Ice Rink, Justin Herman Plaza, San Francisco
|
Like an airplane sailing through red lights
|
Expert skater passes all
|
Boy acts uncertain
|
Brief conference in the center
|
The Embarcadero Center towers over the skaters
|
A leap barely at the edge of light
|
Brilliant escape from the shadow folk
|
Just saw, and really liked [this shot].
Not just because of all the nighttime detail you get from HDR. Not
just the interesting surroundings of Justin Herman Plaza with it's
ice rink (eat your heart out Rockefeller Plaza!). Nor the fine
composition. But the multiple and differently exposed skaters give it
a dynamic I've never seen before. Sure, translucent and ghost like
multiple exposures I've seen... The skaters balanced against the
solid and immutable observers outside the rink is nicely expressive
and captures the contrast of the moment(s) beautifully. But, the
differing exposures give it a lyrical and festive quality I never
expected.
Kool!
