red light Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

on my way to school yesterday.
as usually, the sky had a dirty tone of blue, so i decided to desaturate everything but the red lights. please tell me what you think.

i played heavily with brightness/contrast, cropped to align the borders, blurred the background, resized, added frame.

Realmente só vc mesmo para tirar boas fotos aonde ninguém ousaria muito... Talvez isso asonteça porque vc consegue ver beleza numa cidade aonde, por vezes isso é difícil de se ver...
Parabéns por mais esta interessante composição !

Hi Isabel :-) You switch modes without effort! This could be a poster of a Roadmovie, very cinematographic (if you could say that of a still ;-)
Maybe you could try to make the highlight in the taillight a bit less strong (perhaps use the hue of the sky?)
I like this three tone shot a lot!

É uma foto de muita ousadia e muito bem captada pela sua lente. Gostei do detalhe do semaforo tambem estar vermelho. Parabéns.

It is a photo of much ousadia and very caught well by its lens. I liked it detail it semaforo also too be red. Congratulations.

Isabel, this is very impressive, very good street capture. The relation between the various red lights are strong.
I guess that you added the blur in Photoshop but it works great anyway, I value the finished product! What's with the 20-30-40 numbers, I really can't figure it out, are they real?

Excellent work, Isabelle. A very good secision to desaturate everythink but the light, it makes everything look so dramatic. Very good DOF. Well done.

Isabel, first of all, I apologise for not being faithfull and not being able to comment most of your pictures, shame on me, nevertheless, you keep the high level of your snaps... I loved that one, and as Jhonny says, you do miracles with things and themes, that only a few (like yourself)may see what a thousand usually miss. Sharp eyes of yours!!!

I really like this photo Isabel. You have taken a scene from everyday life and transformed into art. This is not easy to do. The desaturation color/BW is very effective. Great perspective. Well done!

Bel,
Interessante como o vermelho inibio p restante das cores, como se esivesse tomando conta da parada. Cheira urbanidade sua fotografia.

Abraço
