Photos - March 7-11

These are a week late.  Sorry about that.

1.

This is a car as viewed through a concrete wall.  I kinda felt like a spy while taking it.  I took several different shots trying to capture this look, and this was the only one where the framing and focus worked. I wish I could've gotten a slightly wider shot, but I like the limited POV look of this picture.

These berries are on a tree near my house.  I normally walk past them, but I decided to get a close up one day.  I like the two-point perspective created by the brick walls, and I love the orange color of the berries. It's a little desaturated, though. I wish the berries could be a little darker, as well as the walls.

This is the inside of a concrete wall.  This also made me feel a little like a spy while I took it, like I was going through some secret pipe system to get inside a secure location.  I took a million photos of this brick, experimenting with the brightness each time, and I finally settled on this one because you can mostly see everything, yet it's dark at the end, suggesting mystery and danger.  I wish I had gone a tad darker, though, to further emphasize this mystery.

 4.

This is the view from my rear-view mirror.  I was inspired by a similar shot in The Truman Show.  I like how it messes with the space, making it fairly ambiguous.  I wish I'd cleaned more of the junk off of my mirror (although I got most of it off), but I like the spying feeling this picture produces (I guess I just really wanted to be a spy this week).

This photo was inspired by a similar shot that Dhane took a couple weeks ago.  I like the contrast of the red wall and the blue sky, and I like how dizzy this photo makes me feel (this may be because of my fear of heights).
