18-OCT-04--STUDY IN GREY

This is just a skylight in MacArthur Center Shopping Mall in downtown Norfolk
It's a high-end, high-class mall . . .
I just go there to take pictures =]
I just liked how it looked in B&W with all the shades of grey from black to white

Olympus C-740UZ
skylight aperture priority; f 3.5; 1/400;ISO 100; 17:52:57 rush hour full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Cool shot! I like the geometry and the shadows. (like that's a surprise...not!) So - in this private high-end mall... did you get chased off by the security guards? It's happened to me so much that I'm very cagey now in semi-public spaces. Case the joint, assess the quality and frequency of patrols, plan the shot, get a couple of exposures, then dash... I feel like a criminal in my own country!

Awesome eye, nice blend of tones, lines and shapes. My brother and his wife shopped here while on vacation with us there last week, I opted out to go to Williamsburg. I love it there. Sorry I missed your message before I went to the beach on Sat. I didn't get there til later that night, around 8pm. I hated to leave.

Thanks Russ . . . mathematically, it might have that touch . . but I certainly need more weird bugs and caterpillars!! LOL!

And zymans . . they're on the floor giving me weird looks as I point the camera upwards . . . HA!! (that conjurs up a weird mental image, eh!)
Guest 19-Oct-2004 01:17
