A shot of the night sky with the iPhone and hipstamatic app. As you can see it’s not black like the sky but a hypnotic red possibly partly down to sodium light pollution but also the fact the camera is quite limited when it comes to shot like this..
The shot signifies personally the blackest day of 2011.
The ePHOTOzine weekly black & white challenge has a theme neglect. As a kid I always remember the garden shed as being a place that had areas of neglect. While my mum used most of it for potting plants there were darker areas that housed spiders and masses of thick webs.
I decided to try and recreate the feeling I had as a child of around five in who saw the world from a lower perspective presented with a mass of new information and fantasy mindset.
This is the result. It’s not a competition winner. It’s not even something that would get viewers to click on and say they like, but it’s a shot that captures a fragment of what I remember seeing in the corners of those neglected windows all those years ago.
