch while the bridge roadway is horizontal. The eyeball holds the photographer's shadow. It's his vision. The near centre earth mover provides the iris.

    Excellent shot - really interesting and well done! Was it some kind of art installation?

    This is where I was.
    mice.net.au/immersive-indigenous-art-experience-set-for-the-lume-at-mcec/

    The experience was complex. As well as the multi media and many faceted projections, there was a sampling of indigenous art from different regions and time periods. Australian indigenous art varies considerably in style and medium used, form one region to another. Additionally, there are traditional art works and new developing styles. Then there were visual constructions that interwove photos of landscape and artworks. Historical and contemporary photos of indigenous communities and life are included. It is backed by traditional and contemporary indigenous music and natural soundscapes from the outback. I liked it a lot. I went in expecting to be there for an hour and emerged some three hours later. I could have stayed longer. You will be seeing more photos from this event.

    There has to be one of the theories and mathematical analyses of light, time and the universe that is represented here. I can see expansion, acceleration, a singularity, red shift, dark matter, strings,
    One of your very best.

    Chris, Roel says that his post this week was inspired by your post last week. Your post this week has a completely different subject matter from Roel's post, but the shots are very alike. It looks like a similar lens used similarly so that the near edge creates a cupping curve while the horizon holds a straight line.
    The water melt line that runs from the bottom edge to the curve is quite perfect. As are the thinner lines that connect the bottom of the image to the curve.
    The ice gives the season and byond thw wharf we feel the change to come. A special note for the touch of color along the dock edge.
    Begging to be done as a print.
