Shanghai Street - Wednesday evening

michswiss

For some reason these shots made me think of the term Chiaroscuro. Late evening last Wednesday in Shanghai. Looking for insight and critique, especially on low light situations.

Very nice. I really like the lines in this shot (prefer the vertical version, no distractions)



Out of curiosity ... (looking at your nickname) ... are you from Switzerland / living abroad?

Thanks. I prefer the vertical version as well. I lived in Switzerland for a long while. It's a second home for me. Many, many friends there.

very interesting shot. I think you'd have to tweak greater contrast to achieve more of the "chiaroscuro" look.

I prefer the landscape orientation but prefer not to have the strolling woman in the background. You could do an overlay mask to remove her.

nice job

Oh, was just wondering ... I grew up in Switzerland. Born in Poland, but spend most of my life in Swiss'land.

Two, definitely two. Far richer, far more balanced. Nice image!
