Life – Streak of Light
Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 2 June 2007 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.
I like this shot. Especially how that streak of light from the sun curved in and illuminated the small puddles of water on the shiny metallic surface of a rubbish bin.
I think some cleaner must have sprayed the water onto it while cleaning up the place.
Anyway, that’s what we all need once in a while. No, no, no not the spray of water (which I think we do need too) but rather a streak of light coming into our lives to illuminate the various muddled puddles of our lives.
I wonder what or who will be my streak of light as I wind down for the weekend...
Wouldn’t you want too, a streak of light? :)
Happy weekend everyone!

Daroru from Amagasaki, Japan
Like the 3D effect and loss of sense of space - are the drops floating in the air or on a surface? - nice illusion.

L.Reis from Lisbon, Portugal
The pattern created by the drops is awesome...and you're right: the curved line of light adds an extra graphical element and the result is just great.

@L.Reis: cool! tks for dropping by :)
Kiran Nair from Cochin, India
Love it... Like the colours on water droplets... I think light is undergoing refraction while passing through water droplets... Nice capture...

Helen from Melbourne, Australia
Superb shot once again. I count on my streak of light arriving every day. My joy is recognising it when it arrives. Too often people are so preoccupied in their daily chores, they miss the moment. It is always there, but we must grasp it before it is gone.

@Helen: tks! :)
very well said Helen - it's true we must learn to have eyes to really see the little streaks of light entering into our world each day, each moment!
tks for coming by and sharing your thoughts!

I like this shot a lot: great light, great angle...wonder how it would look like with very wide aperture...and how beautiful a rubbish can be, eh?
Good job!
