    Re: Hit and Run

    Hmm. Getting there. I think it needs something else though, just a prop or two more.

    Re: Hit and Run

    We had one of Bob's barricades in our college apartment. Never thought to name him...

    I like this, but I wonder, as I often do if a different point of view would be in order. Lower, maybe even on the ground with a wide-angle....

    Re: Hit and Run

    Thanks GB I kind of agree. I had a tire tool with me and thought of using it. Someone suggested a cup of Dunkin Doughnuts coffee.
    Lava, Bob's baricades, is that what it is called? Nobody has been able to tell me what these things are called. I didn't go lower because I would have lost the angle on the manhole.

    Apparently, it is a "Type II Barricade." Who knew?

    Maybe if you'd dropped the hat in upside-down it would add some more drama to the shot. fun series though.

    Re: Hit and Run

    I've looked at this several times and my first impression was that it has great light and focus and all that but isn't messy enough for a hit and run.
    This morning I finally spotted the gloves sticking out of the manhole. That small detail cinches it for me and I'll try to be more scrutinous from now on.

    p.s my wife says scruitinous isn't a word and I should say more scrutinizing.
    Keep Shooting!
