Blog #2: A Morning in Greyscale
A couple weeks ago we had a slew of days where it was raining, everyday - all day. The sky was covered in heavy cloud cover, the ground was littered with puddles, and the air was damp and wet after many, many inches of constant rainfall. The effect was instant to the environment, the whole world was grey. The sky of course, but the water that sat on the ground was too - as it reflected to near perfection the clouds above. It created an atmosphere reminiscent of old film noir - dark, mysterious, and ominous in equal measure with people walking with their heads down and picking their pathways carefully. The lack of color made everything seem to blend together at times, melding into singular structures that otherwise could have been more detailed and individual. And when the raindrops broke the reflections on the ground, the grey turned to black and the world blurred into motion. It was a lesson into the surreal - how to make a shot of the real world seem like a dream, taking the details of a vibrant place and boiling it down to its base forms. Who knew that grey could be so grey(t)?
