Benches Make Great Photography Subjects

Captures from Finland

All through 2025, Jude of Travel Words fame has invited us to give our Sunday posts over to benches. I’ve seen many of the post, participate once or twice. But here is one for the last bench post of the year. Boy, did I take myself on a search, I found lots of images of chairs, but a bench. I have to notice them differently, now I look for a place to sit, but also notice them as photography topics.

This one I found after a couple of hours, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover it buried among many others. During that time, I did edit some photos that I came across, which I found to be quite worthwhile, though they had gone unnoticed before. There is a treasure trove of images in my collection that I should look more carefully at, as many I’ve just ignored in the past because I felt I had nothing relevant to post at the time. As I sift through my archives, I found few that deserves to be shared, and it inspires me to revisit these moments and potentially share them with others. Taking the time to explore these overlooked images might reveal hidden gems that could spark joy of discovery or nostalgia.

When you really think about it you can create a story around a bench easily, why is this man sitting on this bench, why here? A seaview enjoyed on a bench, perfect for enjoying nature or could there more to this image?

Not really a bench, but you still can sit on them. I took this shot as the chairs looked so right in their place, the colors on the chairs match so well to the foliage in the background.

Something I noticed #17

Stairs, up and down. Come and go… Just something I noticed and really liked. The light play, leading lines.

Three takes in color and black and white versions too, looking at the stairs from three different angles. Up, down and from the side.

The darkest version is my favorite. That was not hard to guess, it think 🙂

Window, I know again. Just something I noticed and really liked.

Three takes color, and then two black and white ones with different exposures and contrast.

The darkest version is my favorite. That was not hard to guess, it think 🙂
