So I had difficulty with this week's challenge. I originally set up this elaborate scene with Playmobil people of a restaurant robbery gone bad. After I took the photos, they look super cheesy so I killed that idea fast. I ended up with this shot of my street. It was foggy and the lamppost looked eerie in a way.
The Challenge:
Capture a photo in the film noir style. That means black and white with low-key lighting. Does it mean detectives and dames? Not necessarily. Go for the feeling and the tone, first and foremost.

My Comment:
I am not too happy with my photo this week.
I'm even less happy with the crop for the
required smaller image needed for submission.
I tried to get a shot that utilized last
night's full moon as my single source of
lighting but none of the photos came out
well. I decided to take a shot of my
neighborhood street at night with the
lamppost acting as the lighting. I like the
mood the photo sets: deserted street, dark
night, ominous mailboxes... Oh well.
