John Rowe Images

Here is an image with a rather different feel to the one I shared with you last week.  The same stack of chairs, but with a strong vertical component.  I like the combination of vertical and horizontal strands in this image.  The glistening twirl down the middle then the ladder-like horizontal rungs against the black of the left hand side.  If you hadn’t seen the title, would you know the source of the image?  As there is no sense of scale it is left as an interesting abstract.

It’s always good to challenge yourself afresh, whether in photography or elsewhere.  What better way to do this than at the start of a new year?  Consequently this week’s image is rather different from my usual flora, fauna and landscapes.  Indeed it has a rather industrial feel to it and on a superficial glance there is no clue as to the size or scale of it, which adds to the interest.

The photograph is actually of a stack of chairs in the corner of a church meeting room.  I liked the way the light was shining on them and the wonderful patterns that were made as they interlocked.  When I started arranging them and then moving around them with my camera at different heights and angles I realized there were plenty of possibilities for attractive photographs.  This week I have focused on the intermingled legs of the chairs.  Further posts will look at other parts.
