Bus Stop

Bus Stop

The allure of shooting street is largely to do with mystery—the mystery of what I might out there, of what stories lie behind the apparent ordinariness. There's nothing quite like fog to emphasize that mystery for a photo.

Technical info: Shot with a Nikon D40 and Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G DX lens, in manual exposure mode. Aperture f/2, shutter 1/800 sec, ISO 200. Post-processing in Aperture 3: straightened and cropped; curves for exposure and contrast.

Thoughts for improvement: The palm trees sticking up over the railing make that part of the frame look a bit cluttered and draw the eye away from the intended focal point, which is the bus stop.
