Nets!

[ashwinvissa]

Hi all,

Want to know if there are any tips for shooting something like this. Had only my mini-tripod for this shot. No cropping, only basic curves and sharpening in P'shop.

Very psychedilic. Abstract shot to me. What does it look like from the outside I guess. Is this how they dry fishing nets?

If you want to keep it abstract you could try lying on the ground and shooting straight up. Otherwise, help the viewer with a few hints about context. I dunno, a shot of yourself standing inside or a view through the nets?

I really have no clue what this is.

uvsub: I guess I should have made this clear in the beginning and probably given a different title to the thread! These 'nets' are not really fishing nets at all! They are but a protective covering from falling leaves and branches at this coffee-house that I frequent! It was cloudy outside and for the fist time the way they filter light actually caught my eye. The fact that I'm usually carrying my camera these days wherever I go had something to do with me noticing them I guess! ; Apologies for what is a mis-leading title!

ashwinvissa,

By all means go back there, this is a gold mine of possibilities. Outside at night shooting in, a sunset coming through, someone's portrait. Just some better context and you've got a good one.
