dreams and nightmares - no. 2


stop





Dear Sheddists,

here's the second of my 365 photos project.

I wanted to create an ambiguous scene, something capable of asking questions of the viewer, such as ...

Has the man parked the car or crashed?
Where has he come from and where is he going?
Is this the scene of a crime?

I used a combination of artificial lighting for the shot - the internal lights of the car, its headlights and a security light at the front of the house.  The camera was mounted on a tripod with a long exposure and a timing setting.

In some ways it reminds me a little of the work of Weegee an American press photographer of the 1930s and 1940s who specialised in scenes of urban life, crime, injury and death.

Again, to illustrate the creative process I'm also showing some other shots I took on the night using motion blur to create a more ghost-like feeling.

Yours as ever,

electrofried(mr)
