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!
ReplyDeleteI might favor the second slightly. The fill light doesn't alter the truth of the photo.
ReplyDeleteI like the first one too. It has a little more chilly feel to it.
ReplyDeletei like them both, but the 2nd one seems a little easier to see =) and i'd like to run across the bridge too!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick one over the other. I like candid shots like this.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
