Playing with the in-between bits

The venetian blinds in my office don’t do a particulary good job of filtering out the afternoon sun (even wheh they’re tilted the right way), but I like the effect make. Photo: Su Leslie, 2014. Shot with iPhone4, edited with Pixlr Express.

You would think that being involved in organising an outdoor sculpture exhibition, I’d spend a lot of time, er, outside! But lately I’ve hardly left my office, let alone ventured out into actual fresh air. So I’ve resorted to playing with my immediate environment in search of photographic inspiration.

Black and white photography tells stories of contrast and texture. I was surprised at how much of both I managed to squeeze out of a couple of shots.

The light effects are post-production. I did intend to take the same shot again and again during a day, but I sat down at my desk to just check emails … and, oops, the day was gone. So Instead I’ve worked with the same couple of shots.
