Abstract Another spiral...

Another spiral... · 04:48 PM

Yet another image of the same sliver of metal that has given me so many hours of delight so far! No doubt there are still more views to be found...

Another thread there - a white (?) one this time. But the shavings are great for exploring minimalist imagery. Nice short.

Having spent many years as a metal machinist, I am not quite sure how this gives hours of delight !

Terry, good point so I'll try and explain my thinking. What to you is a waste by-product of your work would have been equally useless to me until I had the idea to look a little closer. Once I'd seen some shapes I wanted to take images of, the hours of delight were involved in the technical exercise or getting those shapes in front of the lens, at the right plane of focus, and with enough light to take the image.

I guess its a very valid point in so many aspects of photography, what one person sees as normal, every day, nothing special is interesting and exciting to someone else. I grew up in a city which was steeped in history, but to me some of the buildings were merely places where I caught the bus that took me somewhere. It wasn't until I spent time chatting to a tourist who had done his research did I actually understand that there was all that history.

Thanks for the comments folks, I had the chance to have a bit of a tidy up and crop of the original, and actually turned it 90 degrees to see how it looked.

Neat.

@PJ1; should like this one, as I'm not seeing any threads.

Looks like infinity. It's interesting. I prefer the vertical one, though. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I do! Now I want you to express it as an equation.

(And it would not surprise me if there was someone here who could!)
