Hi dudes. It's been like 8 years since I was taking pictures for anything more than Facebook. These are the 6 or so from the other night that really turned out maybe 50% of the way I really saw them. Please be brutal, I'm really comitted to being better. I think I had a heavy hand with the crop tool on some of these. I didn't do any major retouching, I'm a big believer in getting the shot you want right off:
This one got cropped hard. I really loved the seedy red lighting in the left hand side of the frame and I wanted THAT to be the subject, sort of.
I took like 20 like this. I couldn't capture the 'spaciousness' of the plaza. I'll go back to it.
This one was accidental- I had my WB set to FLourescent. I thought it was too blue, but I came to love the. I don't know. Intensity? There''s a kind of mystery here. It needs work, I wish the light was brighter. Longer exposure.
Another angle. Same idea- I want to come back to this. I like the lighting here better, I'm getting that weird bright/dark, mystery/industry thing, but it's not so unreal or, uh, ugly.
I like this picture a lot, I just don't know what I want it to look like. Needs work, but I'll definitely work at it.
