A winner! Wonderful Hans! All the elements
of a great photo- Black and white, elegant
simple designer chair, pleasant lighting,
nice linear patterning, good composition! I
like this 1600 film. You mentioned it in
your other shot too. Is it an extremely
sensitive film? Having a point and shoot
digital means I really know little about
photography! :-)
Thanks very much Wendy! 1600 is quite sensitive and suitable for
handheld photography indoors, but still not
extreme: it's two stops faster than 400 which
is commonly considered allround. For this
shot I could well have managed with slower
film though.
Thanks Christopher! The backlight makes it
look a little bit more delicate than it is;
it's really a very robust chair for any one
to sit on or stand upon :-)
Nice composition of showing the chair's dark
silhouette on the foreground, indoors while a
blurred image of another chair peeks from the
outside through the glass door. An excellent
contrast!
I remember one day going to an Ikea shop, sat
on a bed and... Broke the bed... Are you sure
this chair is solid enough because it has
such an aerial design...

The surface of the chair is like a mirror.. a work of gorgeous art. I love your architectural minimalism, Hans. Incredible piece.

Lovely. It looks like a very delicate chair, though. Dare you sit on it?!

Great simplicity. I love this lonely chair thing you got going on. :-)

Incredible shot ... love it!
saw this pic on thousandpics[dot]com :)
hans.soderstrom (51 months ago | reply)
I'm sure Guillaume. It's true craftsmanship, not from IKEA ;-) I don't want to bash IKEA, but not all their products are made to last.
Thanks Ansel!
Thank you John. I do have a thing for chairs :-)
Thank you kindly Chris.

Classic "pinnastol" - nice looking and after about two hours your butt is numb. Great light in this one.
hans.soderstrom (51 months ago | reply)
Thanks T. You're right, they can be hard on the nobler parts.
hablablow (51 months ago | reply)
Ok, I have tried your chair while you were away and I must say... You have a gorgeous sofa Hans.
