Absolutely! The diptych started in the church with two side-by-side panels. Your triptych, here, is perfect, and the contrast of the blur and sharp focus images is a bonus.

I frequently enjoy using natural divisions in a shot to create the illusion of a traditional tiptych or diptych especially when shooting through windows or shooting reflections in widows. IUsing the window frames as natural framing device can be an effective way of creating multiple images within a single image.

And from time to time I find that an otherwise very ordinary photo can be given extra dimension and interest by cutting it up in post,  into a triptych or diptych. And sometimes juggling the photo elements about within the frames created helps create an even more effective story telling mechanism by forcing the viewer to think a little more carefully about what is going on within the images.

Oh, yes! After I pulled my head out of the stratocumulus, I came back to the artful editing, less is more, and those vibes that Ralph Gibson plays. Then, I segued to Porsche Macan Turbo Miami blue, but you've got more cobalt blue working, and the panels aren't Porsche, so I am up in the clouds, again. Composition and color. And, you have the cold steel in counterpoint to the diaphanous clouds. Wink-wink, nudge-nudge, more than just a little applause!

Remarkable work! Not here, but your "Waterwall" series has a current all of its own. Really admire your sense of color and the unique look of your take on the urban scene and meaningful portraits on the fly.

Waiting for more from your chorus.

Thank you Ernest, it is very kind of you and I appreciate it. The Waterwall at the National Gallery of Victoria was a lucky find and it is a feature at that Gallery  which makes for some remarkable shooting when people take advantage of it. I am glad I was able to make those shots in my Flickr Photostream and create an interesting series of semi abstract images. I must admit I learned from studying the remarkable work of Saul Leiter who made many beautiful images in both color and black and white though I admire his color work especially. And more especially his work utilizing reflections and distortions in and through windows.

best regards Peter

Thanks Rog, with lock down and time on my hands I remembered taking this shot last year of a lovely summer sky reflected on the panels of a van parked up on the side of the road. As it happened I had the 28mm on the camera so had to get up close; god knows what the owner was thinking. Only recently did I make the connection with this diptych thread, thinking they consisted of at least two frames not one. Sometimes it’s how you think about things after the event, in this case a long time afterwards.

Yes, and there's Haas's color work, too, which I am sure you know. You might take a look at Chris Marker's Passenger's, as well, what he's doing with controlled color and his novel approach to shooting subjects on the subways.  "Masterpieces among us," as I recall.

There's also Francois Halard's LibraryMan book on Saul Leiter's empty apartment:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/0935875271/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_-SYQEb4DVFXKT

This is exactly the spirit of creative diptych construction, like dovetailed images assembled in the fashion of church diptychs or triptychs with folding wings that closed to protect the painting at an altar. Ralph Gibson's books are invariably a series a diptychs, since he carefully chose images that "commented" on one another, working in counterpoint. In other words, two images, two separate ideas, that start the dialogue commenting on one another. I just found a copy of Syntax, and here the diptych images are purposely different sized verticals.

Not heard of this book before, Rog, preview looks really good so might just get a copy.

Google Chris Marker Passengers images, too, for a looksee.

It's one of my favorite; I am a big Marker fan.

Cheers,

Wow! Now this is different! You must have had to get out the protractor, the slide rule and abacus to come up with the geometric alignments. But the colors! The colors work so well here in sympathy with one another, repeating to form a kaleidoscope of mathematical ingenuity. Red slicing bold diagonals, yellow describing a bold and stable center, the muted greens and pastels shoring up the strength and sense of solidity. and speaking of solidity, it's only then that we realize and recognize and tip our hat that this is all hard surfaces (sorry! PICTURES of hard surfaces!), repurposed and appropriated in the service of art.
