Self Portrait

Went down to the train station last night to do a little scoping out of a potential location shoot. Knowing full well there wouldn't be a lot of people milling about at that time of night I'd have to be my own "human element" in the test photos. I took various shots from many viewpoints and now have a good idea about what I want for the next visit. (Mostly, I'd like some inclement weather! Is it ever going to freaking snow this year?)

Anyway, I usually don't bother showing test images, but I kinda liked this one:

Self portrait of Michael Kircher at the Kensington train station, at night.

And yes... I totally got lucky on my positioning there. But what the hell, I'll take it!

Cheers.

Chiaroscuro

A goodly amount of contrast, semi-interesting shapes, a little life and texture; photographs are found... even at a Starbucks patio.
