SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
10 NOVEMBER 2018
NEGATIVE SPACE
PHOTOGRAPH IN COLOUR OR B/W. PLEASE KEEP POST PROCESSING MINIMAL

This building in Hemel Hempstead is some 20 storeys high and I planned to zoom in to the top of the building with the hope there would be some blue sky and maybe some wispy clouds :-)

As it turned out it was dull and 'orrible! The sky was just a lifeless grey. I decided to click on the grey part with the 'set white point' dropper in Photoshop Elements to see what would happen. I think white works better than grey here. And, I was pleased that a bird flew into my shot just as I pressed the shutter :-))

Also, for 'Sight and Sound' -
An album entitled "Gene Clark - Flying HIgh" featured some of Gene's very best work. I have, therefore, chosen "Past Addresses" from this album. One of my many faves by Gene. Recorded after Gene had left The Byrds.

Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music

♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Past Addresses ~ Gene Clark

The sky is a great use of negative space, Roger. It looks like the bird really wanted to get into the picture. :)

It's always nice to hear something from Gene Clark.

Well, the bird made the sky to sky. Otherwise, to me it would have been just a white surface... Is it an office building or apartments?
Never heard Gene before and it was to hear something.
5 years ago.
Roger Bennion club has replied to Diederik Santema club
Yes, I think it definitely needed the bird :-) This building was originally the 'Kodak' building but when Kodak vacated it some time ago it was converted to flats. Pleased to have introduced you to Gene Clark.
Cheers, Diederik.
