Shooting Barrels


This is another picture taken at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. Some of you may notice the complete and utter lack of tracks, trains, and other such railroading paraphernalia. I have long ago come to the realization that while I'm trying to get a picture, while I'm trying to freeze a scene, while I'm framing to include or exclude objects to enhance my shot... the world is still going on around me! There have been a number of occasions when I, frustrated with my current scene, turned around to discover an even better scene to shoot! Perhaps it's simply paranoia but now, after taking a photo, I tend to look around to see what might have been going on while I was focused on the scene in front of me. Behind me, in this case, was an eye-catching display of light and shadow across brick and wood. As you may have noticed in my other pictures I'm a sucker for shadows, and because of them this picture, in my opinion, easily surpassed many others I took that day. Donkey Kong, eat your heart out.
