Green Inversion | « Smooth & Blue | Main | Chimney Smoke » |
 Here's my attempt at something new. I take inspiration from Chiaroscuro who has many amazing abstract creations. I usually take photos of things I see around me, which were already there. This time I created the thing I wanted to take a photo of - that was a very different experience. Alright, here's the explanation. I wanted to see if people could tell what is was before I told them or if they thought it was something else. These are two spoons on top of one another; I put them on top of a green couch that we have, and asked my husband to hold a white cutting board at and angle behind and above them. So the bottom spoon reflects the white of the board while the top spoon reflects the green of the couch, and then the top spoon reflects the white border of the spoon below, and so on, and that's how the inversion happens.

Posted by: VISUAL FIELD at January 28, 2005 12:47 AM This is a very pretty and interesting pattern of shapes and colors! I also would love to know what this is and how you got the inversion. Posted by: chiaroscuro at January 27, 2005 6:39 PM fantastic idea, and great symmetrical composition. i like the subject matter, the fact that its a non recognizable entity. i also like how it looks futuristic, but with retro colors and shapes. excellent photograph. Posted by: zerosun at January 27, 2005 1:00 PM Very cool - so what is it actually? :-) Posted by: Abhi at January 27, 2005 11:56 AM That's a great idea. I've noticed that you really like reflections and working in that area a lot. I think that's great. I don't know how you got the colour in that shot but it really works (and I can understand where your inspiration has come from - it's making me want to experiment too). Well done :-) Posted by: leigh at January 27, 2005 9:08 AM Great idea! How did you get this color inversion? I'm puzzled... Posted by: Andreas at January 27, 2005 4:10 AM Post a comment |
