Seen from the distance it was rather appetizing for a capture how quickly people stepped to that big building. I guess the right side of the tower is overexposed, so I had to correct exposure a bit. Still I find it OK for posting because of the relatively good details in the shadows. Any comment would be very welcome.
Well, you gave me an idea for which I thank you very much! Indeed it would look rather special if many many more people would be heading towards the light. It could look like an exodus, really!
I must find some street with similar light conditions but with more people since on the depicted one there are always only just a few guys. But with so many streets around I am very confident that it will work in some of them.
Hi Nick, I think the over exposure in this one at the top corner is not so bad in this case. It kind of gives the look of a little exodus out of the dark into the light. That story would have worked even better if the dark streets were over crowded with people heading towards the light. Just a thought. Andre
Well yes, the low sun does illuminate faces or facades in a pleasant way, provided of course one knows how to expose exactly - which I missed here. I have to watch out a bit more for not letting the present of light be wasted. For this purpose I only have to study your images and learn from them.
The street in shadow below was indeed cold. I had to walk through it to the building at the depth every day, and I guess that this ws one of the main reasons that we were all running. We were unconsiously reducing the time on that street ;-)
Which reminds me of how brave sometimes the foto models have to be. It doesn't matter if it's cold or of it's hot, if it' dangerous or anything. The session has to deliver nice smiles and great images. Add their permanent diet and here we have a real hard job.
I always a low sun, as it gives a pleasing facial light, whether facades or human faces. I like the people walking in shadow, realizing it's colder down there.
