Life on Mars

er dette gull?

Funny how time flies! A new challenge is up on the Twitter Photo Challenge group. This time the topic is "kontraster" (contrasts).

As I've done a couple of times before, I've shot a photo just to get my mind going. For once, the photo is taken handheld in natural light without any special gizmos or anything. I used a 50mm lens with a fairly large aperture (f/2.0). Underexposed EV -1 1/3 deliberately.

What you see here is a fresh pine branch thrown on a pile of old, dry ones. I've been cutting down trees and shaping others lately, and this motive came as a result of that.

This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

Great photo, the exposure is perfect and I love the background patterns.

Pent bilde. Vet ikke om bruk/grønn regnes som en kontrast, men gammel/ny funker fint. Du må ha følt deg naken uten blitsene dine, stakkar.

Og forresten; jævla bra bokkè, som vi sier i Lørenskog om både rødvin og bakgrunner.

nerdegutt: Jeg går ut fra at tolkningsrommet er like fritt som i tidligere runder, og at kontrast ikke bare må tolkes bokstavelig :-) Blitsene var for øvrig med, nerdegutt, de ble bare ikke brukt. (Men de skal få delta senere i uka)

benwmbc: Thanks Ben. The lens I use here is the Canon 50mm f/1.4. I can throw pretty much everything out of focus with that lens and that aperture. But the out of focus-areas get a very special look, almost patterned. I'm not sure whether I like that effect or not, but at least that's what you see here.

Ja det var absolutt ment for fri tolkning, håpet på stor bredde i hvilken type kontraster som ble brukt. Og det har det jo blitt allerede, gammel-ny, stor-liten, lys-mørke osv, så jeg er veldig fornøyd :)

I love the background here and how you've used the light. Good work!

Trond Gjerde: Takk for det! Jeg skal prøve å ta minst ett bilde til før jeg bestemmer meg for om dette blir ukens bilde fra meg, men jeg skal la ditt ønske her veie tungt :-)

Minneapolise: Da fortsetter jeg med fri tolkning.

anii579: Thanks Anii. As I said above, the background is out of focus in a messy way I think -- but I'm glad you like it.

For en grønnfarge!! Kan hvile øynene på dette bildet lenge. Enig i fortolkning av oppgave, og kommer vel for å gå for noe lignende - skarpt skille mellom farger. Man bruker jo fargekontrast om annet enn svart-hvitt.
