Now that's high key!

I turned around from a mch darker shot, Bob, and saw this. I shot without changing the shutter speed just to be sure I caught something. I ended up heavily cropping this one. I took some more conventionally exposed ones, too. Maybe I'll try cropping them.

Terrific high-key shot!

Thanks, William.

I looked up “high key” because I wasn’t sure what it was. The gist of it seems to be light surrounding and illuminating the subject, usually to convey a bright happy mood. This can start to look more like “an empty white environment, where Morpheus introduced Neo to Matrix.”
It’s an interesting experiment.It gives me an impression of a city too full, too fast, oozing light everywhere. Summer in the city, and a strange downbeat mood, to my eye.

Interesting observations, Steve. I also liked how she's taking a moment to observe, Torontonians are usually determinedly about their business.

Really fascinating, John !

Thanks, Ulrich.

Das High Key lässt Ruhe einkehren.

An interesting observation, Gisela. I mentioned above that I like how the woman is taking a break (amid signs of activity, too).

omg...not Tim Hortons...we're in the middle of an 'Empire Strikes Back' moment here in Blighty!!!!

I'm waiting for Costa and Caffè Nero to show up here, Denis. Also we could use a few British sandwich shop chains.
