About the Photo
Most of my photography is done with a 28mm fixed lens, but recently I decided to challenge myself to see familiar surroundings from a different perspective. I purchased a 50mm fixed lens and, about two weeks ago, went to our local Main Street to take a few test photographs.

While walking, I noticed these very small metal/brass figures attached to the side of a large sign. Their tiny size against the massive structure immediately caught my attention.

The original photograph was made looking upward toward the sky, which caused the figures and structure to appear quite dark due to the exposure. During processing, corrected the exposure and converted the image to black and white. Adjusted the contrast and tonal range to bring out the texture, form, and character of the little figures.
