Shadow Play

in photofeed •  7 years ago 

This is @jrue. Drew was one of the first people who helped me get into photography (and into steemit), and since he was my roommate/housemate for around two years, we spent a lot of time together. While some of that time was spent having extensive FIFA battles (which our skill level was eerily similar) and trying to drive and crash into each other mid-air in GTA, some of that was also going around and taking pictures. These were times when I was just figuring out how to work an actual DSLR, and what all the technicalities behind manual shooting meant and how to really work the exposure triangle etc etc. Anyways, there was this night that I was driving home from work, and it was super foggy. When I got home I went inside, and jrue agreed to go outside with me to take some photos in the fog with our new cameras. We then walked around our streets in Columbus snapping photos left and right, and this was my favorite shot of the night. While there are things I would change about this photo now (such as the cars that distract), I kind of also like how he looks just like a residential creepy dude, even if I was trying to make him look like a cool guy with a camera.

He looked over his shoulder. He was still being followed. It was impossible to lose this guy. He had jumped a fence, and doubled back thinking he could shake his tail. But no luck...he was still there, almost like he knew where he'd be before he did.

@Resteem & follow done.

Wow, thank you! Honored for the resteem!

Man, I wish I could have a whole day of taking pictures outside in fog. That would be a good day.

I mean, they call it Foggy London Town for a reason right? I've never been there, but I assume they have fog all day long. I'll come with!

Genius! We can wear pocket watches... and clean chimneys... and look for the chamber of secrets... so many opportunities! Also, happy birthday! If I were in London at the time my clock says right now, it would have still been your birthday in Ohio.

Haha I can't wait!
Also.. Well, it was birthday the 11th, then my wife changed my facebook birthday to yesterday again.. But.. Yeah, thanks anyways

the exorcist the story never told ... something dark but interesting

Haha, good one! I'd watch it, especially if @jrue was the star

Main star!! : )

Home boy needs to post some more doesn't he?

True that homeslice

Right? He gets me on here, posts with me and gets me all excited, and then just leaves his personal profile all alone for months. Heart. Break.

Hi Well I think your photography skills are awesome. The moon overhead, the shadow structure and every thing is perfect in this photograph. I also think that the car added to the beauty of this photograph. Lovely picture. Thank you @aweber

Hey @wa2qr thanks for the kind words! I truly appreciate it.

PS that was a streetlight, not the moon ;)

Nice . Looks like that start of a thriller movie

It is. "@jrue's Life"

It does have a kind of thriller movie feel to it, lots of atmosphere!

Yeah, I'm just waiting for @jrue to take some acting lessons so we can get this show on the road! :)

Hahaha look forward to it!

Awesome shot man! I would totally keep the cars! For me they help set the scene and the focus is still drawn to the silhouette!

Thanks duder. Yeah, the more and more I look at it, I am glad the cars were there, even if just to emphasize it's a very residential area with @jrue just creeping about.

Definitely! Creepy AF!

This is a sick shot @aweber. Kindah creepy - like the vibe that you get from one of them thriller films. Creepy but interesting. I like how you composed this shot. I think the cars just adds a layer of dimension to the scene. Massive shout out to @jrue. I am subscribing to you both. You have my upvote today. Cheers😀👍💯

Thanks @zoh! I've had a couple people mention it looks like a shot from a thriller film. If only we can get @jrue to be the lead, we've got a film to make! Come out to Columbus and we can start! haha

Yes, Yes, Yes 👍

Joss Pic😍

I'm not sure what that means, but I'll assume that's a compliment, so thank you!
