Notebooks of Scott

Sunset Station, originally uploaded by smckittr.

I have noticed, that for me, the most dramatic shots I’ve seen tend to be shots at night, in the evening, or under other such conditions where the lighting is not uniform daylight. For me the most interesting pictures involve selectively lit subjects, where only parts of the image are lit so as to effectively guide the eye to the proper place. A lit subject in a dark background also tends to be more dramatic because it seems to be emerging from the darkness.
