Title: Nearly Closing Time
Post by: Summicron on June 16, 2009, 07:04:10 PM
I had to literally squeeze the shutter to get this shot, fortunately the camera is heavy, a lot of inertia, there's no instant return mirror to give the camera a slap, this was taken at 1/30 sec at F2. Sleety snow was descending, it was beginning to go dark and the last people were heading home from the market, when the lights came on, I didn't have a tripod with me, but decided to risk the shot anyway. The picture was taken on Burnley market, the market hall is up the steps, I use the lift just to the right.

Considering what you were up against, this is an excellent shot.   Well done!


I love the shadows and the glow of the lights.

You certainly captured the feeling of a cold wet evening.   :)

Well done.  I like the lines with the stairs and all, and the colors.
