Joyful Night Celebration on Urban Street Corner
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008 at 6:34:26 AM · 2008/election_day/election_day
A young woman named Penelope stands on a busy urban sidewalk late at night, smiling broadly at the camera while wearing a brown jacket with a yellow hoodie underneath and a dark red skirt with jeans. The photo was taken on November 5, 2008, suggesting this is an election night celebration following Barack Obama's historic presidential victory. Behind her, a crowd of people mills about on the sidewalk near what appears to be a restaurant or bar with festive lighting. The image was captured with a wide-angle lens (16-35mm) producing characteristic lens distortion, and the nighttime setting with artificial street lighting gives the scene a warm orange glow. Motion blur is evident throughout the image, likely due to camera movement during a slow shutter speed exposure in low light.
