About the Image(s)
I'm not sure if this would be considered Cityscape or Street Photography but I thought I'd give it a try in hopes that it would be OK with all of you. And this time it's not Eastern Oregon; its on the side of the main street of my little town on the Oregon Coast. These two old guys just caught my fancy so I took the shot.
Obviously I did some serious cropping along with increasing the contrast and a little bit of color saturation. It was a mildly overcast day, so some soft light to work with. I didn't have a lot of time to work the shot as I wanted to get the image before they saw me and looked up, so I just put the camera to my eye and clicked the shutter (and right after that some other people walked by and spoiled the scene so no chance for a second try).
I took the shot with my Canon EOS 7D; EF 50mm prime lens; shutter speed 1/80; ISO 400; aperture priority with f/16.

The post processing has really helped make the picture more interesting with the cropping and color enhancement. Posted: 12/14/2024 21:38:51
IMO it just seemed like the image was too tight. I hope you don't mind I made the people co characters with the street. It was saying what is the context. With that open sign next to the open door the story becomes endless.
