not Abbey Road by northy

not Abbey Road

there are days when the quality of light streaming down the street is fantabulous :)

(the rimlights are rather nice when largified)

a fourth run at a chess shot i've been trying to pull together in my other album:

thanks everyone for the continued views, comments and favs... i have once again fallen behind in commenting back... i'm going to take a run at getting caught up tonight, but it will likely be several days before i can feel confident about being on top of things :(
Wonderful capture and great title.

Great b&w

I've got to look at the shadows to see where the light is coming from! Seems to be from above as well as the oncoming car lights! Great scene!
September 12th, 2013  
It's brilliant viewed large! Great detail and lights.
September 12th, 2013  
The light is fantabulous! Super capture and processing. Love that title,too!
September 12th, 2013

September 12th, 2013  
I love all the little flares and the overall lighting. You've probably noticed I've been learning from you!

@taffy yep! congrats on making the top 5 for voting this week's theme :D
September 12th, 2013  
this is really quite excellent and wonderful viewed large! fav! would love a print of this!
September 12th, 2013  
@northy Really, I owe so much of that to following your work and pushing myself to learn about b&w which I've always loved, but haven't ever tackled seriously. Your work is creative and interesting, as well as technically so strong. Anyway, thanks!

oh yes, this is brilliant. Fav for sure. BTW, do you hang out at the same place for longer times ? I don't have the patience for it, I just wish I get lucky if I see light like this...
September 12th, 2013  
What wonderful light. Lovely shot.
September 12th, 2013  
What a fun street shot. Great in B&W too, good choice.
September 12th, 2013  
Beautiful light in this

Great shot - love the light on the windows of the coach and bouncing off the car roofs and, as you say, the rimlight on the figures at the front.

Hey, we all seem to be in the same boat re. the commenting thing. It's a never ending battle isn't it! This is just awesome. Absolutely great biggened. They look as if they're hovering just above the ground. Fav xx

Neat scene with excellent lighting.
September 12th, 2013  
Perfect light and spacing.

Hubby walked by as I pulled up your pic and said "Wow, great take on Abbey Road!" before he even saw the title! So then I was trying to think of some pithy comment that would include titles form the album but they all seem a bit contrived, so I'll just tell you I think this is an excellent shot all the way around, am amazed you captured it (timing is everything or you are extremely patient at street corners), and have added it to my favs! Excellent shot!

@janim i rarely have more than 5 or 10 minutes max... this is a stretch of road right outside the office building where i work... the sequence of the street lights is such that there are often stretches of time when there are no cars on this patch of road (which is wonderful for dashing across the street to starbucks ;p)... at certain times of the year the late afternoon light is scrumptious... every day it's like this after work i take a few minutes to shoot... some days i get something worth posting, some days i don't...
September 13th, 2013  
Wow! Another awesome street shot. LOve it. fav.
September 13th, 2013  
Brilliant shot,; love the strong contrast and rim lights. I think this kind of street shot bears your signature style.
September 13th, 2013  
Great capture and a fav for me too!

Fabulous contrasts and use of light and shadow.
