Why Just There?

Truck was in really good condition, except for this...hence the title.

Experiments with some f4.0 shooting between 28-70mm while considering a new 20mm-70mm lens.  Didn't learn too much from this shot, but liked it anyway.

C.London52w7 - High Key

From the C.London website: "High Key photography refers to images in which the shadows are bright to non-existent. High key photos are very bright and often have an airy or ethereal feeling. They may also be just bright and stark. Using either artificial or natural light, make a high key photograph."

With single digit temperatures and snowing, I had an idea for shooting a high key image that included a colorful wall mural with a snow-covered foreground.  High key images don’t typically have pops of color, however I wanted to break that rule.  Unfortunately, the building was in the midst of demolition so no mural available!  As I drove around in search of other shots consistent with my intent, my eye caught the repetition of red.

As a fallback, I also shot a more traditional high key image that I’ll post as an alternate.
