as I lay in bed last night I realised that the ultimate minimalist photo,
by definition, would have to be the one with the least amount of light.

hey presto, f8 ~ 1/1000s ~ lens cap left on.

a cheeky entry, no doubt, and one not to be taken too seriously.

A little under exposed. Can't get more minimal than black.

Hmmm, that's what my bedroom looks like too when the lights are turned out :) MFC

So is this Hotblack Desiato's limo ship? ;D ...for those who remember some past challenge with a similar image...

"that ... is really bad for the eyes ..."
"It's so ... black!" said Ford Prefect, "you can hardly make out its shape ... light just seems to fall into it!"
Zaphod said nothing. He had simply fallen in love.

Hehehee.... there's always one in every crowd. The funny thing is that you're closer to Minimalism than any of the rest of us. Well done ;-) --Nancy

Speechless...
;)

Maybe too much black is abusive for minimalism. I have to think of it.

Could be even better without the vignetting.

Ahh, but the black body IR, my good man, the IR... !!
Oh, and I trust you didn't cut any corners, and that you still applied the USM last of all! ;-)
