Drainpipe by lauriehiggins

Drainpipe

More bad weather heading our way. The dreary day had me feeling like taking a different kind of shot than normal. My get-pushed challenge this week is to take a black and white abstract showing texture. I'm working my way toward that, but abstract is going to be hard for me.
B&W abstract is difficult but you could get ideas on research using those words. Definitely texture here!

Yeah, I just heard today there is another storm forming off the Carolinas

@maggiemae You are a genius! I now have tons of ideas. Thank you!

Great B&W shot. Looks like you had rain. Guess it missed us.

Good b&w contrast and nice texture work.

hope you get some good weather soon. take care. i like your challenge shot - making the best of more rain
November 6th, 2012  
this is a really great shot, Laurie! I know this will sound weird, but I long for a rainy day. We just don't get too many here, so when we do, it's a treat.

I like the simple, but good shots... you could put your own title to this

@ellen You made me laugh out loud with that comment, Ellen. Oh that we could switch places for a day! I actually love all the seasons and the variety of weather we get, but too many rainy days in a row gives me the blues.

Oh wow, I love this and never would've guessed that it was yours. You really did push yourself. :-) Great textures and details
November 6th, 2012  
Ok, let's do it! Let's trade places! (*closing my eyes tight and trying to make the magic work*)

I like the textures on this one.

@ellen I think you have to be able to wriggle your nose too, like Samantha in "Bewitched." I loved that show as a kid.

@5unflow3r Great! I'm trying to shake it up and these get pushed challenges are great for making you think outside the box. You don't seem to have the same problem as I do with that, but I'm finding it really inspiring.

This is a great shot Laurie and I would say you have met the challenge. I see different textures in the water, the pipe and the bowl. Very nice. My landscapes may be a little late I am sorry..... a cow squashed my arm and i am not able to drive (so no going out of town to get a landscape without houses) and I have to keep it in a sling- I am hoping to get some on the weekend though.

Love your PoV Laurie - you have a great eye to visualise this shot - works surprisingly well in B and W too!

Perfect shot for your "getting pushed" challenge! I'm not ready for another storm, either!

Nicely composed Laurie
November 7th, 2012  
Well this isn't your usual but I really truly like it. Only you would have thought to take a drainpipe and be able to give it character and beauty!!
well done. Can't wait for this storm. but hope it passes sooner than later!!
