17th Avenue: Neon and Shadows


Denver residents enjoy the warm evening of Friday 25 May 2007, first evening of the Memorial Day weekend. After a long hard week, there is no better place to find a yuppy tavern in Capitol Hill than on 17th Avenue, which offers several blocks of trendy venues.
I set my camera on "Night Landscape" mode to capture the bright colors and warm glow of the restaurant windows, using a tripod and a two-second timer to keep the images as tack-sharp as possible. One may see the strange side-effects of keeping the shutter wide open: neon flare with plenty of moving shadows and ghosts.
