Week #37 (w/b 22 March) Words of Wisdom - Let’s share our best wisdom quotes or indeed your own words of wisdom. So, let's have a week of inspiration and entertainment which will, of course, brighten up all of our days. Forgive me but I might just use this one (!!) “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which one to keep” … now, I will have to go and think of a shot that fits this quote by Scott Adams (American cartoonist and creator of Dilbert).
Billy Wilder once said: "An actor entering through the door, you've got nothing. But if he enters through the window, you've got a situation." A wise thought!
Ray Bradbury's answer was "Bill, I don't do windows."
View the bizarre thing in all it's green frayed-rope glory in a Dark and Large Styley.
While walking across Southwark Bridge I noticed this... thing. Green thing. Sticks up alongside the West (upstream) railing towards the North end of the bridge. It's like a frame for putting something in - a sign perhaps - so it can be raised and lowered... maybe to send secret messages to passing boats. I'm not sure if the rope ever played a part in things, but if it did I doubt it would be able to contribute much now.
Anyway, I thought the texture and colour rather delicious - hence the shot.
I've always thought that Southwark Bridge is one of the most under-used bridges on the Thames - probably because of the change in road layout onto Upper Thames Street making it impossible to go into The City, and the location of the southern approach, which makes London Bridge or Blackfriars more appealing.
Anyway.. I like the bridge and find it very 'old world' - designed in the early 20th Century but with a much older feel... but that doesn't explain The Thing here.
Any ideas?
Enjoy

Anyway, i found some inspiration when I was walking towards another campus in my school and I looked up and saw tons of lines, which now make this photo.
Editing: The composition is only cropped, not photoshopped. Nothing was added/removed from the photo and the clouds are as it is in the orginal photo. All I did was just press b/w in LR3 :)
Simple editing can sometimes be good too haha.
Hope you like it! :D

Intent: I wanted to try to capture the light from the right side (in the walls) and how it was reflected on the wall material to the left in a distorted way and creating more width than actually exists in the structure itself. The colors in the hall were pretty bad so I did some post processing editing and flipped it to black and white to pull out the contrast a little more and accentuate the light. I think there is a light tilting effect when viewing because the reflection on the left is incomplete.
