Something kind of different
Posted By: mel, 05-29-2008, 09:34 PM

I know there are times when I should probably just leave the camera in the bag but the water swirling on the windshield at the carwash makes such fascinating shapes and patterns. I shifted the colors over to the blue end because they were originally a nondescript see-through water colored and I like blue. I thought these made for some kind of cool abstractions.

The dark lines and arch-like shape in the upper left corner of the first one is the structure housing the carwash, the arch being the exit and the lines the roof supports and track.

I have always wanted to do this. Thought about trying with a tripod in the backseats at night. Great shots
I've never gone through car wash at night. Depending on the lighting you could get some cool reflections.

Very relaxing colours. Quite a sight. Did you fall asleep in there?
Lol no. These aren't the original colors. They were just a sort of greyish transparent no real color color. I shifted the entire hue toward blue because, well, I thought it was pretty

Nice, I like just these kind of photos! Before reading the text, I thought the first one was an aerial photo of a river delta
Thanks! I can see the river delta thing, and the specks in the lower right are islands maybe?

Thanks! Be sure and post what you come up with. Maybe we could do an entire thread of just shots of carwashing from inside the car.
