yeah love it too, it is perfect! Great combination of stillness and movement.

Did you use any other light apart from the street light?

I didn't use any other light. This was shot against the side of an apartment building which had a fluorescent light on the side of it just out of the frame of this shot. It was shot at f/5.6 for 2.5 seconds.

Thanks for the comments!

A wonderful image, dynamic and full of tension.

I am very interested in conceptual photography. Did you think this picture would look the way it came out when you planned it?

Michael Sarver says:

@diseuse - I walked by this spot during the day and immediately had ideas running through my head for some night shots. Granted, neither of these two shots were any of my original ideas, but I think they still captured something that rings true to me. My fiance (Sara - the blurry girl) and I tried different angles and approached this location several different ways. I'm not sure I fully planned this particular shot until right before we both hopped into the frame...

But this shot definately captures the way I feel sometimes in our arguments. I turn to stone; she turns more complex...
