Curvture of space-time
« on: July 13, 2017, 13:35:43 »
Taken during one of my Sunday morning walks with my good friend Sid.
We were passing the University of Toronto's Varsity stadium when I noticed the running track through a metal gate, liked the clean lines and curves of the lanes and grabbed this shot.
Nikon FG
Nikkor 24 f2 AIS manual focus
Fuji Velvia 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.

Nicely seen and taken Robert - it should be viewed large.

I like things with blue in them and your image also satisfies this peculiar quirk of mine.

Clean lines and color makes for a great impact indeed. Vantage point makes the perspective interesting as well with the fugue points prominent. Dark areas balancing the whole thing. I love it.

Hugh/golunvolo,
Thanks for the kind comments.
golunvolo,
The choice of vantage point and focal length were just serendipity. I carry a small, light body and lens when we walk, as we are usually out for three hours, and our main focus is to chat, catch up the weeks events and complain about our wives. Any photo opportunities are secondary, and are just quick grabs. My friend isn't a photographer so I'm not inclined to take any more than a minute or two to shoot anything particular when we're out.

very pleasant image, love the contrast of the very white lines with the deep blue

Armando,
That colour contrast and the curve of the track are what drew my eye to the scene.
