Sailors

This was taken on the walk home from work at about 19:30 last week as the sun was in a really nice and low spot in the sky creating all sorts of great long shadows as I walked. I took about four shots of some really boring subjects before this one. Finally I got to within a good distance of this group of sailors walking towards the west side of town and tried to snap it so that the leading lines on the right were in good proportion to the sailors on the left of the frame. I didn't want to get too close before taking it because I wanted those shadows to play into the photograph.

Rainbow Road

The skaters of Reykjavík have all been wearing this same uniform lately. That hat style may as well signify a gang they are in. But one thing is for sure, they are all way too good at skating for a bunch of kids that live in a city where rain is the norm. To avoid him looking as I shot this I faked shooting the road (basically pretending to be a tourist) to get the candid of this guy as he was ripping towards me at a good clip. I kind of got lucky that I still had my ISO so high from my shoot yesterday so it bumped my shutter and F-stop up and I got a crisp image.
