Umbrella Against Purple Wall - a photo on Flickriver

After much too long, I was out and about in the North End of Hamilton, Ontario, looking for subjects to capture. Accompanying me was fellow Bando de Kvar member, Matt (www.flickr.com/groups/2472126@N24/pool/ or www.instagram.com/tagg.art/ ). While wandering along James Street North, North of Barton Street, we spotted an alley sporting a yellow and orange umbrella patio set with a purple cinder block wall as a background. Some folded umbrellas sitting in deep shade came out near-black by exposing for the main umbrella and provided a classic street photography ‘V’ of light composition. The orange in the patio chairs, as well as the orange barrier in the foreground, brought the colour scheme together. Another hard-light find in the North End. - JW
