I'm much happier with this shot than yesterday's, and other than that I don't have a great deal to say today: which is good, because I have no time to say it anyway ;-)
As I've mentioned, I won't be around tomorrow but hope to put something up from the wedding on Sunday.

this is a cool one! the muted color scheme, the composition and the use of shallow dof really appeal to me. and i'm strill trying to figure out what the h*ll it is i'm looking at:)
comment byLyle at 10:20 AM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
I must say, personally I prefer yesterday's shot, with the darkness inherent in the image, and - as people said - the very Aphex Twin/Chris Cunningham styling to it.
That's not to say I don't like this one, just that I prefer yesterdays. And there we go, that's personal preferences for you, I guess. *grin*

Similar composition to yesterday's shot but very different effect, looks great!
comment by peterv at 12:45 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
Excellent composition, very cool colours, well done
comment bykendall at 12:51 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
Very much liked here.. I like the 'shape within a shape' effect, meaning the curves of the in-focus area and the soft gentle curves of the blurred background -- it's a wonderful abstract composition.
comment byKjetil at 01:13 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
Looking good! Real good. Cool with the blurry background and a good focus on the glass, or whatever it is.
comment bymiklos at 01:38 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
Very cool.
comment byKayleigh at 02:08 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
Very nice... The tones are awesome.

What is it ?
comment bytiffany at 03:28 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
I much prefer yesterday's. Isn't that funny? To me, this one the subject matter here is technology, computers in particular. Very well done - lovely narrow color range - but the subject matter of yesterdays, and the color, and the angles... I don't know I just found it more exciting. Maybe because of the sense of anticipation... this one doesn't have that, it's more of a study than a story. Does that make sense? Total personal preference, don't mind me. :-)

That's a great shot. What's that glass thing?
comment byRodrigo Gómez at 06:26 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
I totally agree with you. I like this shot much more than the previous one. I don't know. More clear... but abstract at the same time.... The color scheme is very attractive...
Good luck with the wedding!
comment byJarod at 07:14 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
I like the soft blurred out colors from the last one, but the reflection of that chrome/polished end gives this image an edge over the previous one.
comment by Mark at 07:43 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
Nice shot - ah the beautiful lines of the toggle switch. Pitty the reflection isn't more 'interesting'.
comment byKai at 08:05 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
Very nice. The DOF is great.
comment by justin at 08:50 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
Great shot, David! Hope the wedding is fun...
comment byTurfdigger at 09:33 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
My first thought here was HAL - "I can't do that, Dave."
Nice abstract and very crafty focal treatment.
comment byAegir at 10:06 PM (GMT) on 15 October, 2004
I like this. Tell you what, you should block all comments that mention the words, "inherent", "space" and "color"/"colour".
Is that your office then?
comment byCarlo at 01:52 AM (GMT) on 16 October, 2004
awsome shot...
comment bywr7259 at 04:40 PM (GMT) on 16 October, 2004
I love this one!
In the office, I am always looking for the place my digi want to shoot.
I have never found this composition.
I really like this!!!

Thanks everyone.
As for this shot, it's part of a polygraph thatI'veshotbefore, as was yesterday's. And the 'glass thing' is actually the polished metal end of a rail that runs along the side of the machine, about 3/4" in diameter.
I'm much happier with this shot than yesterday's, and other than that I don't have a great deal to say today: which is good, because I have no time to say it anyway ;-)
