What do you do when it is too dark to take photos?
Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 15 June 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
Take them anyway [1]
-------------------------------------------------
Winter has fallen.
4ºC overnight brrrr.
Had to work all day in town :-(
I planned to take some photos afterwards :-)
It was cold ... rainy ... and worst of all ... too DARK!
I braced myself.
The photographer self.
"I can do this anyway.", I said.
I walked to the centre
I looked
I saw
I shot
This is something of what I saw.
---------------------------------------------------
ONE SIDE: Darth Vader comes to Earth?
FLIP SIDE: Woman walking through the park ... making her way home after work.
P.S. Thanks to Damon and Duncan for helping me think outside my square.

This, Helen, is just so FABULOUS! I love how she seems to be in the spotlight. And the tones are so great with the framing of the subject and the glint from the wet pavement... SO GREAT!!! It's like a mystery story!
