A cold Reading morning

gubbs · February 27, 2005

I was looking for emotion shots, but the town was empty, too cold!

Don't know what I've done but the exif info doesn't seem to be coming through to smugmug at the moment.

Comments welcomed :thumb

Beautiful Gubbs! The first two really convey "the town was empty", well, almost empty.

I guess the 3rd one does too but only to someone who was there and saw no one but the Starbucks cup. I like people shots.

Nice shots Gubbs. I like the feeling you've captured in the first 2 and the 3rd is just a great shot. In #1 do you like that you framed that black iron post center of your photo?

Grubbs
#1 and 2 I like best

First I like the shadow of the man in the background
Second my eye goes to the boy then to the green window, neat looking building

Thanks
Fred

Thanks Nir, It was such a miserable morning that I nearly didn't bother going out! Comments like that make me glad I did!

Thanks Johno, The street is Union Street in Reading, known locally as "smelly alley" due to the combination of smells from the fish shop, butchers, bakery and the greengrocers.....gets pretty intense in the summer!
Thanks again

Thanks Angelo, TBH I'd prefer it if the post wasn't there at all
