Description
Washington, D.C.I took this piece using an infrared converted Canon 40D (590nm) and a lensbaby composer pro with the sweet 35 optic.
While it looks as if the people are wearing (superhero) capes, they were actually country flags.

Photography can be pretty awesome.

Are you talking about the lensbaby or the infrared camera?

The lens of course. Cameras can't have hotspots.

You are right, although the two do influence one another, especially if the camera is an infrared converted camera.
I haven't come across any myself, but you are welcome to browse my pieces to see if you can find a hotspot issue. A lot of them were taken with the lensbaby.

I didn't see the super hero connection until you mentioned it, and now I'm wondering why people would be walking around like that...weirdos

Yes, I had the same thought. There is a slight connection/remembrance to it, but not a fully connected one. I've seen a few photographs that mimicked the album cover quite well, so I didn't think this deserved an explicit mention of the connection, if that makes sense.
Thanks for the comment.

I don't know - there are images that are a part of the cultural vocabulary, so when there is a resemblance to one its not necessarily a negative. In fact seeing the similarity to the Abbey Rd shot adds to this because we can see how this image is learly different from it, how your composition sort of subverts it. I think that adds to your shot rather than take away from it.
It's all about the connections yo

We do associate certain images with certain cultures.
Subversion is an interesting feature of post-modernism.

Wonderful shot. I love how the colors all play off of each other.

You and me both! I especially like the tone - it's why I chose it!

Beautiful shot and color composition, the lensbaby makes it seem as if the path goes on infinitely as the rest of the world melts away into color

I like your interpretation of the piece! I can see where you are coming from regarding the lensbaby effect. It's pretty awesome.
