Challenge 977: The vacant chair
I had a minor surgical procedure recently in a hospital that used to be part of a former convent. The hospital moved site in the 1970s, taking the original (and very ornate) convent chapel with it. One of the interesting chapel objects was this empty chair on a pedestal. Who could have sat here? Where are they now? And how on earth are you going to cope with the extreme perspective? High res is here.  |

http://vimeo.com/876606044 I'm sorry Josephine, I didn't see your skeleton until now. Very appropriate saying though. This one was difficult, so I ended up making my own plinth. Not entirely sure the perspective is correct but hopefully there's enough distractions in the image to overlook it. 
No AI on my part and most of the images are downloaded from Rawpixel.

I’ll not be joining you this week. Taking my youngest and his partner to Athens for a joint fortieth birthday. Pity …….. this one looks fun. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 977: The vacant chair
for those of you unfamiliar with The Antiques Roadshow, it is a long-running BBC series where the public can bring along what might be valuable antiques for an expert evaluation. The show is currently hosted by Fiona Bruce with a team of antiques experts. No time to completely correct the perspective http://vimeo.com/manage/videos/877201715 _________________ Have you ever noticed that all the instruments designed to detect intelligent life are pointing away from the Earth? |
