Back to photostream

Sometimes you need to go back to go forward

I aimed to create an image which demonstrated a start point and an endpoint. During a lunch break I sketched out an elemental composition that utilised the rule of thirds (where the pencils intersected).

 

Originally the photo was going to be a 4x3 portrait, but this changed to a square ratio in post as it looked more balanced. I’ve kept the scene stark as I wanted the image to have a plain minimal look.

 

To keep the two pencils upright and level I used Litebee flexible helping hands. This tool proved invaluable during this setup.

 

For the 'Macro Monday' - 'Eraser(s)' challenge, 16th July 2018.
