"In like a lion, out like a lamb"
For this month the challenge to photographing something from inside a window and looking outside.
Your photos can be looking in or out. These photograph are from last couple of years
The first photo is looking through one window at a set of identical windows.
The second one is a in-camera double exposure: first with a 15-35mm lens @15mm, and the second with a 100-500mm lens @500mm
Third photo is looking out the motel room door at a river in the distance. I picked 428mm to isolate the three wires from the wood framing of the rest of the balcony fence.
The final photo is a photo on a landing in a stairwell at a hotel we were staying at. I was attracted by the composition. I moved the furniture and lamp around a tough, but I any more movement would have hindered people traveling the stairwell.
I am being totally selfish with choosing this as a challenge because I am extremely limited in mobility after have a total knee replacement a couple weeks ago.
The first and third are great. I especially appreciate the third because I can't tell what the hell it is! On closer inspection, the second is awesome because it's hard to tell what's on the outside and what's inside.
Thanks for setting this month's challenge Dean, that save me from doing so myself :-)
I have pinned this to ensure it is available to members for the month.
I love the drama of your first image (B&W always helps in this respect), and like Charles appreciate the 3rd (for its graphical simplicity).
I'm so happy that you are able to keep up with your passion even though immobile - I'm sure you'll be back on your feet in a few short weeks and getting back outdoors to expand your subject matter.
Now I'll have to search through my catalog to see what I may have to offer......
UPDATE - here's a quick few I've found to enable discussion....
Ciao Dean!
I'm sorry for reading about your limitations due to your knee! I hope you will recover completely soon!
My favourite is no. 1 with it's bright highlights and deep shadows and strong symmetry.
The green in no.2 is just a bit chaotic,. That is how plants do when they are growing.
No 3 is a nice minimalistic graphic for me. And no4 lives through it's symmetry and break of the symmetry being different chairs.
My 2 cents for the challenge: "Spring in the city".
Here is an cellphone capture looking through the screen on a motel window. I like the starburst and colors and I think it was a simple phone edit using provided Phone App adjustments.
The composition is The Dalles Dam on the right and Hwy 97 bridge crossing the Columbia River from Oregon to Washington on the left. Interstate 5 is hidden in the foreground.
Alan Brown ,
"View from a window" has interesting participation.
Great.
Great to see you back in here Vijay. I hope life is going well for you.
Most certainly Alan Brown All things are at its best.
Love this concept Dean!
I really like the light and shadow of your black and white image.
I was in Budapest a couple years ago for a work trip. These are two photos I took "looking out of windows" while walking around Fisherman's Bastion during sunrise.
