Night time / is the right time



Flash portrait of Amber. After 10 minutes of washing her face out I managed to get a couple of good shots, this one being my favorite.

Not pictured: She broke my glasses.




Castillo de San Marcos. This one came out kind of gritty, which I was disappointed with. I wanted to get a sense of how massive this wall is, and wound up playing with the shadows. No flash, the light is coming from a spotlight set up on the ground against the moat wall.




This is the street between Procter Library and Ponce Hall. I got to climb up on the stone parapets facing King Street, which was a big moment for me (I like to climb).

Good: The yellow of the street lamps bring across the moody ambience of St. Augustine at 1 in the morning.

Bad: The damn lights are bright as hell and one was RIGHT IN THE WAY. I tried to get the lamp in the direct foreground as non-invasive as possible, with limited success. On the other hand, I was more interested in playing around with the vanishing point in the far background. I still like it, I just wish I could have gotten that stupid light right.
