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...
This is so cool! I like the B&W but the color version gives it depth.
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda. The advantage of digital ~ shoot in colour and convert to B&W /sepia etc!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
This post is way different. I like your Big post a lot.

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
ReplyDeleteThank 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
I love how this sequence totally played with my sense of place and context. You've totally rocked my world with this! Remarkable pics.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words Carmi
