March 17 2005:
That Mediterranean Feeling

Only few days ago we were experiencing hail, sleet and snow. But today, wow, its been really barmy out with so many folks in tee shirts and sunglasses. Yes, spring has finally sprung and summer must be just around the corner!

I spotted this guy resting under the Tunsgate Arch in Guildford, and I thought the surrounding shapes and light reminded me of somewhere further south, perhaps Portugal.

A somewhat ‘fun’ capture did not quite make it as my Daily Photo, but instead I’ve placed in my
“Caught in the Moment” gallery.





Photoshop:
Cropped and Resized
Converted to Grayscale
Duotoned using Pantone 161C



On March 17 last year; ‘Cleaning off the Muck’

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/640s f/5.0 at 100.0mm iso200 full exif

Nice warm toning... it must be a sign that spring is on its way at last!

Wonderful feel to this image. Wasn't it a beautiful day? Too bad I was shut up in the office for most of it.

You are right, Ray.. the shapes, lighting, shadows surrounding him.. the height of the image itself.. lend an excellent feel to this candid shot.

Could really be a tourist in Lisbon! Nice idea to look for Mediterranean light in England, a PBase effect? Slug should be proud ;-)
