Pics O' The Week #3
So my Pic O' The Week project is primarily a weekend thing, and I had to go in to work this morning, and so it seemed reasonable to take the camera in to work with me today. Like last week at the mall I had no idea what I was looking for, just wanted to see what there was to see. As it turns out the office is a pretty boring place, but the ceiling down in the building lobby managed to catch my eye on the way in. The shot above is pretty straightforward...not overly interesting, but I liked the pattern.
However, my big lesson for the day was discovering that a simple rotation of perspective can create something entirely different:
Suddenly the ceiling is..... something else. A wall, perhaps, with tiny porthole windows to a sunny exterior? Without any context it's impossible to say. One more rotation and there's something new again:
Now what is it? A strange sort of floor or the bottom of a swimming pool or....?
As a side note, though I will freely admit that as much as I despise photo editing, I was more than happy to use the retouch tool in Capture NX2 to erase the fire alarm and sprinklers. Don't worry, for all you safety types out there, the building really is up to code. ;-)
