Location: TV Room Blinds

Aperture: f/16
ISO: 200

 Not to be disrespectful to Ben but this was probably the quickest shoot I have ever had for a DPC Challenge. Took the camera that still had the 9 stop filter on it and CPL Filter and took a hand held 2 second exposure whilst zooming in of blinds in my TV Room with the sun shining through it.
Editing was done with 2 variations of 1 exposure. One was simply almost SFTC and another where recovery in RAW was heavily used to stop clipping the bright white spot. Blended together with masks in Photoshop. Played a bit with luminosity masks, contrast, B&W adjustment layer and brightness.

I like the way this is framed and the one peak of light sneaking in on one pane.

I think rotated 90deg counterclockwise would have connected better with your title. Spot on for style.

Wild image. I like it. A firefly prison, or certainly trapped by shades of gray. Bizarre.

Yes, nothing more frightening than freedom. Or so I read it. The jail seems almost cozy for outside it is LIFE.
Good stuff here. Fermenting thoughts.

Appealing to Ben's love of the abstract... If this is the jail, I'm curious about the prisoner. Creative.

I like this. It has an abstract feel and looks like something Ben would do if he were to approach this idea. 7
