Backrest

I had an idea for what I wanted to do for this challenge, and it wasn’t the below. I wanted to take a photo of my computer chair from above, but I couldn’t get a clean vantage point from a ladder, or from my bed. Bedroom is full of stuff.

This was taken from the bed, however. As I was trying to get an above shot I decided to put the camera close to the backrest to try and create a certain feel to the image. It didn’t quite work, but I did get something I thought would work.

As I was editing the photo I played around a bit with contrast and cropping, and decided to try and see what happened if I left only the backrest in, and the below is the result.

I think the  pattern isn’t anything amazing, but I still think it’s appealing. gets across a deceptive view of the backrest’s shape, and I think that’s due to the camera’s positioning.

This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week. This one is hosted by Brian of Bushboys World, and he has chosen the theme of “Chair or Chairs”.

This challenge is open to all, and I recommend joining in. If want to, check out more information about it here, and include the tag “monochrome-madness” when you share your photo. If you’d prefer not to join in, then at the least check out Leanne’s photography, and what other people submit.

I hope you enjoy.

    I would never have thought that this is your computer chair, to be honest I thought it was rows of chairs in a theatre or something like that. It is great, I love it, very different.
