Photo 365: Day 153 – Layers

No it’s not Photoshop layers that we all photographers know…LOL

My daughter has this Melissa & Doug easel and it has a spindle where the paper rolls sits. I think it might have been quite some time now since she has last used the paper for drawing and the paper roll has started curling.

As I noticed the paper curl last week, I thought it could be shot for an interesting abstract photo post.

So this evening I had to get underneath the easel to take this shot. As it was relatively darker beneath the easel, I had to bump up the ISO to 800 – hence the grain….here’s where D70 fails 🙁

But I am quite satisfied with today’s photo post.

    Interesting that you were under the easel. I just assumed you were looking down into the paper roll. Nice.

    Yeah, the noise is really the only complaint I have with my camera (D80) but I think it works for this!

    I like the noise, I think it adds a bit of softness that enhances the composition. I know most people despise the presence of noise in their photos, but I find it quite attractive sometimes. I actually have a couple presets for lightroom that add varying degrees of noise.

    It would have been unheard of in film days to take a photo on ISO800 film and not get significantly more noise than you have in this image.
