Hillside Drive in The Dark

D5000-020611-030

I drove up this hillside drive in the dark and liked the view illuminated by street lights. I felt it looked better in Black and White than in the orange tint of the lights. The exposure tested the limits of the little D5000 and my steadiness. Fog sits on the ground and hangs in the air around the light, giving the effect of softness with less detail.

Looks good as a B&W, and the softness gives it a nice mood!

Rich had it right on. I could hear the detective talking to himself as he drives this road. Or a PI. haha. Linda S

Cool shot with a real "painterly" look. I like the varied areas of light and shadow - great in B/W.

Cool shot Vern, it looks like a picture from an old detective movie.
