You really picked up a lot of great shots at that pier, Karen.
I prefer Zoneplate shots like this one because there is so much left to fill in with imagination. (The thin line between abstract reality and surreality is what I find most enjoyable about viewing pinhole/zoneplate works) In this photo I am drawn to the two objects at the end of the pier - the only objects in the photo not formed by straight lines (aside from the fog/waves which is a known). The objects are well-placed in the photo and should, by all rules of photography, be the objects of attention, yet I didn't even see them until I had looked at the photo for several minutes. I love surprises in a photo. I'm guessing the objects are fishermen or tourists peering over the pier, although they could be pelicans, or perhaps it is Nessie sunbathing. Or... maybe I am just dreaming and there is nothing there at all. Well done. |
