Spaceship Earthby *thinkingupwards

Photography / Conceptual

through thought and time we stray down the uncertain path, seeking desperately to apprehend the changeless, the eternal, grasping with all our being at the heels of the intangible. inevitably we fail, subdued by the ever-present truth of our very existence, the truth of all existence... the changeless IS changing, seeking balance eternal.

note: this photograph is a self-portrait/2 minute exposure and was taken last night during a sunset using an RF remote
(B+W ND #110(10stop), B+W KSM CPL)

I took a couple other variations of this that came out pretty decent, perhaps I'll upload one or 2 later. I wanted to use a grad filter for the foreground but didnt feel I had time to set it up as this shoot was fairly spontaneous. The more I look at this though I think I actually like the blackness, to me it kinda represents the "unknown" and the uncertain reality of what may happen when our balance is upset.

Thank you for looking.

(btw today is my birthday

)

Great use of angles,the size effect plus the seeming teetering movement say a lot. The darkness is very interesting as well. I get the feeling like the person is sort of part of the darkness,like they are just as uncertain and unknown as the darkness,compared to the wider world that is illuminated.

Oh and happy belated birthday. We just celebrated my dads 45th birthday,can't get my head around how fast time flies by.
