Dribs and drabs
« on: July 24, 2017, 19:18:21 »
Taken in downtown Toronto a number of years ago.
I was in the downtown waiting for a now-forgotten event to take place when I noticed stacks of soft plastic pylons that were to be used that day to cordon off the public from the parade route.
The ring of flash (excess plastic from the molding process) along the bottom of each pylon made an interesting pattern and I grabbed this shot.
motorized Nikon F2AS
micro-Nikkor 105 f4 AI manual focus
Ektachrome 100 ISO colour slide
5.6 @ 1/1000th

I shoot with film. That's film. F...i...l...m. You remember film. It was in all the papers.

It does indeed make for an interesting shot! Quite the abstract.

Without your explanation i would have never guessed the origins of this very nice picture.

Robert, at first glance I got all excited with what I thought was a food shot - then I read the text!  ;D

Never-the-less a nice shot with its framing and smooth blending of colours and textures - as others have noted.
