On Tuesday after work, I decided to walk west across the Hawthorne Bridge. Why not, I thought, it's around 50 degrees and not raining. Little did I know that gusts of wind would buffet me every time I stopped to take a photo--I pulled up the hood on my raincoat, thankful that I had layers underneath it, a sweater set and a sweatshirt jacket. Still, I enjoyed myself quite a bit, happy for the walk and the photo opportunities. I noticed these four women running, two eastward, two westward. My hope was that no one would come around my left side and get in the way of the photo I wanted to take--this one of the four of them side-by-side. I've cropped it a bit, otherwise, it's straight out of the camera.
Here's the same photo, with a bit of fill light added. Which version do you prefer? I like the lighting in the SOOC, but I wasn't certain you'd be able to see the runners well enough, so I added the fill light at BeFunky.

I like the first one, but I always play with my shots too. I would love to run across this bridge!
I might favor the second slightly. The fill light doesn't alter the truth of the photo.
I like the first one too. It has a little more chilly feel to it.
i like them both, but the 2nd one seems a little easier to see =) and i'd like to run across the bridge too!
It's hard to pick one over the other. I like candid shots like this.
Thanks for your visit and the web sites, to read more of the short story I had posted. Makes you wonder what some monsters are thinking of. So many sick people in the world.
