Description
I named it octagon due to the shape naturally
I took the picture inside a mall in HelsingΓΆr, Denmark. It's the ceiling taken from right below it, i was lucky to get the shot right in the middle (except for a few centimetres...)
*edit* This picture really deserves to be viewed in full size. I think all my pics does, but since some of you likes to watch the thumbnails only, i thought i'd add this, since iv'e got comments about people thinking this was a computer generated image, until they looked at the full picture - it really is a photo!!
[EDIT] NOW AVAILABLE AS PRINT [link] FOR YOUR PLEASURE

Nice work. Like it.
It's really hard to find where is border between photo and software..

Do you mean that it is hard to see the difference between a photo like this and a computer generated picture, or how do you mean, i'm afraid i don't really understand.
This is a pure photo, the only thing done with it in the computer is the cropping and some 5% light adjustment. No colour changes or modifications other than that.

I meant something like it is too realistic to be generated image and at same time too unreal to be a photo.
A color corection have no influence to thins. I think the most influence for this efect is croping. Missing a outside elements gives you this efect.

Very cool. I first I thought this was a digital art piece untill I read the comments. I need to start looking up for pictures... hmm

Thanks. I hope some competition comes up here at dA where this picture can fit in, so i can show it of some more, because i'm really really pleased with it!!
I ususally look around me all the time when walking about with my camera. The best pictures is the ones that are everyday things but from a different angle, at least i think so (and of course, beautiful girls, but i don't get the chance to shoot many of those

Check out [link] there are plenty of models looking for TFP's... there may be some in your area. And with great skills like yours, they would be crazy to say no!

Hmmm, i was over at that site. I don't know if i missed something, but i couldn't find anything about anything, other than registering and paying money, and if i don't have a chance to see what i get, i sure won't pay... You really think i could get someone to model for me, if i show my work? I'm just a amateur, and i don't have the funds to hire a model, so that is not an option...

Many models are just starting out and just need portfolio work done. So they are willing to do Trade For Photos (TFP) work. If you simply go to the website and click talent search, then click the models link. You can type in your preferences of model. I looked up models in Sweden just to get an idea and there were 6 pages (147 results, just women)! Give it a shot, it's worth a try to approach someone about it... it's good to gain the experience, you may find your excellent at it! Good Luck!

Thanks for the instructions, i'll try it, absolutely, could maybe turn out to be a good experience

Amazing angle! How do you hold the camera that steady?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! I managed to get EXACTLY right below the pyrmid ceiling. I actually had to kind of hang over some plants that were in a giant pot in the center of that room. I just held the camera right up, no tripod or anyting. It helps alot that my camera (a fuji S7000) has got a very good grip and that i always use the viewfinder and not the lcd screen when i take pictures, and the fact that i grew up using a SLR camera and was taught how to best hold the camera to minimize shaking. If you look at this pic [link] you can see that it's taken with a shutter speed of 1/5 second, and that is also taken without a tripod or any support at all, and the camera has no anti shake thingy or so, so i guess i'm kind of good at holding the camera still.

Cool.
You are truly a master at what you do!
π: 0 β©: 1
Wow, i don't think of myself as a master of anything, just a happy (well, maybe not so happy) amateur. Sure wish i had some more pro stuff, like studio lights and such, that would be nice
π: 0 β©: 1
I think the mark of a true pro is a great picture with nothing but a camera. Having all that fancy equipment takes away from the felling of having taken a picture the old, traditional way.

Maybe you're right, but still, it would be fun to have a studio, so i could take nice portraits and such.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh. If you are doing portraits, then all that equipment is a big help. (have i confused you yet...?)
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh no, i'm not confused, not more than everyday confusion anyway

even without considering your state of mind! this is simply an outstanding image! If it means anything at all you are still in my prayers! i hope a speedy road to comfort for you!

Thank you so much! Yes, it means a lot to me that my friends, IRL- and cyberfriends are thinking about me. It means so much i cannot put it in words.

Wow, impressive! It's really hard to tell whether it's a photo or something some software came up with. Reminds me of those Asian mandalas.

When i checked the photo i took in the camera display, i also thought it didn't look like a photo, more like a photoshop drawing
