Main Street, Huntington Beach, California.

I think I was trying to get the reflection off the window pane as well as live people. Unfortunately it appears I had a light leak or something. Took this with a P&S,...A Canon Snappy 35, with Arista EDU 400 film that I developed in Rodinal.

Ha! You'd be arrested over here walking around like that.
Great shot Brian, love the way that half naked couple are totally oblivious to the fact that they're having a piccie took.
Shame about the light leak, but I can see where you were going with this so I still applaud you for this.

 

[Hamish Gill]

That's a great shot Brian! You have to love the expression on thier faces!!
Perfect timing getting them under the American Apparel sign too!

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks Dan and Hamish. I think it was a wee bit of good luck balanced by an equal measure of bad luck that made this picture.

Excellent shot Brian - location and timing - and you could always crop to square and loose the light leak...

go on, just the one crop.... you know you want to


Lots of young ladies in bikinis wandering through down-town yesterday, but I was out shopping with swmbo and photography of such subjects wasn't going to make for a happy weekend!

Thanks Chris. Crop? What's that?

I think it's one of those small whips that jockeys use on horses.

A "riding crop"? Of course! Use the crop, go faster, take pictures faster, etc.! I get it now. Thanks, Glen!

Nice shot despite the light leak Brian. And I actually like the fact that only he (with his Oh-so-serious expression) is the only one that is reflected.

Thanks, Pete. I wasn't sure about that reflection issue--only he--whether it would be perceived as a positive or negative aspect to the image. (I'm not punning there.) I like the look on his face too. Its Terminator-esque in a way. Her on the other hand--I think she may have spotted me taking the fotie. (Either that or she fancies me. After all, what's he got that I don't have except a good tan, hair, looks, physique and youth? )
