This was shot between two of the movable bookshelves in the new library here at Middlebury College.
I dunno why, but I found it very striking. I love when photos come out as a suprise; I never really expected for this shot to work, let alone result in such an amazing image.
I'd love to hear what people think...

Taken during January
35mm T-Max 400, processed by me
Negative scanned using Nikon Coolscan 5000
Photoshop change mode to grayscale, autocontrast, crop, unsharp mask (slight)
I thought everything was a little out of focus at first - and then I realised why everything was out of focus.
That's a very good shot I must say, it has abstraction already without being too over-beared by being symmetrical~
I guess it may be a little better if it was sharp somehwere, I'm that close to faving it, but its lacking a little bit - just to take it into epic levels.
I tried doing some unsharp mask-ing in PS and it sharpened things up in the center, but then I decided I didn't really like it that way, the focus for me was less on the "focal" point, than on the shapes, and the colors...

A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Lifehacker takes a look at the 5 Best online image editors. For those of you that don't use Photoshop, I highly suggest taking a look at this, as these apps allow you to edit your images in a browser window, and some are VERY powerful!
In this article you will find many thumbnails of the sun in different forms, all photography featured here by the club feature-me. Please show your support for these artists and their work and the article so that more people can see their work.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
