This is the outside of our new gallery with the reflection of the White Hart Hotel across the road. I have it on good authority that New Plymouth is not the only town with a pub called the White Hart, however it is the only town where this particularly bar was a haunt of mine in my final year of school. Tell no one.
More importantly, our new gallery is sitting spectacularly just on the other side of awesome. The shot I posted yesterday is the interior wall of this one and in the "folds" of the stainless steel there are tall, narrow windows where a person could (if they had the desire to) lurk and scare the bejesus out of more innocent passers by.
This is another lensbaby shot as well...and what concerns me the most is that dash of colour. I have no idea how it got there.
Quite nice on black I think.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
Your secret is safe w me... The selective colour, on the other hand, is concerning... Your inner demons must be taking control... Again... Very awesomeshot, though!
@kerosene I tried it without the pink and it didn't work...weirder than a weird things being weird, but there you go. @epcello Thank you very much :) @taffy It really is an incredible building, and thank you @maggiemae Thank you very much - it's an amazing building @photographycrazy Thanks very much and a splash is all you'll get ;) @888rachel Thank you kindly :) @julzmaioro Thank you very much, it's an amazing place @northy I can't control them, hopefully I'll start seeing in B&W again soon! @amandal All that stuff is in my garden...I miss being at home @juliedduncan Well, I'm thanking you :)
I just love how the curves of the building bend the reflections. Having the kids frolic in the front is really great. Wonderful shot. :) The lensbaby is becoming more enticing!
@aecasey Thanks - I couldn't avoid them really ;) @alinz Thank you and yes, it really must be stopped... @whimsicalgrateful Thank you very much :) @beschnett That's the only way to live really... @rosiekerr Thanks very much - I'm still learning how to use it properly but it is fun
Well if that colour was accidental & not managed after hours of painstaking manoeuvres you are a genius beyond the capabilities of me....big fave! New Plymouth has gone very modern & upmarket since I was there five years ago! I have never tried or been interested to try the lens baby type option on my camera...perhaps I will after this!
@dide Thanks very much :) @happypat New Plymouth is slowly coming into the 21st Century...slowly. There are (and always will be) those in the cit who are dead set against anything new, including a lot of our councillors!
@mastermek Well, you wanted colour so you only have yourself to blame ;) @annied It was high time that I dragged it out again and had another crack at it :) @ceilidh Instant thanks :)
You really have to get 5 stars for responding to so many friends' comments1 I have to admit I look forward to these and am disappointed when all they eventuate is a mass thank you. Its like a conversation and that you are really reading their words!
@maggiemae would now be a good time to admit to having a secretary that does all this for me? ;) @annied I'm yet to figure out how to take a selfie with it...
@graemestevens hahahahaha I just hold the camera out front and hope for the best lol - I do sometimes swing the live view around but that just confuses me
@dianen Thank you very much :) @timewalker Thanks very much - it's such an awesome building, I keep driving past just to look... @bill_fe Thanks very much - I still don't know how colour got there... @semjaja It's a glory of insanity - and yes, I need to stop with the colour... @dibzgreasley Thank you very much :) @blueberry1222 Such an awesome building! @barb_b Thank you very much indeed :) @mastermek ;) @sioux Thank you very much :) @hermann It is rather cool :) @adayinmallacoota It is, as the young people like to say, "amazeballs" @pinkpaintpot Thank you very much :) @annied Yep, makes it a tad trickier
@bigugly Either will do ;) @janiskay Thank you very much :) @annied I'd rather not look at me too often but it's always an option @gamelee Thank you very much :) @lsquared Thank you very much - it didn't work at all in straight B&W @tonygig Thank you very much :)
Yes, this is most impressive....a veritable hall of mirrors that changes every day and with every movement. From what I have read about the artist, it seems really fitting to have a building like this that conveys so much movement. That touch of color is a bit disconcerting, but I am sure it will not happen again....must have been a moment of weakness!
@epcello Thank you very much :)
