Carrion Crow over our back garden, not long after dawn; 27 Nov 2011.
I very much like the limited palette of colours but – as is so often the case – I prefer this version to monochrome. The crow – which looks for all the world like a Photoshop insert! – is purposely positioned away from any of the composition’s visual strong points, but with space ahead to fly into. Actually quite a reasonably sized bird, it looks so small here against the vast sky and very solid looking clouds: this is intentional.

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.

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.

A very deceptive image, a very selective piece of framing: just below this apparent misty autumn idyll there are houses, commuters and rush hour traffic. Few things are what they seem on FATman Photos … 😉 …
There are other images from this early morning here, here and here . Each will open in a separate window.

Roadside grass, rather eerily manicured in between the confluence of two pavements, one of which enters the frame from the left and the other from upper right. Never let it be said that the Outer Suburbs lack style and class …

Click onto the image to open a larger version in a separate window – this image has a lot of fine detail, so certainly recommended.

Autumn on the pavement. Beside the park railings. Caught by the rays of the rising sun.
