Jumping into the weekend 🛹

Sometimes it feels weird photographing strangers, I often wait till they’re unoccupied to approach them and ask if they want me to send them their photos

[#SNVPS @_SNVPS]

@zm260427 Most definitely, good take 💯💪

The quietest hour of the day. Dawn breaking over the coast line, right before the shadows fade

The path is paved, it’s on you to take the journey and see how far you can go 🏞️

The geometry of the descending lines made me go with black and white over color

The pillars made me think of strength and power through numbers.

The weathered overpass with the light kissing the edges makes for some good contrasting shadows, while in traffic on the I10e freeway.

Stark industrial alignment. A clean descent of electrical poles tracking from the left into the twilight gradient. Zero bleed at 100mm, shot from a moving car on the freeway.

Monochrome strips away the noise and leaves only the math.
Absolute sharpness from the fuselage rivets to the skyscraper cladding.
Pure spatial compression.

Golden hour hits different on the Eastside 🌇

Framing the LA train tracks with perfect symmetry as the sun drops over the west. Just pure orange and yellow tones

Shot at 109mm | ISO 100

Photographers, do you prefer center symmetry or rule of thirds? 👇

The city wakes up slow

A brief window where the cold morning blue meets the remaining warmth of the night. DTLA layers. 🏙️🦅

Layers in the rain 🌧️👤

Using the high contrast B&W to isolate the silhouettes and reflections against the wet pavement. Stripping the color lets the mood do the heavy lifting

Canon R1 250mm

Do you find mood easier to capture in monochrome or color?

@viewbug Thank you. I like the high contrast but wanted to try something different, see how it translates to different eyes. The R1 is my go to and the 250mm was planned as I like to get a lot of candid portraits when im traveling through downtown

[#SNVPS @_SNVPS]

Stripped the color out of this frame to let the tree shadows and tonal range do the talking. Found the perfect contrast between the whites and deep blacks 🖤🤍

Canon R1 | 250mm

Do you prefer high-contrast B&W or softer greys?

@ConradLangslow Nice, looks like a good place to photograph lots of nature. I like the grey tones on the image

[#SNVPS @_SNVPS]

@bowe_emm82410 That would be awesome. Appreciate your feedback. Thank you 🫡

@Kaarthick_04 @OPPOIndia Good contrast. What city is that pigeon from?

[#SNVPS @_SNVPS]

@JefKPhotography Good geometry. What is it?

[#SNVPS @_SNVPS]
