I happened upon this scene with the descriptive "Crime Scene" tape while riding my bike. I had the Nikon D600 and 24-120mm zoom with me. Here are a few interpretations I did of the scene.
 |
| This is a standard perspective taken with a 50mm focal length and the lens aperture wide open at f/4. The sun just peaking out from behind the sign to adds some drama to the scene and further punches the crime scene tape by back-lighting it. |
 |
| Here I went more for the immediacy of a happened-upon Instagram look. I closed in with a longer focal length, allowed the sun to flare out, and later added the light-leak streaks to the right side. |
 |
| To give the scene a more ominous look I kept the background dark and out of focus. The 24-120mm lens had a maximum aperture of f/4 which is a bit too much to make the background completely soft. To get around this limitation I moved in very close and off to the side of the sign. This put me at the minimum focus distance of this lens so I would achieve the least depth of field with only the word, "Crime", in focus. |
