I thought today would be a perfect day to go on a photo walk. So took the camera, tripod, and was out to take some snow photos. Last year, at the same spot where I took this photo, I saw the same scene and in excitement, I screamed, Oh! Look at that. Ill take a picture of it later. And, as usual, my friends started laughing because they thought I was crazy. I didnt say anything, today was the perfect opportunity to show them what I was talking about that day. So, this photo is dedicated to all my crew members. Canon 30D | Exposure: 1/30 | Aperture: f/3.5 | ISO: 800My version of The Flatiron, by Sharad Patel I was literally sitting on 18 inch snow, and people were like, is this guy crazy? I didnt care. Couple of them came up to me and were like, What are you doing? I said, this is a camera and Im trying to take a picture. But the weird look they gave was funny! It was a nightmare to do this photo walk. Camera wouldnt focus, by the time I focused, there would be snow on the lens etc etc. The reason I gave My version of The Flatiron the title because it kinda resembles to Edward Stiechens The Flatiron photograph. Of course, Im not trying to copy him, but just thought of this title as soon as I took this photo. Also, reminds me of the concept of Pre-visualization where the photographer visualizes the scene before he takes the photo. Adopted by a lot of legendary photographers, like the one and one, and my most favorite - Henri Cartier Bresson, and also many other photographers today. Also, if you notice, theres the tripod on bottom left. I was too lazy to go down there, remove the tripod, and take the photo. So, I just kept it there to give a dramatic effect. lightandcomposition/photo-of-the-day-march-09-my-version-of-the-flatiron-by-sharad-patel/
