I had a challenge exposing for the foreground that was the lamp post, because I'd wanted to include the interesting clouds in the sky. Finally, gave up and just composed my shot with the lamp post, totally excluding the clouds, since they were getting blown out and the light was failing really fast.
Looking at this image makes me think like someone is towering over me and saying "I told you about the feet, didn't I?" (King Julian-style, in the movie Madagascar).
The image below was the only shot of the car I could get, because I was afraid someone might tell me off for photographing their car. But I really like the reflection, and I managed to sneak a shot. It didn't turn out too bad considering I had only the one chance.
The last ones here are not well composed at all! I turned around at one point and saw the sky turning this incredible colour and I was in the thick of a residential neighbourhood. I tried to get to the river side as fast as I could, because I knew that's where I would find all the colours, but I was on the east side of the island, and it would take me a good 20 min. brisk walking to get to the other side. So, just to be able to record the colours, I shot into thin air, not caring about anything but the sky. So here's the series almost SOOC, except for a little saturation and a crop in a couple of them.
nice sky shots, yeah sometimes I'm scared to photograph things that belong to other people, so I know how you feel. One time I had to sneak behind a lamp post and take photographs of some important business men and secruity guards for an article in a newspaper, so its a tough call but you gotta do what you gotta do, if it hits you you have to follow it

@Elsa: I agree - you gotta do what you gotta do. It's not like you'll get "the" shot again.
ReplyDelete@Cathy: Thank you. And long zoom lenses are really handy. I love mine!
