February Photo Challenge: Parallel lines

[ninjashaver]

The February photo challenge is...

Parallel lines

A quick Google brings up the following examples: Railway track; edges of a ruler; Zebra Crossing; pencils in a line; electrical wires; ruled paper; fork tines; steps or stairs; railings; keys of a piano; stack of books; skis; shelves

Here is the standard set of rules for the contest, or at least the last ones that know of. If anyone knows anything different, please comment below. It's a long time since I've run one of these.

• the winner of the previous month's challenge picks a new theme and starts the thread.
• You must be the photographer.
• One entry per month.
• Try and make the image a recent one, within reason.
• The competition/challenge/assignment runs until the 19th of the Month.
• Voting runs from the 20th to the 26th.
• The person with the most votes is the winner.

Best of British to all!

Great example and I really like the black and white. I have attempted a few shots but nothing I like yet.

I used my widest non fisheye lens 7.5mm on M4/3 sensor (15mm full frame equivalent) to really exaggerate the converging parallels and give it a bigger than life feel. Lit with small speed light and softbox mounted on camera. Cropped to 16-9 and minor adjustments to exposure, contrast, color and sharpening.

There's a piano that has some stories to tell!

There's a piano that has some stories to tell!

It's a Story and Clark from around 1890 or so. I don't know much of it's past it came with our house. The former owner refinished the wood, but never got around to replacing the ivories. I kind of like the looks of the original keys next to the refinished wood so I've left it that way. I had it tuned many years ago and used to plink around on it a bit, but it's getting pretty out of tune lately. My daughter and other kids have had and still occasionally have fun banging around on it.

My entry for Feb., taken last Sunday morning. Cropped, minor adjustment to light and curves.

I vote for #4, although I also like #1. Nice job Gents.

#2 gets my vote.

 

[Saxonbowman]

I like all of them but my vote goes to #4

 

[JackC]

Ok, so as we don't seem to have any more votes, I'd say this contest belongs to Troy. Congrats, mate

Congratulations Troy.

 

[Saxonbowman]

Congratulations Troy! Good showing by everyone.
