  1. Looking back from April, parked city bikes in #Amsterdam sit half buried in fallen leaves beside brick walls and red vines.

    One frame pulls back to the sidewalk, while the others stay close to the wheels, handlebars, baskets, and autumn mess.

  2. Lens-Artists Challenge, #371: Street Details

    Preamble: I originally created a series of animated GIFs for this post, which I uploaded to Giphy and embedded in the WordPress post. Unfortunately, it didn’t work and the images were not displayed properly — or at all. So instead I have displayed red/cyan anaglyphs, which actually looks quite cool although you really won’t see the stereo effect without 3D glasses.

    This week it’s Ritva’s turn to host the Challenge, and her theme is ‘Street Details‘. On her blog, Ritva Sillanmäki Photography, Ritva didn’t waste any time getting to the point: ‘This is a simple challenge … , skip the classic street-portrait approach and zoom in … . The goal is to reveal the often-hidden, magical world, of the details we never take the time to notice’.

    For this Challenge, I took the Fujifilm Finepix Real 3D W3 digital stereo camera down the side streets of Oiã. I was looking for those items that might normally be overlooked: a worker’s stepladder in the street, an abandoned house, benches and bins in the new park, and a few other places. The abandoned sofa, on the road leading to Estação de Oiã, the railway station, has been there for a while, and I recorded that the first time I was out with the Real 3D W3. The park has only been open for a few months, and the ‘yellow brick road’ provides a pleasant short cut between the main road and the Town Hall.

    Themes for the Lens-Artists Challenge are posted each Saturday at 12:00 noon EST (which is 4pm, GMT) and anyone who wants to take part can post their images during the week. If you want to know more about the Challenge, details can be found here, and entries can be found on the WordPress reader using the tag ‘Lens-Artists’.

    Addition: Instead of using Giphy, I uploaded an album of the animated GIFs to Tenor. This was not easy. First of all, the images needed to be approved before they could be accessed, and to add insult to injury several were flagged as ‘spam’. I appealed those decisions, and hopefully these will be restored. In the meantime, I will attempt to add an animated Gif with the ‘Tenor’ block, but I can only do this on the desktop.
