Mar 16, 2012: Consort School at night after spring shower

Taken on March 17, 2012

I headed into town as the rain was tapering off in the hopes of getting some interesting reflection shots. I completely forgot that the town in question was Consort and that any sort of 'interesting' hasn't been in vogue there since the sixties. (Note to the locals: Would it kill you to have some lights -- ANY LIGHTS -- illuminating the exterior of your buildings on main street?!?)
On the bright side, I did have a young female student call me a 'pervert' for 'videoing' the school and threaten to call the cops if I didn't leave, so I can claim to have experienced a bit of excitement while in town.
A bunch of flustered teens were bunched up inside the doors anxiously waiting for me and my little camera to skedaddle. Too bad I had to take my time. ;-)

Some teens thing a bit too highly of themselves eh?

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/lindapierson] I colour balanced for the front of the school, trying to give it the blue cast you'd get from tungsten balanced slide film. That caused the sodium vapour lamps in front of the school to shift to green, making the dead lawn look less so.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/photographi-ca] Yeah, these would be the same teens who post pics of themselves on Facebook sporting less-than-appropriate wardrobe choices, but who are paranoid they might be caught covered head to toe in winter clothing by someone else. As a matter of interest, a teen walked right through the exposure and into the school in the first shot in the HDR composite -- didn't even register as it was a 60 second exposure.
