light and dark

kids activities and work are colliding making a mockery of my schedule and leaving little time for photography... this is a filler from a week ago Sunday...

thank you all for the nice comments on my dizzy shot from yesterday... it was indeed `flipped`(cos like i said, it was missing a certain something) ;p

[Caroline]

Love the contrast here. mysterious.

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

Fab and fav.

[Mac]

Well I adore the use of negative space here.

@carolinedreams tx Caroline! and yet, it is just some poor unsuspecting dude walking in the front doors of the hockey arena in the middle of a beautiful summer day (ignore the taken time - its a tad, uhm... OFF!!!!!!)... i am sure folks most wonder what the heck i`m doing when i take shots like this - but no one has ever bothered to ask or say anything...

[Caroline]

@northy light and dark contrasts make images so effective and lifts ordinary events into something more. I was walking with a friend today when i had short bursts of snapping away like a tourist if something caught my eye. She looked at me curiously but was too polite to comment.

[KWind]

Great light and silhouette.

[Kate Goring]

I am with @riverlandphotos, adore the negative space. Wonderful shot.

[Jeff Walker]

I really like your dark stuff

[Melody Tanner]

Nice shot! I love how it looks so bright outside, but the man is walking into the dark anyway...very mysterious!

[Karen H]

nice contrast and negatives

[thirtysevenways]

All that darkness and a lovely silhouette. Photo 500 as well?

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[joey d.Muli]

Dark and beautiful !:)

[jerry plume]

I know the feeling! Great little filler!

[Jani M]

Cool place for shots, you need to take a chair and sit down & snap away whenever someone passes by :)

[Spirrow]

Ah, yes, fav, thank you.

[Jocasta]

Another brilliant 'dark' photo. I love the blackness

[Endre Majoros]

Great image, but it must be viewed in large. I like the repetitive pattern of the windows broken by the man entering.

[Rachel Withey]

I love the way the lighting makes an everyday place look amazing. Great photo

[Richard]

you r da master. This is perfect

[Celi]

Nice how you've framed the subject in the light of the door. I'm loving your dark photos! You are inspiring me to try something similar.

[Chris]

Like a still from a film noir

[Edie]

Awesome shot. I love the 'moment in time' feel to it.

[Michael Elliott]

Instant Fav for me!

[Paula]

Big feeling of suspense to this shot. Nicely captured!

[beachradish]

You sure know how to work with light and contrast - fantastic, as always.

[Nancy]

Love the blackness...it makes me feel like a hot summer day and I am walking into a nice cool old building..lol! Fav for me!

[Kd Wallis]

you are amazing with the light and dark shots! this one is awesome!

[Marloes]

Beautiful darkness and effective lights.

[Johanna]

The minimalism that is born through the use of such stark contrasts - awesome!

[Humphrey Hippo]

Extreme contrast - too cool!

[beluga]

Amazing silhouette! And very good for the imagination. I really like it!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Love the strong blacks and whites.

[Amy]

Super great!

Starkly simple and great repetition and patterns

[Lisa Pouncy]

Great composition. I love how your shots allow us to make up our own story. :-)

[Simply Amanda]

Oh nice. I love this!! You rock the contrasts:). Fav!

[Dave Schofield]

Don't know how you done this but its very good.

[☠northy]

@chewyteeth tx Dave! No magic to it tho... I was inside shooting thru glass doors on a bright and sunny day... Overexposed for the outdoor light, played around in Lightroom and nik silver efex using high contrast and silhouette settings :)
