another one for the artist challenge. this is actually a combination of some of xavier miserachs' barcelona photographs - the grittiness, the leading lines, the incorporation of signages or posters.
the camera was set to black and white and the mirror lock-up function was enabled. one discovery about this mirror lock-up: it's good for drive by's!
thank you for your kind visits and comments; they are greatly appreciated. i am aware that i'm behind yet again in commenting on yours although i try to comment on whatever i see on my home feed. too much work in the office, i'm editing an article for a magazine and i'm preparing for a big event next month as requested by the office. i'll tell you all about it when the preparations are nearing the final stage.
Nice one. I like how you played with bright and dark areas, signs, and the dark silhouette on background. I'm pleased about you've enjoyed Miserach's work and experimenting yourself with your own vision.
@ziggy77 - thank you, jo. i appreciate your stopping by.
@deburahiru - thank you, deb. please check it out, he has quite a few street shots, good for practice.
@jborrases - thank you. street shots are hard to emulate and i have a hard time doing it. for this shot, the lines above reminded me of some of miserachs' alley shots. i was going to clone out the trash bin but i thought it is what gives the photo the miserachs gritty look. thanks again, you chose a great artist.
btw, you should post a reminder in the discussion as it seems the thread got lost amidst the site's format change and the other challenges going on right now.
Well done- it definitely has the Xavier feel to it. Now that I've looked over his photos and have 3 days to find a shot, it'll be pulling out the creative stops to find one I can put my twist on. Wish I'd seen them before I went shopping yesterday!
