Photo Print: Tangles by Paulo Abrantes

This is a shot made in Aveiro City´s main train station. I am a regular user of the place and I knew already and I had seen before the amazing light effects made by the architecture of the building in those light conditions - very sunny days with the sun light in the precise position to enter inside the buiding. The tactics to shoot the place with those light conditions begins to arrive there early and wait in the spot for the sun light to achieve the right angle. After that it´s an amazing "light show" because the "rotation of the sun" each 5 minutes gives different light and shadow shapes and multiple composition solutions. In fact, because I was there shooting street and non staged pictures if the person/stranger didn´t came inside de frame and took a little longer to pass by, the composition that I had in mind "was gone" because the sun "moved" and the composition I had in mind was "gone" and the shadow/light play suddenly also changed completely. I´ve done this series of shots in three weekends, and they are from the north and south main entries, because they are similar but they made opposite light effects at the same hour.
