When we were in New York back in October, my wife and I took a day to wander the city. We started off in the West Village by grabbing a quiet little breakfast and then wandering down random streets, taking pictures of anything we thought was interesting.
There is something quite beautiful about an empty road. I loved the slight sprinkling of leaves, the bike, the shadows and the trees.
I focused on the manhole cover at f/2 to drop off focus in the background quickly.
DIG. Love the solitude in this image, usually very hard to find in NYC!
I think I need to walk around the West village next time I’m in the city. Love the DOF.
What a wonderful, wonderful shot here Mike! LOVE your composition and shallow DoF… it really creates strong drama here!
Great DoF really makes the subject
Awesome. I think I would have difficulty shooting such an empty scene and finding something nice to focus on, you nailed it.
so empty street
