On Mulholland drive today

It's not every day, you find a large "D" on the hillside.

That was Hwy 1 at Half Moon Bay during the Legend of the Motorcycle Concours D'Elegance. Photo album here. Some of the better ones...

The bust was stolen. I don't remember the year, but it was gone in 1993 when I was there. The fence was not there either.

Saw a shiny tanker truck.
Saw my reflection in said truck.
Thought it would be an interesting pic.

Less light (softer light) at sunrise/sunset, maybe that will get her to open her eyes more.

Nice picture.

kachi thanks for the comment. would not shadows be a major issue early and late in the day? i struggled with shadows the whole shoot and was wishing for an assistant with reflectors to help. i can't imagine the looooong shadows i'd get early and late.

Maybe I'm thinking of twilight where it's at such a low angle it's below the trees (or buildings) and it's all indirect light.

Most digital has a problem with twilight unless you start spending money.
