Default Lucky Number 3.

M8 with 35mm
Taken near the closing days of Bay Meadows Race Track (about to be torn down for condo development) , where Seabiscuit got his start.
Thought the area in this betting parlor had sort of a Cape Canaveral-Kennedy Space Center feel about it.

That really does have a Cape Canaveral look about it. Great graphic. The people look 3D with the lighting coming from below them.

Very spacey indeed. It turns on the imagination & makes me think the people in the foreground are programming the TV images!

Houston, we have a problem...but not with this image :-)

Great capture on what surely would amount to a tricky lighting situation.

Cool colors & lighting. Glad to see you take a step into this century, even if it's just for such a moment. Much enjoyed.

William -

Superb in concept, execution, composition, light (especially the rim light), color, selective focus and 3-D effect. Photos are permitted there?

Stuart, I'm not sure. Like you, I have a tendency to shoot and ask questions later. Thank you.

Default AW: Lucky Number 3.

The artificial lighting really does it. Excellent capture of the atmosphere.
