I'm happy with a new series of pics I took this past weekend, and am specially happy with this one:



I like how the floor dominates the foreground, until one notices the janitor on the upper right...

I'm also happy with this one:

Thanks... yeah I'm surprised that many people gravitate towards that one.

It's extremely simple, empty... but I guess that's the draw.

Great pattern and reflections in the first one, to state the obvious.
Does your job get out at a time when no-one is around - after the action, so to speak; or do you go after these types of photos in particular?

Great quality to each one in the series. Would love to know the settings though :)

I definitely went after these images. I knew what to expect, so I had an idea of what I wanted. Unfortunately I didn't get the image that I really wanted. There was this great character-type old man on one of the benches, reading a book, with a suit case next to him. I approached him to ask him if I could photograph him, but he immediately refused and I could tell that he would much rather be left alone. So, I apologized, and didn't take the pic. I felt that it was the right thing to ask permission first, rather than snapping the shot. Besides, I would've needed his cooperation, too; since the images all used long exposures.

Thanks for the comment.

All shots were taken with a 17-40 f/4, at f/16. I also set my camera to noise reduction, high saturation, and high sharp setting. In PS I adjusted levels, saturation, bright/contrast.

Thanks for the info. I wanted to know because that's how I learn :D
Cheers

Absolutely, me too. I'm a fan of your work, by the way -- awesome shots.

I always feel like this is the case. There are some shots I'd love to have taken, but feel unsure about the comfortability (real word?) of the subject.

I'm a great fan of powerful photo-journalism type images, but I know that in many cases, the intrusion required to take them myself would make me very uneasy. Not completely applicable to what you are saying, but you get my point.
