Gumbo's Pic of the Day, May 4, 2015: Take a Seat, Please!

London-33

A stack of chairs turns into an abstract display of color simply by turning a digital camera dial. At the other end of the spectrum, with color limited to shades of black and white, they are equally abstract but quite different!

 

London-32

Both images were taken in my favorite London church, St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, built starting in the 12th c. and much altered since. A few view of the church below; for more, see this TravelGumbo blog

These pictures (despite the date from when first published) are actually from 2003, and I'm not sure of the answer. From the precise conformation of the image, though, I suspect that they are the same image, manipulated in the computer. However, most digital cameras these days have the ability to do this kind of manipulation. Including monochrome, which neither version of the image is...

 

This set had a hard life. The original images from that trip (Budapest/Vienna/Prague/ London, a combination of film-scanned-to-digital and digital, were lost for a few years. And then, about 5 years ago, I found a copy of the CD "travelogue" I had made for family members, and was able to recover at least decent versions of the images from there.
