    Scene V without the Trolley

    I found myself with a few extra moments this morning, so here is the Trolley depot shot without the train and the harsh lights. Does that improve the shot?

    To be honest, I actually think that having the train in this shot would add visual interest. Somehow I wonder if a combination of your two shots would make for a stunning single shot. hehe.

    As for which one I like better, I am not sure yet. But good job nontheless!

    I prefer this one. Great shot. Did you use a tripod? It just seems like a place that a tripod would really stand out.

    I prefer the shot with the Trolley; while the lights are harsh I think it adds to the scene. Yes, I did use a tripod. In fact, I used a tripod for all five Scenes. It did stand out and people were asking me what I was doing, etc. Other photographers stopped to talk, it was a great time.

    Glad you had fun. I have yet to have anyone understand what I was doing when I'm taking shots in places like this. Keep up the nice work.

    Re: Scene V without the Trolley

    The photographers understand, they ask good questions or strike up a conversation about f-stops, time, etc. You are correct however, most people have no clue but are curious just the same.

    I am heading up to Los Angeles for a couple of days to have a look around places I have never been. Looking forward to that. I'll post if I get anything worth sharing.

    Thanks for the comments.
