Challenge:On the Road (Classic Editing) Camera:Sony DSC-S85 Location: San Diego Date: Jun 7, 2002 Aperture: F4 ISO: 400 Shutter: 1/500 Date Uploaded: Jun 8, 2002
This shot was interesting to me although many of you didnt get it. A friend( on the road) and I were on a road trip and on a stop at a rest area he sat in the middle of the road looking westward toward the sun, which happen to be our final destination. Sunny cali. I thought it summed up our trip and for me perfectly fit into the challenge,.. sorry so many of you could get past the fact that he was just sitting on the road. Its quite symbolic to me. Thanks
Very contemplative. I like the long shadows. The mood of this photo is a bit like some scenes from "My Own Private Idaho". Roads are interesting, symbolic things, you used the concept well.
This is a perfectly good composition for the most part, but the lighting or brightness of this photo seems a little weak.. This looks like either early morning or late afternoon based on the length of the shadow... I'm not sure why you chose black and white... maybe color would have been better on this one?
Interesting... Very zen-like. The low sun angle adds nice strong shadows on the subject and the texture of the road as well. A look of determination on the subject's face... Staring into the sun as if to oppose it. Nice shot!
Did you try this with a car screaming down the road from behind? Good imagery (use of elements). Subject's glasses are unfortunate, but I wear them and understand issues about seeing eyes. Try it w/o the glasses, nobody else has to know he's blind. Also, the background trees appear almost black, did you want that? Did you try this from the opposite side of the road? (Just suggestions, do your own thing! It's working.) Photo 9 Creativity 7 Road 8 total 8
Looks more like a turkey than a chicken. Sorry I really tried to not say that. I voted down for the gray on gray. Black and white should have both this has tones of gray.
