I will run away from noting
Unless of course, I'm being chased...



*****

One of my favourite motives. The classic shadow and light technique.
I always shoot shadow shots about two hours to sunset, when the light is still strong, but the angle of the sun creates a very long shadow.

I love the film noir atmosphere in this one.

It was taken from a tall building in middle Tel-Aviv.
I focsed on the crossing, that reflected the sun, and was the grighest thing on the street.
The light metering allowed me to emphesize the contrast of light and dark contrast.
The girl was running through the crossing, so I used the highest shutter speed to freeze her running, and get this under-exposed frame.
I was very lucky to get this perfect timing.

Look at this in FULL VIEW
You may see it differntly once you realize more than the obvies.

the perspective of the shadow brings up a little confusion to the viewer..

un buen trabajo, me gusta el blanco y negro que se maneja en la foto, junto con el juego de sombras tan excepcional que trae... buena foto y ciertamente fuiste muy afortunado de captar ese momento.

Tuve que buscar para la traducción, pero la valió:)

Lovely that you can't tell which is real, and which is the shadow!

Really thought-provoking.

Your photographs make me want to visit Tel-Aviv!

ooh I like this! It looks like it could be a number of different things. I can't decide which I want it to be :giggle:

amazing, as always. :) The diagonal-edged lines make it seem like she's climbing a flight of two-dimensional steps. is that a pedestrian lane?

You make very good use of black-and-white here, Gilad. I really like it. It somehow strikes fear in me. Maybe it's just me. But this is a pretty creepy picture.
