Joe Blevins – West Jefferson Back Alley

and the visitor walks by with barely a glance which is probably a good thing.
This series of postings has covered many different moods and locales over the months but this image is a departure from anything seen before. It’s stark, dark, high contrast and distorted, all of which helps to portray the backside which exists in every town and city.
Joe took his Canon 40d fitted with a very wide Rokinon 8mm (manual) lens into the alley running parallel to N. Jefferson Ave for an almost fisheye perspective. The hour was 5:22 in the afternoon, right after a rain. The shutter speed 1/40th second, aperture f/8 and ISO 200.
The lesson? Don’t fear experimentation with photography.

    I like the usage of B&W for this shot, and the fisheye, right after the rain, lends a dramatic mood. Well done!!
