Tonight I went on a photo shoot in down-town New London, CT, for a photo calling put on by Artbycamila The challenge is “Red” & “Loneliness”. I came up with an idea for the image and my friend agreed to model for me.
My plan was to have her crouched near a building, and using a long exposure, have people walking past her, showing blurred people w/ her being sharp and in focus. I wasn’t able to get the image I was after. There were not a lot of people out, like I had hoped, but I did ask a couple of guys to walk in front of the lens a couple times, but as you can see, they don’t show up in the image. I’m not sure If I need more people, or just to have them walk real slow, or do it in daylight. This is my first attempt at doing this kind of shot, and I guess I need to experiment some more 🙂 However, I am pleased with the finished image, but not sure if it will be my final submission.

I like it…I hear Semisonic’s ‘Closing Time’ as I look at your image.
oh, yeah! that’s a good one!
Hey!! I think is great!!! It does have the loneliness feeling and the right amount of red!! I like it very much!!
Thanks Camila! I was initially unhappy that the effect I was shooting for didn’t’ work out, but I am very happy w/ the image.

I think the image works well, though I would have loved to see it with the ghost images of passers-by! Great job!
Thanks! I’m anxious to try this again
