I had the idea for today’s photo several weeks ago when I took the train to Brighton. On the platform of our local village station there’s a bright yellow painted line for passengers to stand behind so as to be safe when fast trains pass through. I noticed that it made a good contrast with the blue shoes and socks I had on that day and wondered if it would make a good image. As I travelled back from Sheffield today it occurred to me that I was wearing the same combination of footwear so when I arrived at Fishbourne this afternoon I took the opportunity to grab a few shots. Luckily both platforms were empty at the time or I would undoubtedly have received some strange looks, standing there photographing my own feet! I decided a widescreen format worked best so only the yellow line is visible under my feet. I’ve boosted the saturation a little in Lightroom to make it pop a bit more.

Nice contrast. Quirky shot Lynda · 2009-11-18: 09:48

Love this shot since my hubby works in the shoe industry and my daughter ( name Helen BTW) loves coloured socks her Grannny always sent her different coloured patterened socks as presents , so different from the usual dull Italian ones that and underwear , so that was the start of her passion!!!!! Of course Italy has advanced now in that too. ????? · 2009-11-19: 16:13
