  Good Rob! Was this car moving? .... and where do those orange / yellowgreenisch reflections (even in the frame of the window) come from? This shot reminds me a bit of some "abstractions" from Saul Leiter

  I waited with the setting low sun in my back to make a picture of the shed with a moving car in between the shot, so that it would mix with movement and reflection of the low sunlight. The strips do come from reflections from the car and arm and driver inside are wonderful visible. With central vertical post and myself in right position. In post process I adjusted the settings a bit. Luckily the shed turned out beautiful greenish, so as a whole together, with only 1 try, I received this outcome. And am pleased with that !

  All right, quite nice! I had suspected something similar, but could not believe that the low sun alone was causing these orange reflections.

  Saul Leiter I didn't think of him, but now you mentioned, I understand. Yesterday I realized again, that 90% of the photo's are registrations of situations 'outside' that we already know from normal life. To me, they are mostly not adjusting anything new. And never revealing something from within, our personal, inside world. So making work that combine both is what I'm looking for.. New, created images that reveal us something of our mental, emotional and psychic layers. With Untitled 00 I'm moving in that direction. But I wil not become rigid.

  Yes, I like it quite a bit! However, something bothers me, that I would have "operated out". You know that I also make such "experimental movement pictures". Some things are left to chance, which I sometimes correct with the software. In this picture, for example, I find the white, eroded oval spot on the right in the window pane (with the yellow corona) excellent On the other hand, the dark object to the left spoils the harmonious reflectionsYes, you asked me and I justify my opinion. By the way, I don't think it's "disreputable" to manipulate an experimental photo!

  " the dark object to the left " Operating out the photographer.. ? without, could be good also, but flattens the picture. Remember the option about the running figure in the picture with 2 oranges ?

  Yes, of course I rememberYou and I have quite a few times had different views on possible improvements within the compositions. It is, as so often in life, a matter of opinion and if the dark object is not too dominant for you, the composition is not in question. If we don't give the other a "like", there is probably something in the composition that contributes significantly to the devaluationand the nice thing is: weeks later it sometimes doesn't bother you any more and you suddenly realise that you devalued the picture unjustly ....
