Man on the Tube



Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: 70 – 300 Nikon VR
f/7.1 at 0.6s
ISO 100
Manfrotto 055 tripod

One day when I was at home playing around with my camera, I started snapping shots of the TV. I did not do it with intention rather just as an experiment. I only took a few shots one of which is presented here.

I think this could be worth experimenting with a little more. A TV could be seen both as a source of light and subject matter. The biggest problem I can see is there are definitely copyright issues to consider.

We live in a time where watching TV is a huge part of our lives. Incorporating this device in some photographs with a purpose to make a statement about our generation could be worth exploring a little further. Creating the imagery presented on the TV to be photographed would eliminate the copyright issue.
