Last time I posted one of my photoblog shots on here it was because I wasn't happy with it. This time it's the opposite - I'm rather smugly happy about it.

Here it is, you can click it to see it on my photoblog and leave a comment, if you like:




The description and Exif info are also on the blog. This was one of those shots where you check it on the camera's LCD screen and it's as if someone has suddenly replaced your CF card with one belonging to a pro. You just look back at the image and think "did I just take that?"

Anyway, to cut my ramble short... I like it. But in the spirit of bettering myself I thought I'd post it here in case I could've done something more with it.

Well I like it too but I can't work out what the building is. First thought...a car park but then I thought it's a mammoth heat-sink

I wonder how much you can overclock with that thing on ........ looks to have a decent amount of air moving over it too :coat:

[fingerz]

Heh. Never noticed that before. It does kinda look like a heatsink, doesn't it.

I have to say that the missing top left corner of the building is attracting my attention and somewhat ruining my enjoyment of this shot. I like the idea and for the most part the execution; however the framing just doesn't sit comfortably with me. Sorry.

Great detail & tones to the shot, but I find the shot actually makes me feel dizzy. I think it's the lines shooting off everywhere. Take it as a good thing that it creates some reaction, as another person will love the effect. Just checked the Blog...some great work there Jamey & fair play finding a new shot daily.

interesting shot, Nvidias latest offering under it i think!

agree with steve about the missing bit though, certainly is a nice idea though

[daveyuk]

Nice shot and I do see what the others mean about a massive heatsink!!! an overclockers paradise!!!

Although it's that missing top bit that does seem to pull your eye to it.

I think I had a bash at getting the whole building in but there was some reason why I couldn't. I think the reflection started to go funny. Or maybe there was just too little of the inside of the room Vs the reflection. I forget.

Moving back a bit wouldn'tve worked either as anything 'wider' would've caught the window frame.

That is why it is hard to offer critique on pictures were we have not seen or do not know the location where they are shot. All we can do it comment on what we like and dislike or find distracting about a shot, sometimes we are accurate and other times, due to facts that we simple could not know about our comments are not viable. Technical comments are almost always valid but your command of the camera in this picture leaves us with very little to say

I actually had another bash yesterday to see if I could get all the building into the shot without including any of the window frame. Unfortunately the only way to do it was to point upwards to such an extent that the interior of the room beyond the window was little more than a thin strip along the bottom of the frame, meaning that I might as well have just taken a straight shot of the building.

I appreciate all the criticism though. Thanks guys. Just that with the framing I reckon that's the best I could've done.

I like it - a lot. Don't care where it is or even what it is - it works for me purely on an abstract level.
