A few shots from my workplace

[Steffen]

First, my desk:


Next, we have the canteen:


And finally, the bathroom:


Ok, I'm lying, these are actually shots from our Cockatoo Island meet. But it would take a trained eye to spot the difference...

Cheers

I suppose you didn't ask your boss permission before taking the pictures!
Very nice images, but the light in the first two looks a bit flat. I am gessing
it's because of the defused light coming from the roof or high windows.
I prefer the last one and I like in particular how you took the picture of a corner.
I must try this sometime!

Thanks zafra for your comments. Yes, the dynamic range is very small in some of the inside shots, that was immediately apparent from the histograms. I decided not to spruce it up too much with the sliders in PP.

Some of the workstations in the turbine hall actually had some streaks of light across them but the one above was the only one not defaced by some modern poster about the history of the place...

Cheers

a different take on probably something that everyone on the day had a a shot of

Your composition on the first image is great i reckon, but true for the flat light tones, but hey! post processing..thats a good thing =D

Steffen,

Good concept on how you've presented these.

On the last one, have a look at t cropped square. Use the sandstone pillar to the right of the basins as the rh edge of this image, and tell me what you think.

You mean like this?


I thought of the corner itself as the main feature of the image, the square crop obviously changes that and transforms it into something completely different.

Funny how that happens.

With this very different image now, who noticed the almost Escher-esk pipes underneath the basins before? Come on, fess up? I certainly didn't.

You work for the government?

You work for the government?

Too funny!

Nice images however I do think it lacks a bit of contrast.

Good crop with the basins as gary suggested, as the original made my eyes leave the image

[zafra52]

You are quite right that cropping has changed the image. However, I find the original a more interesting image.

Nice work Steffen!
