Naught Night Noir

[Shadowman]

I rarely comment on street shots. This one is cool. Interesting how much light the screen throws on the lady's face. The only one of the bright lights in BG that I find distracting is the one up and to the right. The others are close enough to the subjects face that they actually lead my eye to her.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for commenting.

John,
I can certainly see your point and was tossed up whether or not to mention that light.
How did you establish the exposure for this shot? It is really cool!

Hi Richard,

Usually I am a hasty street photography shooter, rarely do I sit for long periods of time waiting for something to happen. On this particular night I was testing out a lens (85mm) for architectural shots so the settings were established to try and control the intensity of building lights and capturing a decent looking sky. This shot was taken around 7:15 during winter, when I saw the woman approach the curb the only thing I adjusted was switching to handholding from shooting on a solid surface; I was able to get about three captures before she moved on. Thanks for comments.

If it was winter and she was wearing Jandals (flip-flops or thongs if you will) she was probably a Kiwi. We wear them in sub-zero temperatures!

+1 to all the positive comments. As far as the discussion on the lights in the background, I agree with Dan.

Hi Trev,

It was winter but in the southern states, thanks for viewing.

Ah yes, the flip flop. I think I'll continue to imagine her without them.
