This isn’t a Portsmouth specific shot, but I was going through the archives and wanted to share something a little new. I had some great feedback last week inquiring why I might highlight a specific shot over another here on The Daily Portsmouth. Sometimes it’s because it features an iconic location, dramatic clouds, a timeless scene, minor details, or something that happened to catch me in a way that I knew I had to capture that moment.
This particular scene felt like a never-ending hallway (shot in a renovated old mill building), a sense of the unknown and mysterious things ahead – with the symmetry of the walls and darkness broken up by a lit pathway. You can take that metaphor in a thousand directions, but at the end of the day it was leaving the building and being struck by the feeling that had me snapping the shutter.
Kind of like this. Despite all the color pictures that I have of yours, I am a black and white fan. This makes you wonder, if you could see all the way down there, is there an end!
Very nice! Where is this?
Shades of ‘The Shining’! I might walk backwards out of that hallway.
This shot definitely carries a sense of mystery and suspense.
