Nice outside shot, but that second one! CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2012 #1

I love the perspective of the second shot. All the textures and colors are wonderful!

I think you had some fun today, my dear bluesbassman...

The sun was just off to the right, so the outside shot got a little saturated, but under the bridge produced a nice effect with the light coming off the water.

Cool thing is that both the bridge and the trucks are within walking distance from my house. Just goes to show that you never need to go far to find interest things to photograph!

Yes indeed, had some fun today.

Especially the second one. They both look uninviting yet, they suck you right in.
Thanks for these.

so I really just took the first one as more reference for what the subject is. The second one grabbed me, I was hoping it would come out well when I set it up. Really tricky lighting under there. Glad you liked it.

and exactly like you said the first one set me up to understand it better.
I think sometimes the additional information in multiple shots (as well illustrated in Solly Macks work recently) gives us more to interpret and a more emphatic way of being there with the photographer.
