Fat and Skinny

Posted by Twelvebit (Victoria, United States) on 9 November 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual.

I have no idea where the ridiculous shutter speed came from. And it was very frustrating to prepare this image with ACDSee Pro. For some reason, ACDSee wants to block up the blacks like it's in 16 color mode or something. Baffling.

@Oly B: One of those images where color seemed like less rather than more.

Cool image BUT what is it. Gotta love your shutter speed. Does Nikon know? ; )

@blistr: Chairs in a boardroom, with microphones for teleconferences (in the background). I have a version where the background is in focus, but liked this less obvious version better.

very cool shot. trying to figure out if that shutter speed was fast or slow - too many numbers for me...

I do like the gloss, but what is it? an abstract Laurel & Hardy. The f-stop is on track.

Sometimes the EXIF data gets lost and the software turns mad, but this is quite a cool image, though!

i think it is some sort of upload error -- there was a post in the Am3 forum regarding this months ago -- don't remember the outcome of that thread though -- but back to the photo: fantastic shot here mate!! this is just awesomely abstract -- and the textures are alluring and mysterious!! bravo!!!

@dj.tigersprout: No, it uploaded fine. The problem was between ACDsee Pro and Photoshop/Capture NX. The image was fine in Photoshop and Capture NX, but blocked up in ACDsee Pro. I prepare for posting with ACDsee Pro but this time had to use Photoshop.

Unless you mean the shutter speed. In that case, yeah, could be, I have no idea. It doesn't show up like that in my EXIF data.
