Hello everybody,

I am back from holiday and going to fill you with few sets of images from my trip. First I would like to show update to series called 'Next to sky' (to find in my website). Will be happy to hear your comment.

Regards,

K.Polak

I love the subject matter and have been planning to spend some time shooting details of power poles myself. I didn't have a b/w high contrast theme in mind, though.

I kind of like all of these shots, my pick would be the last one. The first one looks very interesting, too, almost like shot for a Mary Poppins film poster...

Cheers
Steffen.

the first one is a beauty but the others don't work for me.

perhaps its because of the variety of shapes, the "border" on the right or just because its just black and white with nothing in between.
Not sure if the power line makes or mucks up the pic but either way its a great, starkly simple image.

Guys, thanks for your comments. I agree that subject is aquite specific and really depends on taste and preferences.

Big Red, reason for borders is that those are samples from my web. Whole series can be found here:

I really like the second shot. The bird silhouette contrasts against all the man-made, wirey stuff. I'm not sure if that's the statement that you were trying to make, but it stood out to me!

Great series. I love the concept. I cn see I'm going to be stepping in dog doo more often as I scan the rooftops from now on...

Kinetic, actually I dont interpret this shot that way. However I find that this series has a very, very different meanings for different people and generate quite different responses. Seems to have a lot of posible ways of reception.

Manta, that will mean you are really lucky man, either to make something such imposible or to get great shot I look forward to see your shots

Thanks again for comments,

K.Polak

what i meant by border was the outline of the building on the right which creates a sort of border ...
its a great pic

cool reminds me of uk design outfit Tomato's work
very urban cool and minimalist
this sortof photography of mundane subjects appeals tome because the viewer is forced to look deeper to find basic principles in composition and appreciate it, i like your skilled eye.

is this taken overseas from your recent trip?

Thanks Wendellt for your comment. Yes, all six images where taken in Europe or to be more specific in Poland. I knew I will be able to update this series very easy. It is much easier to find this subject there then in Sydney.

intersting style. For me it is number one, but I would not use the black boader (but I understand that this is part of a series)
The thing I love about this forum is that it makes you think about photos that you would never take. THANKS.

Krystian,

Nice photos. I like this style. Welcome back.
