The lamp post on Monroe
Another shot from the rainy evening we had back in late December. I was just hanging around this area using my 50mm to create some depth down long streets, sidewalks and walkways.
I loved how this little bricked path kind of “tunneled” itself though the trees and emerged at a lamp post/street light down the way. Some gorgeous “fall” leaves lay on the ground and the reflections from the storm added another element I dug.
I find myself fascinated with low shots like this, especially when using a 50mm or 85mm. You can get such distance when you are close to the ground, cool perspective, awesome lines and beautiful bokeh, especially when shooting wide open.

I really enjoy your B&W work, even better when it is coupled with a shot taken close to the ground. Love it man!
Love the little details all over the image
I love this photo, especially the depth that this is, how you fixed it the lanterns in the trees arc described.. Beautiful

Killer shot Mike
That framing draws you right down the street, great work Mike
Really nice image Mike, and love how the black and white fits this perfectly! Well done!
Love all the reflections of light and of course your choice of B&W treatment buddy!
Mike this is great man. I love the leaves on the ground.
Love the depth in this image! It’s so clear! Awesome shot!
Hey Mike! Again, Fantastic image! Love the B & W and the mood you captured! Thanks for sharing! Sean
Wonderful black and white treatment to a very nice composition to start with. I have shot in this same area before but don’t think I have done anything that can hold a candle to this comp.
