Ice Is Dangerous

The wicked winter winds really haven't surfaced yet. This is a throwback from a few winters ago. Fullerton is a favorite spot of mine in the winter. Fuck, Fullerton is a favorite spot of mine anytime of the year... Well, until the city cleans it up and makes it look dull and boring. The city plans on remodeling the revetment wall along the lakefront...It will look nice I'm sure, but not all things that are broken need to be fixed.

Shooting a skyline without any foreground (lakes or large bodies of water don't count) is classic and clean, but often times comes out flat and typical. By adding an interesting foreground to your skyline you're giving the viewer a POV (point-of-view) that makes them feel like they're out there with you. Or, by adding a foreground you're giving the viewer more to look at than the original skyline shot. In plain English: you've made your shot more interesting.
