Strange Terrain


Strange Terrain

"Strange Terrain" - Olympus OMD EM-5 - 1/120 ƒ/11 ISO200

The thing I like about this shot is the relative lack of straight lines.
The dominant shape in most built environments is the rectangle, the special, equilateral rectangle (i.e. the square), and the half rectangle (i.e. the triangle), all of which are of course defined by straight lines.

In this frame most of the structures have curves. That's not to say that there are no straight lines, rectangles etc, however most of the standing structures have more curves than straights or are dominated by curves - and I kind of like it.

Makes for a kind of, well, Strange Terrain.
