This is just a little something from a carpark of a DIY store. I was impatiently waiting for the parents to buy... whatever, when I wandered around with the point-and-shoot camera that I had at the time. I only got a few shots due to being terrible at photographing in busy places on my own, and this is the best of that small batch. It's not a shot that I am particularly happy with, but it has accrued 50 favourite-list additions over time so it can't be so bad. Hah.

Nice angle. Such a strong, powerful line. Contrast is lovely. I like your square images.

arctoa In reply to inessentialstuff [2008-03-09 06:45:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'm fairly obssessed with square images at present, almost to the point that it limits what I can do. Hahah. I'll have to think up a project for myself at some point that deliberately avoids the crop, I think. Anyway, thank-you for the comments and favourite-list additions: it's muchly appreciated.

inessentialstuff In reply to arctoa [2008-03-09 17:41:30 +0000 UTC]

Well, it's cool to go through "phases" like that--keeps the photography fresh and creative. I've just recently done a few square crops. I not used to looking through the viewfinder that way, so it's fun. I think I'll try more. So you've inspired me.

very cool and effective. To me it's about decisions and how often we need an arrow to point us in the right direction... but hey that's just me, 'to each his own'! good angle.
