I'm not sure why. It's just such a crazy, busy, serendipitous composition that presented itself to me as I was walking through a parking lot. I've mostly just been lazily doing iPhone snapshots lately, but this was with the M8 and Canon 35/1.8, I believe at around f/4?


Bowl-A-Rama composition by mabel.sound, on Flickr

I love the M8's colors.
 
this is a great image. but you see, all the colors go well except that reddish building on the right and the very bright overcast sky.

Now if i were you, i'd go to the same place again, under similar light and 'tighten it up a bit', maybe by using a 50mm- or if you're lazy you could crop it.

but that's my opinion and it should not mean anything to you.
 
Mabelsound, did you go bowling, too?

I like the composition and the colors are certainly lurid (imagine what it must take to cause Frank's heart to feel threatened; not an easy task).

Please tell us that you've only suffered photographer's block and not writer's block, too.

Welcome back.
 
I haven't taken a decent non work photograph for months either, infact since June I think. Everything seems to be a huge cliche or simply a bit desperate. To make matters worse I posted two pictures to the gallery here yesterday that I know are both poor, simply because I hadn't posted anything for so long. I'm pleased to hear ( or see in this case as we've been provided with the evidence) that you've lost your 'blinkers'....frustrating stuff when you know you're producing crap.

Enjoy your renewed freedom 😀
 
Hey Rob! No writer's block thank goodness. Indeed, that's why I've imposed this internet poster's block--so I can get some work done. I will continue to lurk & occasionally post.

ebino, now that I know that spot, I might well go back at different times and see what I come up with...thanks!
 
Having seen the super groovy latest self Portrait with the iPhone on flikr... it's not treating you all bad is it?

Hope you don't mind. 😀

Ha ha haaaaa! Yeah I look like a freaking hipster, it's true. I put that on facebook and my friend said I looked like I was about to climb onto my fixie and ride off. 😀
