Along the Singel

52Frames - Week 20 - High Key

EC: SOOC

Walking along a narrow sidewalk by a canal in Amsterdam's "9 Streets" district, this colored section caught my eye in contrast with my wife's white shoes and black slacks. Due to crowds, I didn't have a lot of time to play with settings. On the 3rd exposure compensation attempt, I struck a balance between the rich color on the bricks and a blown out version.

Not the greatest of high key shots, but the intent was there and it keeps the streak alive.

Tunnel Boy

52Frames - Week 41 - High Key

My grandson, who is enamored with tunnels, scooting himself through a long tube tunnel at the pumpkin farm.

I exposed for the interior which blew out the end of the tunnel and then processed in high key b/w.
