 "Remember how she said,
That we would meet again,
Some sunny day.
Vera!
Vera!
What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?"

Alright, got here to shoot at 5:20PM. The sun goes down at 4:45 this time of year. We were shooting in pitch black - the camera wouldn't even focus without using a flashlight. This exposure was 10 seconds. Out of 8 I took, there are only two without some slight motion blur. I did my best but I know many things could be fixed. Ah, for advanced editing. I was going more for the emotion of Pink Flyod rather than a literal representation. Vera Lynn was an 'ideal' in Pink's head but, as he discovered, things aren't always as they seem. In real life, Vera probably was but this isn't real life. I enjoyed this and have convinced my son to go back when there is light so I can shoot properly. For those than can see beyond the imperfections, great! For those who want something pretty, Pink Floyd was never pretty. Think you have the wrong tree.

This is creepy. There are some locales around my area that look like this, I have lots of photos from there, but none with models this creepy looking. This is a song that I'm familiar with, but this image is a first! Coming from a Pink Floyd fan.

Great shot. Gave this a 9. Thought I might recognize that hair. I love the mood, the mask, the location. So when can I come to these great places and model for you?

Wow, this is spooky. Great scene, and figure in gas mask adds, though I'd like to see him a bit more clearly. This one ranks high on the creativity scale and excellent composition. 9.
