Photos 4 - More Deep Space

Flat space. So in this photo I placed similarly sized objects flat along a flat wall with little texture. I think I successfully created flat space, my struggle with this shot was a more technological one. So in the background along the ceiling there was convergence, which I shot in front of on purpose to try to flatten that as well by shooting it out of focus (you cant really tell here because the photo edge cuts off the leading lines anyway). But I was trying to get a shallow focus and I ended up getting the plants out of focus as well, which I didn't notice until I had a screen larger than the camera monitor. Whoopsie.

Limited space. I did it. I am super proud of having been able to create limited space here because, as I learned, converging lines are everywhere and they just won't quit. Not even if you ask them very politely. But I think that especially the size difference and textural diffusion work to create space, but I was able to cut out all but one leading line, which blends in a little and doesn't do too much to draw your eye. I did try to cover the line with the goat head, but the angle also ended up covering its face with its horn.

I think this shot works pretty well to create ambiguous space. I saw a beam at night and figured if I shot it from the inside, off axis, and a bit to the side of center, that it would have a lot of cool and confusing lines. Turns out it did! The dark sky helps the ambiguity here as it gives no background reference and obscures much of the details. I think the screws and welding joints give it away eventually, but I think it takes a second to orient yourself.
