Ghost Streetcar - Any Good?
Lens: 50mm/2.8 Pentax smcm Camera: Pentax ME Photo Location: Toronto - Queens Quay ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: >6s Aperture: F8 
Posted By: David-C, 01-01-2012, 03:31 PM

Here's a pic from last week. 8 second shutter. Taken late at night. Film.

I respectfully ask for any feedback people would offer. In some ways I like this shot. In some ways I think its overexposed... Perhaps it would be better if I dropped 2 f-stops: the background would be more black and streetcar less glowing.... I dunno... Please critique.

What would you more experience photographers do differently here?

Please keep in mind this is film, so post-processing not an objective.

Thanks,
Dave

I dig it - in fact, this shot makes me think of the old series, "Twilight Zone", which the Sci Fi channel has been showing in a New Year's marathon. Nice job and Happy New Year.

Ehhh! My first thumbs-up, thanks guys.

I thought my pic was more likely to get cut-up than a thumbs up.

Incidentally, the twilight zone was amazing! So that is a tremendous compliment. This has got me thinking now: producing some 50's era sci-fi type pics. Seems tough though, I'm gonna need some props and a babe in a white bikini...

Thanks
