Critique Welcomed Pre-nup Photo Shoot

[Brian Moore]

In Long Beach a few weeks ago I came across this photo shoot on the bridge that connects Shoreline Village with "The Pike."

It was a very slow shutter speed, probably 1/15th or maybe even 1/8th. I took two shots hand held. The first was a little blurry but this one was a bit better.

Olympus OM-2N, Zuiko 50/1.8 and Kodak Ultramax 400 film.

Edit: I see now that I was so intent on getting the couple dead center that I missed out on the symmetry of the bridge!

Nice though and I like the mixed lighting.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks, Pete!

Symmetry is fine Brian. I don't know why the guy in shorts it looked as if he was doing a hand stand at first. I like the scene something nice and
normal about it, definitely gives of those vibes of an evening on the street, the empty spaces between people and groups.

Thank you very much, Julian. I appreciate your observations.
