January 2012 - Just A Roof

How I did it -

Out for a walk along a disused railway, I was intrigued by the simple shape of this roof.

This is another simple yet elegant example of john's style. I wonder why in the photo, the vertical lines are all straight but the horizontal line is going downward from left to right. I have encountered the same situation when shooting buildings but have not found the answer yet.

I love the abstract look. Really good idea to make this a B-W picture. I´m guessing color would have distracted from the clean shapes you have so nicely captured here.

Paul Roth

You are correct it maybe just a roof, but the over all effect is very good. You have excellent range of tones. I particularly like the dark shadow on the lower left. Well done John!

Carl Soerens

This was good seeing. This was probably not an interesting image in color. There are a good range of tones from black to white with shades in between. The composition is well done with no extra distractions in the frame. Very well processed.

John Gilkerson - Biography

Like many others I have been taking pictures for many years but seriously for a much shorter period. I joined my first photographic club in 1996 or 1997. Currently I am Vice President of Sunderland Photographic Association.  My photography tends to be mainly landscape and travel but I also photograph abstracts, sport, nature etc. I am 59 years of age and divorced. I live just north of Newcastle Upon Tyne in the north east of England.  I gained my CPAGB in 2008, and my PPSA in 2010.
