Playing with Time and Light...

Albright Knox Art Gallery

So a few things about this photo. One is that I have shot this a few times before but since the last time have a new lens and wanted to see the difference. Another is that when I arrived at the location while there was still a small amount of light in the sky the foreground was dark...as I was using a low tripod I really wanted to highlight the pavement in the front of the image. After setting the camera and snapping a few photos I was not satisfied and about to give up. Then a car pulls up adjacent to me and leaves it's headlights on. Normally this would have really bothered me (couldn't they see me sitting on the ground in front of a camera and they pull up feet away from me?). But this time it was a blessing.
