This is very cool, and I like the idea of removing the lines.

SeekingFocus said 603 days ago:

Was this exposed to where the wires were not visible, or were they edited out?

Miles said 603 days ago:

Thanks, I removed the wires in this shot. I wanted to 'free' the cars from their linear path ;)

George said 603 days ago:

Wow. Quite the interesting shot. I guess these are chairlifts, or the like? If you removed the support wires and poles then to me it loses something, but I do like the result!

dcreighton said 603 days ago:

This is almost surreal do to the fact that the supporting cables aren't visible. Definately gives a "floating through air" feeling to the gondolas due to the open space surrounding them. Expecting to see the cables is a negative though to me since the rest of the image is so real.

dcreighton said 603 days ago:

Blizzard's view of a cable snapping gives this image new intensity when looked at from that viewpoint. Oh my!

pic-a-day said 603 days ago:

Love this shot, the colours are sublime!

kadenajack said 603 days ago:

This is very interesting. I'm assuming you've removed the other parts of a ferris wheel here. It's a really neat effect and I think you did a good job of it. I think I would like it better if there were some people in there too.

Miles said 603 days ago:

Thanks again.

I didn't think of the lack of wires being stressful, that's an interesting take on the subject. I thought it was liberating.

Kadenajack, this isn't a ferris wheel, it's a chair lift across an island off Toronto. I only had to remove the wires. I have another shot of the same subject, with wires, with people in it. But I wanted this to be about the cars, being free, and I think people would have made the cars look like they were still under some sort of control.

Ah, beautiful!! Now this is a creative and wonderful use of negative space. I particularly like that you have three elements in the scene, rather than just one. And I like how they are spaced out. Fantastic.

I do wish they were sharper, but I suspect that this was something like Holga shot (?) and therefore you might not have really been able to get this scene tack sharp.

uncommondepth said 603 days ago:

What are these? The colors are just great!

uncommondepth said 603 days ago:

Ahh - I get it. Brilliant! I already gave good marks, but I'd do it all over again if I could!!

beckn32 said 603 days ago:

The colors on this are beautiful but the floating chairs kind of freak me out.

Ana said 603 days ago:

speaking of colours, this would be great for the 'three colours' theme that seems to be in waiting!

King said 603 days ago:

Tricky. High marks for cheekiness.

bioLarzen said 602 days ago:

All i can say is WOW!

bioLarzen said 602 days ago:

luminouslens,
I'm not sure a Holga could take even this sharp an image... :)

Works for me.

Fives across the board.

Apart from working on the sky/ space and flying seats level I think it also has an extra colour thing happening with the theme too.

Nice one.
