Seemingly Boring Photographic Subjects

Sometimes I take pictures of things which appear … well, not interesting. It’s not immediately clear why I took this picture, for instance. Have a look, and see if you can see why it was interesting to me.

Do you notice how the light-pole lines up exactly with the corner of the building, giving the illusion that it’s actually attached to the building, but that the shadow it casts upon the building tells you otherwise? And how the car obscures the base of the light-pole, so you can’t verify whether it’s attached or not?

Fun with perspective, light and shadow, and exposure.

  1. You gave the answer without waiting for responses! 😛 Might have been interesting to see what others espied in the photo. As for myself, I noticed the light pole, but focused a little more on the shadow first.
