How quick a little rain can clear the streets.

Taken in a Loughborough backstreet.

Handheld long exposure to create the anonymity in the character.

[Brigette]

this is eerie...

[Vega]

reminds me of an old David Bowie music record album 100 years ago. - like your technique

[Sean O'Neill]

@vega It is a line stolen from a Billy Bragg song. Thank you.

[Sheralee S]

I really like this Sean!

[KWind]

Love the blur... very effective!

[Rachel Withey]

Love this. Looks like a still from an old film.

[Andreas]

Very cool cinematic scene. The blur is as already said very effective. I see your X-Pro put you in the street to shot. I like it. Looking forward to see more of street-Sean. Fav!!! Btw. I won an M8 on ebay yesterday... I wasn't supposed to buy any cameras this year, well now the Nikon have to go.

[Sean O'Neill]

@primitiveprobe now it's my turn to be green with envy!! I look forward very much to seeing what you achieve with it. Can't wait!!

[Shanne]

very cinematic - great blur and reflections

[Annie D]

wow! i love the atmoshere of this image -very Jack the Ripper hahahaha

[David H.]

God I love the gritty feel to this and it's so intriguing you just want to know who the figure is and what their intentions are. I would have never thought to shoot this scene this way. I love it, thank you for reminding to step out of my comfort zone.
Gushing over.
Fav by the way

[Sean O'Neill]

@hasselhotch thank you David, I'm delighted to read your response. I was worried that folk wouldn't get this, so I'm made up that you have. One or two others may make my other albums over the next few days.

[Stuey]

Excellent work. The scene works so well for the technique you described. Wonderful

[Trevor]

Great capture Sean. Reminds me a bit of the front cover of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders from Mars.

[Taffy]

What a fabulous effect! Very mysterious.

[dh (delena)]

I love the atmosphere you've created here. The faceless figure looks quite sinister.

[Lisa Poland]

Very mysterious! Great job!

[Judith Johnson]

Looks almost spooky, and film like.

[Danny G.]

Cool and mysterious

[Chris]

Am enjoying your photo tour, Sean. Keep them coming.

[Daryl O'Hare]

I like the choice of handheld in this instance as it does create the feel you were trying to get.

[Claire]

Oh love this. Fav.

[Penny Milner]

Love this as well fav

[☠northy]

wonderfully moody and intriguing... love this kind of thing! fav!

[Call me Joe]

love it !!

[Ivan]

Great mono backstreet image.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

This has that unsettling feel to it that walking along a quiet street late at night brings when you see someone, especially if they're just standing there like this someone is.
