At the Ballet by taffy

At the Ballet

We got to the ballet early so I had the opportunity to take photos in an almost empty theater. From Valentine's Day but just getting to processing/posting it to continue b&w February.
Lovely curves of seats, and how unusual to get an empty theatre to photograph! Hope the ballet was good.

Great idea to get there early. Love the gentle curves. I did one of these recently - great minds!

Great pov, and B&W :)

Love this shot. Works so well in black and white - all those repeating shapes

Your level viewpoint emphasises the curved row of chairs very well and the shallow DOF makes it an interesting picture.

Great view that probably isn't seen a lot. The way the light gets stronger in the middle draws you eye in.

Isn't wonderful to take your camera to such events and watch the faces of ppl trying to figure out wtf you're doing taking pics of empty seats? I enjoy watching ppl watching me. It's fun. Great shot, btw! I like the tones you've captured as well as the repetition of the seats. :)
