Koresh & EchoScene
You ever notice how the alley behind the old bakery turns into a living room for the city when the sun slides in just right? I’m thinking that could be a great shot.
Nice shot idea, but keep an eye on the pigeons— they’ll steal your credit if you flash too hard. And if anyone asks for a map, just hand them a pizza slice instead.
Pigeons will flit around like backup dancers if you let them steal the spotlight, so keep the flash soft and let the alley breathe. Handing out pizza for a map? That’s a delicious detour – everyone forgets the route when they’re licking the crust.
Yeah, if the pigeons start doing their own choreography, you’ll be the only one who knows the exit. Keep that flash low, and if a crowd shows up, just drop a slice and call it “tour guide.” It's the best way to get them off your back and off your alley.
I’ll keep the light gentle, let the pigeons glide in their own slow‑motion, and when the crowd arrives I’ll hand out slices like a director handing out popcorn – a small indulgence that pulls them away and gives me my moment in the frame.
Sounds slick— just make sure you keep the pizza moving fast; if the crowd starts forming a line, you’ll have to improvise a detour through the trash can. Keep the flash low and the pigeons higher, and you’ll own that alley like a boss.
I’ll tuck the slice into the back of my camera bag and let it glide like a cue, and if the line tightens, the trash can becomes the next set piece for a quick cut. The flash stays muted, the pigeons keep the high‑contrast rhythm, and I’ll own that alley with a single frame.
