Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
LIGHT CATCHER
I like walking at dusk and after the dusk to see how different places look under artificial lights. Here are two captures of the same scene, one with and one without a passing tram.

I like the one with evanescent tram, Paula. Both are gorgeous images, but the lines of tram light effectively blank out the detail of the cars.
Your combined positioning of ball and theatre is excellent.

Thanks a lot, Debbie. I prefer the first one too. The square was also filled with screaming children, cyclists and other passers-by. It was weekend around 8 pm. Long exposure took care of them 😀

My favorite is the first one too, really fascinating… 🙂

Well, admittedly I’m looking at an image on your blog , and not the original…but unless you have plans to create large size prints (and I don’t know what an image looks like large) I would think you’re fine!

Love them both, Paula, but after back and forth reflection, I think I prefer the first for most of the same reasons already stated! Love the energy of the stringed instruments in your music! 😀 Have a wonderful weekend!
