Urban Art…

I missed the Pintura Project, an annual graffiti art event here in Orlando, Florida, but I was able to get a few shots afterwards. Very impressive urban art to be found here. The textures and colors in these walls create a dynamic composition, with unique areas that command further exploration. No fancy filters in Photoshop, just a couple of different lenses, a few creative angles and great light. The art speaks for itself – very cool…

 I used a Nikon 24-70mm lens for the first image. With the second image,  I used Nikon’s wide angle 14-24mm lens which allowed me to capture more of the surrounding area of the buildings. Tip – A low perspective worked well for the images, waiting for the best light created a more balanced overall exposure. A few foreground elements adds interest to the overall composition. Have fun shooting! ~ Deb

    Great work, Deb…your images are always so alive!! I feel like I could walk right in the scene and walk around awhile.
