And Yet another 5 more Shades of Grey

[Ryewolf]

I was out in a different part of my town today, as I'd spotted a couple more potential candidates yesterday but it was too dark. So armed with camera I set off and found 7 images. Here are 5 that work well as a set.

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

So halfway there, plus 2 that I'm not sure on unless I can find 3 more that are similar in style.

Looks like you're on a roll now RW....  I find myself guessing what the bigger pictures are with some of them ... For instance in the last set I would not have known about the original traffic sign  that you used as one of your set...  

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Clicker, yes the traffic sign one was unexpected. These are more normal being just various parts of buildings. Yes, this week maybe, it might be a few weeks before I complete the next 5. I have been in two minds whether to put what each one was.

I think it  just shows your ingenuity if you show what these cameos have been derived from ... Adds   to the story ... Well it's just my opinion,  but I'd be interested ...

Just for you Clicker, but don't tell anyone else..

#1 Wood Panelling on a bandstand

#2 Side of an office building

#3 Frame around a delivery entrance that looked white

#4 Pebbledash panel on a house

#5 Roller shutter on a factory

[Clicker]

Aw thanks RW ... Appreciate that....

what a fabulous idea and it will look great as a collection. My only comment would be that # 2 needs to be straightened up, it looks a bit out of place with regular patterns of the others (of course not the regular patterns of the pebbledash)

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Phoenix, just be honest I did think #2 was the weakest of the set, I'll probably end up looking for a replacement for it. The only other 2 I had didn't really fit in with this set either.

Nooooo. I LOVE the graphic simplicity of #2!

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Chris, maybe it just doesn't work with this set of images, as it's an ongoing project sometimes the images aren't always in the order that I might present them as a finished set.

[Phoenix]

I'm not suggesting that you take it out of this set, just straighten up the lines so it will fit in the set. 

[Ryewolf]

I never really know how to correct for perspective skews, I only use Photomatix and Paint Shop Pro 7 for editing my images, mainly because my ageing pc's won't run any of the latest versions of Lightroom.

Im loving your project

[Clicker]

Here ya go RW..  Transformed this very quickly in CS6... looks a bit better maybe ... though I actually liked it off kilter ....

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Clicker, I must admit most of the 25 I've posted so far in this challenge have all been fairly close up shots, and I have on a many occasions decided not to take them straight on,but to intoduce an angle to them. Some I've had to take from further away and that;s when I get the perspective skew, to be honest it's not been something I've paid much thought to as they were meant to be abstracts.

[Clicker]

Well for what it's worth I prefer the original too ... (I was just following  Phoenix'  train of thought in case it was what you wanted.)

i like how it challenges my urge to make something symmetrical....lol 

[kev7d]

Number one is very appealing to my eyes.

[ChrisLumix]

FWIW i don't think those particular lines needed straightening. They are what they are.
