    Rail Session

    I was out wandering around campus the other day looking for some pictures in the spring like mid 20 degree weather. After not having too much luck and about to go back in and start studying I noticed some guys setting up to session a handrail and stayed around and shot some. Just thought they fit here better than else where and wanted to share with you all.

    Some very nice work here. It was worth being out in that balmy 20 degrees to get these. Love how you put the second one together.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    agreed. But it looks like your camera tricked you in the snow, eh? These need to be brightened up and they'll look better, but nice action.

    I really like that middle sequence.
    The way the photos echo the stair steps is cool.

    I agree they really needed more exposure, the snow fooled the meter it seems.

    Thanks all for the comments.
    I also agree on being underexposed due to the snow. This was really my first time shooting anything, (random and spur of the moment too) like this with the white snow in there to throw off the metering, and guess I just forgot about it.
    Flash wasn't really an option here being as i shot with the 70-300 and it doesn't do the 3pfs so well. But I'll keep that in mind for other stuff like this.
    I'll try my hardest to not make the same mistake again, great learning experience though.
