\"Come<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

To be frank, there\u2019s probably no great mystery behind this image.<\/p>\n

Yes \u2013 it\u2019s a slinky.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span> <\/p>\n

My husband was having a bit of a tidy-up in his office and came across it hidden at the back of a draw. Not having seen the slinky for years, and somewhat delighted at this long overdue reunion, he played with it for a few minutes and then called me through. \u201cHey, would you be interested in photographing this?\u201d I poked my head around the door. \u201cYep\u201d.Thus began the up-close and personal photo-shoot with a slinky.I soon discovered the two most difficult aspects of photographing this object were simplifying the shapes, and utilising the repetition to create an image where your eyes were very happy to just casually and lazily \u2018roll around\u2019 the curves, and not depart the picture all together!Lighting played a big part as well. Balancing the lighter parts of the image with the darker shadows, and using these to control where you\u2019re looking and being directed through the image, was not an easy task.I tried lots of different versions.Some with the \u2018hole\u2019 at the bottom pointing to the left.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span> <\/p>\n

And some with the hole at the top, pointing to the right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span> <\/p>\n

I even tried a \u2018landscape\u2019 orientation. Here\u2019s the \u2018in camera\u2019 shot of \u201cCome Full Circle\u201d presented horizontally.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span> <\/p>\n

After much consideration, I finally decided that, for a single image, the hole near the top, pointing to the left was the most effective arrangement which didn\u2019t encourage your eyes to leave the picture prematurely.<\/p>\n

\"Come<\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n

Then, just for fun, I put on my \u2018triptych hat\u2019, and experimented with some multi-panel arrangements. I decided to work with square images and arranged them into a T-Cut, \u2018building block\u2019 configuration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span> <\/p>\n

Next came a standard horizontal presentation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

And finally, a diptych (using just the middle and right images from the triptych above) with a cheeky gold colouration.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Notwithstanding a lot of rewarding experimentation, in the end, I came to the conclusion that my single image, with its simple patterns and presentation, was still what I enjoyed looking at the most.So, here\u2019s to the lucky finds you can make hidden in the back of a draw \u2013 may your spring-cleaning uncover equal, inspirational gems!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
