Walking

Walking. Grim early evening weather has worked in my favour to increase the colour saturation of the footway, and probably clean it up as well. I was careful to be absolutely central, with only a tiny tweak in Photoshop afterwards. In fact two images – taken 2min 10sec apart – have been combined here, and the man on the right and the figure in the top right corner are in fact the same person. Hopefully there's a little more sense of movement. And, perhaps, a story.

In competition the judge suggested I might have gone down and opened the umbrella, but that would have involved four or five floors in a quite complex building, possibly a discussion with a security guard, and of course my subjects would be long gone!

Technical: NIKON D800, f=50.0 mm, ISO3200, 1/200 sec @ f5.6
