my glass i: The Park Bench Cafe

[Brian Moore]

Huntington Beach, California.

I like how the Park Bench Cafe is illuminated in the evening so I decided to try to capture it one night. I had no tripod with me to steady the camera so I used the back of a bench--a park bench, of all things! The composition of the shot was dictated somewhat by the restrictions inherent in the use of a park bench tripod. (Not easily swiveled or adjusted for angle.)

So what you're really saying is that you were slumped on a park bench and this is what you came up with!

Nice shot though and I like the fact that it's alone in the dark, as it were.

Busted!

LOL, Pete! Yeah, that was it.

Thanks.

Bloody park bench makers ... dont think about us photogs do they!?
nice shot, touch straighter and some dodgy looking people loitering would make it win more for me
I find it hard to comment critically in anyway when it comes to your shots ... it just doesnt feel right ...
