Stepping out of the void...

Just playing around with shadow and light... yeah, i know i've got blown-out bits again... i think i like the unearthly / sci-fi feel they give... but i realize to a large degree that's a personal preference thing...

I have a silhouette shot of an entirely different kind in my other album:

And i was playing around with the camera settings challenge... 2nd curtain flash... first attempts result in my other other album:

gorgeous light and shade

[Edie]

Very very cool shot. I love this.

Great b&w

I never thought letter Z could look this cool!

[Nikki]

Brilliant

[Muse]

Very cool shapes and lighting!

[Cromwell]

This does have a cool Close Encounters feel to it.

[scooter]

Very cool!!

[Aleksandra]

Love the play of light and dark in this! Perfect processing into b&w too!

[Peter de Graaff]

The extreme shapes of modernism, a void to avoid, zoids and ellipses.

[Amaya Williams]

Like the severe structural angles.

[Stacey]

I don't know I like the blown out areas sometimes too. I like it, you like it and lots of others like it, so who cares about the rules huh?

[John]

Love the contrast, great shot

[Abhijit]

this is fantastic. love the moodyness of this

[Colleen]

Great shadows

[Katie]

Neat. Love the lines and the sharp angles, plus the hints of people on the 'outside.'

[Karen H]

Three very different shots today. all of them fun.

[Meredith Jones]

I think the blown out part adds to the shot otherwise there wouldn't be as strong of a contrast between black and white. How much more white can you get than blown out.

[❀ Lynn]

Cool...I like those round garden pots, or whatever, under the stairs.

[ladyjane]

Great light and shadows - it is kind of sci-fi-ish, and I like that.

[Michelle]

Its very interesting.. I do like your confidence with your shots

[Richard Tyson]

Yeah this looks really cool. Love your style.

[summerfield]

wowza! they do look like aliens. did they come from those pod halves on the right? :-)

[☠northy]

@summerfield no... they came from the mothership... http://365project.org/northy/365/2012-03-23
;p

[summerfield]

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Cool, I love the alien feel of this & the blown out bits :)

[Mindy Cowap]

love it, those shadows make it very cool

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the angles & strong contrasts.

[Lisa Pouncy]

I love the white-out. It's very cool. Love the silhouetted figures too xx

[Andreas]

I think this is really cool, love the silhouettes agains the blown out areas

[Simply Amanda]

Love! A fav!!

[David]

Great composition and perfect timing!

[Betsie's Pinto Pony]

I'm loving the b/w. There's a 1960's vibe to this shot. Perhaps it's the angle of the shadow from the building? I really, REALLY like it.

[Edie]

This is awesome. Love the light.

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I love all your recent photos! You are on a roll! Fav on this one too!

[David]

Still can't get over this photo, it's awesome.
