What passes for normal [New Shot]

Challenge #22 in the Creative Constraints series. Hosted by Barry Twycross.

Challenge has finished

Take a picture with a "Normal" lens. I'm defining that as a lens with a focal length of between 1 and 2 times the long side of your sensor. For full frame, that would be a focal length of 36mm to 72mm.

Wow - I like the leading lines to the lone wanderer early morning in Amsterdam Netherlands.

pocoloco

Thanks... without those lines the image wouldn't be that good.

Boy is that a good shot. Very moody, perfect winter melancholy. Somehow the tungsten lights on the right and the …LED? lights on the left go a long way toward making this photo so great. The houses offer warmth. The streetlights offer cold. The winter traveler chooses neither, and presses on.

Genuinely beautiful shot.

Thanks! And yep... those are LED lamppost... they replaced those old orange/yellow light with these white ones... it certainly helps for nightphotography :)
