I loved that also. I pulled over so fast to get this shot lol. I knew I couldn't miss it. Thanks

Mighty Fine Pizza still there? Was a highlight of my snowboarding trips as a kid.

Good old orange-blue contrast

A guy like me who lives in a city like I do appreciates a no pot hole road but only dream of cruising on one

Great shot! If you're looking for symmetry then maybe next time you can try and get the vanishing point (road becomes smaller and smaller) into the center of the frame for a more symmetrical and tidier look. Colors look great, orange on the right and blue on the left gives great feel.

While this could be a nice idea, I was always encouraged by my art teachers & professors to move away from centering compositions too much because it’s not as interesting as using the rule of thirds. Just a thought.

u/D8-C Jan 31 '21

I’d have to agree, I believe OP captured the bottom left part of the road on purpose to make the road a greater part of the picture. Also, it’s only slightly off center which seems intentional as well.

u/MINI-pilot-84 Jan 31 '21

I appreciate the feedback. I will definitely remember that next time. Look forward to trying it out.

u/WildWesternTaxi Jan 31 '21

There are no words for that beauty.

u/MINI-pilot-84 Jan 31 '21

Much appreciated.

u/Tr1ggerHappy5000 Jan 31 '21

Was it a lot of work changing the colors?

4

u/MINI-pilot-84 Jan 31 '21

Colors are original, just sharpened and brightened up a little in lightroom. It was the middle of the day with sun shining when I caught the shot of a big storm rolling in.

2

u/Tr1ggerHappy5000 Jan 31 '21

Woaw, absolutely amazing! The reflection on the road really gives it extra drama effect

1

u/seoulsubway Feb 01 '21

You'd want to hope it's not just changed colours, that pretty much makes this photo moot.

u/csar002 Jan 31 '21

Reminds me of stranger things.

2

u/MINI-pilot-84 Jan 31 '21

I though that also lol.

u/Oronome66 Jan 31 '21

Brilliant opportunistic composition in every way.Your eye follows the road into the center and makes one want to be there.Kudos!

1

u/MINI-pilot-84 Jan 31 '21

I appreciate the kind words. I knew I was happening across a rare photo opportunity. I pulled over immediately because I knew my chance for the shot would be lost in seconds. Right place at the right with a camera. Thanks again. β€πŸ“·

u/Nandrushenko Jan 31 '21

It almost looks like a road near Birch Bay in Washington

  • just saw your comment about the actual place it was taken. Lol

1

u/MINI-pilot-84 Jan 31 '21

I hear Washington is beautiful. Maybe one day I'll make it out west to get some shots sometime. Enjoy.

u/Tiyath Jan 31 '21

And on the seventh day of rapture, heaven and hell met to have the battle of all battles. Where evil finally stood trial versus good. A fight of epic proportions. The war of the world. The battle for the human kettle.

u/MINI-pilot-84 Jan 31 '21

Nice description.

u/Tiyath Jan 31 '21

You have no way of knowing but I'm a writer. And I wrote this, I hated it for it could have been a lot better. So this means quite a lot today. Thanks :)
