Get Low

Najma Area Construction IV

This is a great illustration of how unnecessary are most of the things that are sold to photographers. What does sharpness have to do with this shot? What does freedom from falloff, or freedom from flare, or colour accuracy have to do with this shot? It is good to have good equipment so that its limitations don't constantly dictate to you but it is amazing how strong an image can be without most of the things that people worry so much about.

So what makes this work? A good subject, a good viewpoint (low with the cars streaking around me) and an involving composition.
