Rivertown

I like it -- selenium or not! A very interesting juxtaposition.

Thank you, DWT. It was obviously dark, I had no light with me and when I waved the humble meter towards the light on the opposite side of the river, I took a wag on how big the difference was in light. The massive, hard-edges base of the bridge framing the soft light across the river got my attention.

Rivertown is a magnificent image. I have been staring and staring at this photograph for two days now. Then, staring more at it, and then downloading a copy to my desktop to stare at it even more. I would never have seen this scene, as what got your attention, but rather taken a pedestrian photo of it during the day. I am attracted to subjects like this, but don't have the chops yet to pull it off to my satisfaction. Then, you popped up in a very positive comment to my falls images, and I was taken by surprise on my first images uploaded to APUG. Thank you. I like also very much your color version of trestle. Monochrome does not come close in my opinion, and I only shoot monochrome for all intents and purposes now. My grandfather was an ironworker, maybe why I love images of infrastructure so much.

Michael, you made my day. 'Makes all the fussing to get the shots (in the rain) worth it. The falls were your first uploads?! Holy Shiznitz. You must have yrs & yrs behind a lens. Those shots were so perfectly done they couldn't be from a new shooter. While I'm not new altogether, I'm new to MF, manual exposure reading, etc. 'Trying to break from my old habits that were fun, but hardly artistic. My artistic sense is so bad I'm not safe outside w/out my mother.
