Apr 13, 2005 Day 60

I took a shot of this light a while ago and liked it in color, but tonight the shadows and circular light pattern got my attention. I think it was Antonis Sarantos who told me, think of applying black and white when shape is important, thus I thought this would be better in black and white. I like it.

Olympus D-580Z
1/50s f/3.7 at 9.4mm iso53 full exif

This really does work very well.

Works well, I like the shape of the shade and the pools of light on the ceiling

unusual and interesting, its god that you picked up the advice from Antonis, the master of B&W!

Very powerful. I love using Black, and white for shapes, and textures. you did a very good job with presentation, composition, and transisition. I love the radiance also...
Guest 14-Apr-2005 06:42

You made a piece of art out of something so mundane. Congrats!

I do like it. This makes you very aware of the light.

Very interesting, indeed, and quite eye-catching in B&W, I think.

I think the interesting patten is strong enough to dominate the picture in color too. It almost looks like it should be revolving.

This is a very appealing pattern. I enjoy this much. I love the glow on the outside just as well. You actually see alot in this image.
Guest 14-Apr-2005 01:07
Cool shot, I thought it was an electric shaver.
Robin Reid14-Apr-2005 00:47
It works quite well in black and white. A very interesting pattern.
