December 2025 - Food Truck on the Streets of Cincinnati
About the Image(s)
This image was captured during my visit to Cincinnati in May of this year. The food truck was parked in Fountain Square in downtown Cincinnati. I arrived just after lunchtime, so the square was fairly quiet with only a few people around. The photo was taken with a Lumix G9 II and a Leica 12??“60 mm lens at 1/160 sec, f/4, ISO 200. It was later processed in Lightroom for tonal adjustment and burning and dodging with selective masks.

Amazing food truck, an example of the food culture now embraced by many cities and towns around the world. I like the creative effort placed to set up the truck, making it distinct and with character. Easy to identify in a crowd, also. Good work. Posted: 12/18/2025 07:43:13
One of those typical scenes that a photographer should look for. This is well seen Tom and well captured . Posted: 12/18/2025 18:48:15
Tom,
Food trucks make for fantastic photographic subjects, and you've definitely captured an engaging scene in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. The subject and the background work well together, creating an inviting narrative. For an even stronger composition, I suggest cropping the photo into a square format. This adjustment would allow you to position the man on the street near the right third of the frame, aligning him with the end point of a golden spiral. Similarly, placing the wheel at the bottom left third intersection would also align it with another golden spiral endpoint, enhancing the visual flow and storytelling of the image. The colors are vibrant and really bring the scene to life, so keeping the image in full color is a great choice. Overall, your processing is excellent and highlights the character of the scene beautifully.
