Washed your undies?

Description


Are things really that bad?
When was the last time you washed your undies?
Do you really have to wait for the writing on the wall?

so this photo contains:

a stencil graffiti which is meant to have a political message.

a man walking by.

vision: most people would notice the graffiti. it doesn't take someone with a good eye to "see" that.

originality: taking a photo of the paint on the wall itself would probably work as a repro for flyers or simply to spread the message of the artwork in the internet. so let's be original and wait for someone to pass by. original enough ? i don't think so.

technique: reading the exif: iso4000, 1/6000th shutter speed at f4.0 67mm

i can't see the reason for the extremly high iso. it's not that the noise would add to the photo after all.

1/6000th. 1/250th is enough to "freeze" a moment, even 1/125 would be. so that's obviously because the iso was set way too high (by accident i guess).

f4.067mm. i guess this was a zoom lens. probably 24-70 2.8L canon. could be wrong. does it matter ?

so.. why 67mm ? to crop the mans feet ? not a good idea i think. why not go wide ?

impact: well.. even if there was some sort of impact by the sprayed artwork on the wall... it'd be someone else's achievement.
