Inner Storm

I dragged this little table into the water at Shorncliffe and sat an old picture frame on it as a storm came across the bay at dawn.
I took an 80 sec bulb exposure @ f16 and when I processed it I put the picture ‘into’ the frame and then again into the smaller frame within that etc…

    Who’d have thought global warming would affect the planet so quickly?
    I certainly hope you didn’t repeat the picture within a picture any more that three times – that’s fractal!
    An inspired, if not abstract image here, Ben!

  • Roboftheland

    Roboftheland

    conceptually excellant – however due to the change in tones at the border of the picture frame, i think that the lil picture gets lost in this image. perhaps a solid colour frame would work better or perhapsthis frame agains.t a darker background. at a quick glance i would not have noticed the picture was anything special – only the words pointed this out to me.

  • bensound replied

    I take your point Rob, you may well be right.
    Although when you see a large print of the shot the framed picture is a lot more prominent as opposed to the size we view it on a computer screen.
