It is all about light! Wonderful exciting light, your imagination is challenged because of the light. Look at what you did with next to nothing, a beautiful photograph! My gosh working at that level of light and atmosphere while producing a photograph with such feeling is great! Well done. It isn't only your ability in capturing these moments, it's having the fortitude to shoot it and make something of it! Let others whine and bitch about light, that's their problem. But you sure don't need to show any concern about shooting under this low light condition. Your past couple of postings using next to nothing light levels on the street, train station and now this! Damn many on this list should be so lucky to have your talent. Take heart Daniel in knowing, though it's not the "brightest time of the year" you are making great use of whatever the light is in shooting very interesting photographs. My hope is we can cheer you on over this "darkened period" of the year. So you'll continue to illustrate even on days of fog, mist, overcast skies and next to nothing light, it's quite possible to make beautiful pictures. Keep shooting because it's such a wonderful way of teaching and showing others, lousy weather and low light doesn't mean they need sit in the house watching the stupid idiot box!! Well done mon ami! Quite frankly I find when you shoot under your light conditions it's inspiring! Makes one want to get out and have a go at it! :-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited 1817 Feltham Road Victoria BC V8N 2A4 250-477-2156
