Some Carpark Photo

Photographer’s Note

This photo is a bit of an experiment (again) with plenty of blown highlights and noise. For this shot I held the camera to my eye, followed the man and fired off several shots. I focused on the white arrow as it was the closest still object. I wasn't aiming for amazing sharpness, but was trying to capture the man and his surroundings with a touch of motion.

Expect more experiments over the next week or so!

Hi Will,
Love that tilt and the tones, the pose of the man is really interesting also.
I like it.

Very nice Will, looks like taken from one movie... his hand is really what makes the photo for me, nice detail, looks like his clapping the fingers while singing his favorite love song.

Hi, Will,
Arrow and the lights are excellent eye leads, together with figure, they create a lots of dynamic to your image. Excellent framing. Great job!

Hi Will,
I can say "Jinju style" what means very good style :) After seeing so many Jinju pictures with arrows it will always remind me for his works... But I didn't said that it's not original!!!
I like especially the golden tonality and tilted scene, very nice deep perspective with all the lamps leading us to the end of this corridor.
all the best,
maki

Good to see you experimenting. The composition is actually perfect as the row of lights and the line at the right line up perfectly if looking at the perspective.

Great tone as well.

Great Job.

this seems to be in the vein of the "umbrella/escalator" shot. very nice colors the graphic elements are very nice (arrow, lights, and parking spots). the figure however really brings this shot out. He seems to have a very "lightness" of being. it appears as if he is snapping and skipping or something. very nice. as if he is rising above it all.

well done

Hi Will, a touch of Jinju here, yes, but you put your own twist on it. A fine photo, no argument there, but it struck me with some force that all these "arrow shots" (and this goes for Rafal too) don't have a whole helluva lot to do with culture now, do they? And that spells one word: Treklens.
I think that's fair (and may apply to my latest upload as well, damn it!)
Just a thought...
Cheers,
Francis

Impressive shot here Will, love the metallic appearance of colour in this shot with the lights reflection, and the mans journey ahead of him as he appears to be walking while clicking his fingers. Great shot.

Well seen.

Hi Will
I think this is very creative..the tilt works well here as does the arrow following the lines of light. The colour tones, with that metalliuc warmth looks nice..And I like the body language of the man...almost carefree. Well done Will!

Angshu
