Big drips


Carmi's theme for thematic photographic this week is 'Big'. A very subjective subject and something that is smaller than bigger and biggest...

So here is my image of something on a grand scale along with the human figures in the third image (about halfway up and near the right hand edge) as a key to show you what it is.... and a colour image as well as the B&W one...

  1. This is so cool! I like the B&W but the color version gives it depth.

  2. Thanks Amanda. The advantage of digital ~ shoot in colour and convert to B&W /sepia etc!

    I have to adnmit that I saw this originally as a 2D graphic image with no depth to it at all, and the unprocessed raw image was fairly flat.

  3. This post is way different. I like your Big post a lot.

  4. that is amazing! a dam? or a work of art? both? seeing the people off to the side puts it in context - but I love the pure texture and motion and "what is it" of the 1st two

  5. Thank you Light & Voices and Kimmie. I doubt the engineers who designed this ever saw it as a work of art, but how about someone making an installation piece something like this in the Tate Modern (London)where they could go to 30m height. On a small scale the calming water features often in waiting rooms produce some random water images.

    I think the 'what is it?' is important because it makes the viewer read the image, and everyone reads images differently, as Amanda's comment about it having depth when I only saw a 2D graphic image.

  6. I love how this sequence totally played with my sense of place and context. You've totally rocked my world with this! Remarkable pics.
