Challenge: Street Photography V (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Street
Camera: Canon Powershot G11
Location: Birmingham, England
Date: Aug 21, 2012
Aperture: f/4
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/13
Date Uploaded: Aug 21, 2012

 I had no umbrella during this brief storm and was sheltering under this canal tunnel. Snapped a few people as they walked on by. I liked this one the best.

Taken during a storm shower, it was quite dark and at 800 ISO my G11 gets a little bit crude. Serves me right for wanting to be stealthy.

Gets a little crude? Bring it on, I say. This one passed me by in voting. Naughty me. Luckily I saw it in the Bling string. So well deserved.

I was one of our 10s, the Stark white to black with just enough thready image in between to tie it all together. The rails the water, it all just worked. Evokes emotion.

I like what Don said about this. And it makes me happy to see what the circumstances were allowed to reveal.

A masterful effort of technicality and good old grunge. I salute your insight with a 9.

The shot says a great deal about the photographer. In the action, in control, but not up front and center, reflective, enlightening.

One of the most authentic in the challenge - has a sense of downtrodden solitude to it.
