ARCHIVE: LOOKING AT CARS 28 – A CAR, WATER AND ME
November 24, 2020 6 Comments
Leaning over the wet bonnet of a car I’ll never be able to afford – and, increasingly eschewing materialism as I am – which I’m totally happy not to own. I’m on the left, glorying as I often do in the TG-5’s f2 wide angle lens, the equivalent of 25mm in full-frame format. I’m holding my glasses as well as the camera because I can’t see well through the camera’s screen with them on >>> LOL! getting old! And I’m looking along the slightly curving streaks of water towards the car’s windscreen wipers at far right.
The picture is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Occidental eyes enter images on the left and move towards the right, so that my eyes move along the water streaks towards to the darker wipers and (hopefully!) stay on them, rather than exiting the image.
Click onto the “early morning” tag (below) to see more images from the early hours of the day.
Click onto the image to open a larger version in a separated window – certainly recommended.
Technique: TG-5 at 25mm (equiv); 1600 ISO; Lightroom, starting at the Modern 01 profile; rotated; south Bristol; 19 July 2020.
The Looking at Cars series: looking back through the nine years of the FATman Photos archives (and some new images too), I’m posting pictures of cars in various contexts and styles. Earlier Looking at Cars posts are here: 1 (with context); 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 . Each post will open in a separate window.

Very striking image! Love the rotation on this 🙂

Great stuff – thank you! The rotation was very much an experiment, allied to the left to right way we look at images. And the black wipers then gave closure on the right. 🙂
