Shot February 2009 in Doha, with the 400D and 100mm, 1/30th at f/5.6 and ISO 100. 30" print.
If you don't get the title, that's fine. I'm not afraid to risk non sequitur, and like playing with its possibilities sometimes. In this case, I figure about half of viewers will at least feel the right idea, even if they can't put it into words. Which is more or less the target that I'm always shooting for. (Not "half of viewers not getting it," but rather, "viewers feeling the right idea beneath a cognitive understanding.")
And if this just seems completely bizarre, keep in mind that I'm finding enormous motivation in trying to surprise you people. ;-)
As a side note, this was from my first serious shoot with a 400D. My first one was defective, so I ended up buying a used and reliable one off exactly the same friend that I frequently visit in Doha. This shoot was its baptism of fire. It did well.
Some thoughts about shooting and the importance of peripheral vision behind the fold.
