Last Light at First Light

Cold winter morning as the golden hour approaches, this lamppost stands alone, becoming less and less necessary as the minutes pass.

Very graphic image! Like it. Anyone'd think you're a graphic designer... ;-)

This shot actually makes me laugh a bit, the subject is quite boring. I was up early before golden hour waiting for the sunrise. I was using this lamppost to test out some settings for low light exposure. If your to look at it on my monitor it is tack-sharp (doesn't look that way on FS), not sure how I pulled that off being hand held, very low light, and shivering in 22 degree weather, haha.

Well, you did a good job, Joe! It could be a studio set-up tripod shot. I think it'd be even better with the lights down a bit & left, but I guess you were concentrating on technical issues.

That pristine quality in the shot and the stark design of the lamps combine to create a curiously other-worldly look.
