I live just outside Providence, RI. I shoot there often, usually downtown or the college hill section. This past Saturday night, I teamed up with 2 photographer buddies and we headed out into the cold with our gear to a different part of town. Here are a few of what I got that night. Comments and suggestions welcomed. Thanks for looking!

    Wow

    Definitely different. I like the concept here. For me these are almost bordering abstract. #1 really like the left side of the frame but not real keen on the severe distortion of the buildings on the right side.
    #2 Like the composition but the purple tint isn't doing it for me.
    #3 Very cool I just wish the foreground sculpture was a little smaller or possibly shooting it at a lower angle the the ground.
    #4 Love the v composition very striking but I think if possible I would have cropped out the foreground snow and barrier right up to the road.
    #5 Awesome that is a killer love that. I think you could even consider that a "low Key" image just fantastic.
    These all look like they were a lot of fun to shoot very nice work Bryan

    Nice work. # 2 is very good, # 5 is exceptionally striking.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
