Reusel

A nearby town at a late summer evening. A little empty, maybe. I hope not too dull. The picture inspires me to experiment with vague, dark, moving people in the scene. I might get back to give it another try.

Canon F1n, 28mm, tripod, 4 sec @ F4 on Portra 160NC

@John: thanks for your comment. I was cought by the position of the seats and the nice shadows to take this picture. The shadows are from a nearby lamppost. That also gave a nice lighting on the pavement.
I used an exposure meter to measure off the pavement. That gave me the exposure time. I set my camera to that exposure in manual mode. I didn't bracket the shot because color negative film can accept quite some margin.
Greetings, Robert

I think this looks very professional Robert,strange to say, I like the way it looks deserted, also the way the seats lead the eye into the picture and the shadows of the chairs on the ground all add to the interest of the picture. They cannot seem to resist chopping trees down do they?.How did you work out the 4 second exposure, an educated guess or an exposure meter.I have a job getting to grips with those things. I could'nt help but notice how clean it all is Our town centre should be trashed for the delapidated state its in.
With kind regards.

Thanks for leaving a note!
@Jutta: there is certainly some art in the furniture as well as the tree. The sculpture was a gift to the community because they took down a very old tree to make room for the new town hall at the right side of this square.
@Anastasya: thank you, I will try to add some more (e)motion to this picture. It's so empty, that I'm not satisfied with it. Quite often the square is full of young people on skateboards. That should give more of a summer evening atmosphere.
Greetings, Robert

Hi Robert,
the way the benches are standing looks a little like modern art to me :-) I like the atmosphere of the late summer evening.
