Day 050 - Sam's Smoke Break

Day 2 at The O2 arena and I had hardly any time to take a picture today. The light from the late afternoon sun comes through the opening to 'the dome' where the trucks drive through. I was standing on the back tail-lift of one of our trucks and saw this light and the idea for this shot immediately popped into my head.

I said to Sam - from yesterday's shot, my colleague in the camera department - what I wanted and he gladly obliged in being my walking model for it.

This is almost SOTC but not quite...a minor tweak in curves and sharpening and here it is.

Great shot with little time. Love the shadows and lines.

[Florence]

Great light, very nice composition, and Sam who's becoming more famous every day! By next week he will probably refuse to do that for free :)

[Linda]

Lovely tones and long shadow. Sam looks very much at home in your photos.

@spair @florrie @happysnap Thank you all. And yes Sam quite liked the previous two days pictures but I did assure him there would be no fee payable :)

[Gail]

I like Sam! People that are so obliging are a photographer's best friend. ;-)

Love this shot!.. He's walking right off the page and it's perfectly compositioned. FAV!

@gailmmeek Thank you :) He was asking for a fee. He may have to be replaced :)

[Gail]

@stevecameras Hmmmm..... that's no good! Don't like him anymore!
