Camaro Rear View

The beauty of car shows is that they are well lit because the vendors want people to see and admire their wares. But shooting in auditoriums etc is where the 5D is really a blessing. Even at ISO 1600 the noise is relatively low. But a faster lens than an f/4.0 is certainly in order. The 50mm f/1.4 does the job. f/2.8 lenses, such as the 24-70mm f/2.8, in such circumstances feel slow. Looks like you had fun there.

This is a pretty remarkable image without the overlays... The exposure is spot on, for my taste that is. And it is a socially interesting composition with a spark to it - even though it is an everyday view. ETA that I think the anonymity you preserved by silhouettes and partial views of such a good number of people adds greatly to this photo.

Sun Go Down

Red sun go down way over dirty town
Starling are sweeping around crazy shoals
A girl is there high heeling across the square
Wind blows around in her hair and the flags upon the poles
Waiting in the crowd to cross at the light
She looks around to find a face she can like.
-- Mark Knopfler, Dire Straits, 1978

It's funny how one immediately knows this is a reflection - despite the original building not being in the frame.

I'm learning from your photo - this and the bw entry. The bw edition is certainly more complimentary from the model's point of view. I think what I am learning about is positioning of the lights, proximal and distal, near and far, and the background distance. Also I might be understanding the use of flagging - light blocking. Thanks for the tuition...

Perfect timing with regard to the light, the early leaf fall, and the still green grass. VT is indeed a lovely place.

For the creamy acrylic paint effect, the subtle light, and the simplistic composition, you get my top vote. 9.

Yours is a creative interpretation of the challenge theme. Incidentally, lights reflects that way. Not bad timing on the ball.

As a parent of two sometimes slow eating children, I can certainly understand this photo. IMO it is a very good depiction for this challenge.
