One Shot #8 | Dogs

We had a storm and a cold front come through today, and when I left work there was a thick fog. I could have done something interesting in the woods, but I wasn’t dressed for that, and I wanted to photograph somewhere where I could grab dinner afterwards. I decided to head downtown, thinking I might be able to shoot people walking through the fog.

It wasn’t as foggy downtown, but I quickly saw the above juxtaposition of the red Morley’s Dog and the green dresses. I had the E-PL5 and 20mm f/1.7 with me, but I had to go back to the car for the Olympus 14-42mm kit lens in order to shoot at a long enough focal length to keep the dresses prominent in the background.

Unfortunately, the shot is technically unacceptable. The statue, where I focused is unsharp, apparently due to motion blur. I’m surprised that that was the case with a 1/90 exposure time, but I guess I was hurrying in the rain.
