One of the Guys
I posted this last night on Wordpress, but I liked the photo, so am posting it here too... but with a little extra information.
The photo was taken in Princeton, NJ after dinner with 4 of the guys from church. It started snowing that night, so naturally a snowball fight occurred between the guys. There wasn't a lot of snow on the ground, so it wasn't much of a fight. Nonetheless, it was fun to observe from the sidelines.
The shot was kind of haphazardly taken, with no flash and probably with the indoor white balance setting (forgot to change it) on a Canon point-and-shoot. I retouched it in Picasa a little bit (need to learn Photoshop/GIMP better) - converted it to B&W, cropped and softened the image. My favorite part of the picture is the light coming from the left side. It was just a glaring, yellow parking garage light, and it makes the composition a little uneven, but I like the "path" it's creating. I also like how the guys are all doing something different with their arms while walking.
Anyway, I know nearly nothing about photography, or at least not the lingo. The original post was as follows:I know that sometimes it’s dangerous for a girl to be “one of the guys.”
But sometimes, it’s just so flippin’ fun!
Plus, after all the jokes, barbs, and trash talk, they’ll still open your door and clean the snow off your car.
