Modernist Social Statement

View On White

 

Got to see this image on white it’s really cool. This is a vertorama of a road under path alley near my girlfriend’s home. I was driving home last night from hers about 8 for pancakes (yummy) and I remembered this alley. I had me gear in the car. I down a quick u turn on the roundabout and shot into the local shops were this is located. Got out and took this HDR vertorama. I was getting some really strange looks for people passing by. Oh well, what you do in the name of Art.

 

The image to me is quite interesting. The detail along each wall, the difference in the art between old and modern, a transition between the social histories of the local area. What they used to do on the left and what they do now on the right (farming and graffiti art). I love the monochrome on the left and the very bright colours on the right, and right in the distance at the vanishing point is the commercial shops. Post modernism at is finest. Lol.

 

The shot is a three section vertorama created from 15 images. 5 Bracketed images for top, middle and the bottom. Processed in photmatix and then DRI treated on the lights, shop and coloured wall, and final treatment was all done in photoshop.

 

Taken on a Nikon d300 using a 10-20mm sigma.
