DarkElf Photography
it came from outer space
Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 26 March 2009 in Art & Design.
something "different" today... this strange object found itself on one of the most popular beaches in Perth a couple of weeks ago... it wasn't a part of a cargo spill but a display as part of a sculpture competition at Cottesloe Beach... a magnitude of other object made it as well but this one caught my attention the most for some reason... apparently a similar exhibition takes place at Bondi Beach in Sydney...
welcome to my photoblog and thanks for visiting... my aim is to learn photography and share my experiences with you, not only through my attempts at photography, but also through showing different aspects of the world that have caught my interest over the time that i have been walking this planet... hope you enjoy the journey with me...

Cool framing, a bit of fill-in flash may have worked well to light the scene

great shot!!! too bad you had to spoil the mood, and tell us it was "put there", instead of having landed there!!! pretty bizarre to find this on a beach!!

I really like this, both the composition, and the fact that it's a sculpture. Nice one.

a very ugly piece of metal in such a beautiful spot - and they call that art? I can see the interest, only because of your phenomal work: the exposure is simply fantastic! Great job! :)

Perfect Title. Very interesting to find something like this not in its enviroment. I imagine a lot of people would wonder. Without the story I know I would wonder how it got there. Great shot.

Well, art or not, that one comes from Graanweg in the Netherlands, I think ! How impressive it looks nestled in the sand like that as a great piece of artwork . .

What a cool image and great colour. Buried treasure washed up on the beach? Maybe.

I never would have guessed that it was part of a competition and not a washed-up-on-the-beach cargo container. Nicely done.

That is a great photograph! I love it with the red - very creative work in this competition! Also, good to hear from you, keep up the great work!

Interesting subject ....
Think that the match quite nicely there on the beach, with its red color! Fine composition and the like that you see a little of the sea in the background, it creates a nice depth!

I don't know what it is about this shot, but I absolutely LOVE it! The composition is so simple, and that red is so striking. This is brilliant!

first it looked like a container, but after reading your text i guess this was a very creative idea, love the late tones too.
