black & white

Fun Girl

A perfect example of how depth of field can completely make a background become insignificant.  The statue is clearly the dominant figure in this photo.  Having a fast lens allows this to happen.

Shape Contrast

I've wrote before  (in the previous version of danrusso.com) about happy accidents.  I say embrace accidents.  While wondering near some construction, I spied a pigeon walking out of the darkness into the light.  I took a couple of photographs of the pigeon, then realized exactly what the pigeon was walking into.  A mosaic of shapes caused by light, shadow and tile.  I re-focused my lens and framed up the shot.  In the end, I captured the below photo.  As far as the pigeon... idk another day I suppose.
