@ordinaryimages: i haven't heard of it before. i'm guessing it shouldn't have been sitting out like this.

Very nicely captured, again the light and white wall is perfection.

Bloody brilliant! Great 'Father and Son' image (I'm assuming they're male!).
18 Feb 2009 7:36am
@RHYS: thanks rhys. they do have a male presence about them :-)
Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
Big and small brothers/sisters at work. Very humorous shot.

Very clever how the curve of the second, smaller spout fits into the shadow of the larger one.
They look like swans or question marks.

Creative use of the shadows. Druh Synchro? You've got me researching again....

@Stovepipe: it's a polish camera, considered a toy camera now - plastic lens, two apertures (f8, f11), two shutter speeds (bulb and god only knows), the lens screws into the body when not in use, art deco look. i really like it. it was an ebay purchase.
david from columbus, ohio, United States
a fantastic composition and shot...what the hell is a "druh synchro" anyhow?
18 Feb 2009 1:23pm
@david: thanks david. if you look at my response to stovepipe, there's an explanation. i might consider parting with it if someone wanted to trade, say, a...woca...

The shadows are great, however it is the cans themselves and the twisty wires that grab my attention most – love all the curvy stuff going on in the middle of the frame – sort of an industrial arabesque. And a terrific composition!

Looks like a scene from a 1950's sci-fi thriller , and this is the only substance to defeat the aliens!

I like the repetition in the faucets of these containers. The shadows aid in the multiple "crooks." Nice one to spot and shoot. Well done.

Absolutely priceless! So well seen. Yep, father and son for sure

Twelvebit from Victoria, United States
Wow. For such a mundane subject this is a spectacular image. Makes me feel like I'm producing dreck.
18 Feb 2009 11:51pm
@Twelvebit: thanks. i had to look up "dreck." i don't think i've ever seen any from you.
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Terrific. What else is there to say? So I'll just look instead.

Bill from Belton, United States
I think one of the most intriguing shadows you have posted Grant! (Phosphene sounds dangerous!)
19 Feb 2009 1:57am
@Bill: thanks bill!
Chris Parr from Jefferson City, United States
Interesting subject and so well shot. There's a cool uneven symmetry between them (if there is such a thing).

Phosphine: Ranked as one of the most hazardous compounds (worst 10%) to ecosystems and human health.
19 Feb 2009 2:04am
@Bill: damn. thanks for the information. glad i didn't mess with the cans.
Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
Cool capture, Grant - though it looks a tad threatening. Good photojournalism.

michele from Canada
for me this image has a funny mix of familial (big/little brothers) and crime scene feel to it. a sharp and intriguing capture.

Oh man! This is just amazing! The shadows are the coolest I have ever seen! What a shot Grant!!
19 Feb 2009 4:26am
@bluechameleon: thanks very much!
Lucca from Cologne, Germany
Funny shadow and wonderful light. Now I've learned Druh Synchro is a cool toy camera and not an actor in a comedy.
19 Feb 2009 6:42pm
@Lucca: :-) i'm told "druh" means "buddy."
lisa v from Gawler, Australia
Oh are'nt they cute..really , they seem almost human like with those long, curved necks.

@taffer: thanks taffer!
Donald Kinney from United States
Looks pretty ominous...
Gotta go Google Phosphene Aeration...
