Hi Elaine, you are quick :) Here is the camera setting - Camera: Nikon D80 Exposure: 0.025 sec (1/40) Aperture: f/3.5 Focal Length: 22 mm ISO Speed: 640
I like the concentrated light on this shot. Her expression is lovely - and the guys really look as if they can't wait for the scoop to finish the job. It really is a superb moment in time.
Oh..I like this one! A. because it's an amazing photo, and b. because I love ice cream! :D Great photo! You capture the anticipation of grabbing that ice cream cone wonderfully! :D
Yes...lovely light. The 'glida' in Israel is good enough, but I love the frozen yogurt where they have a rectangular block and mix in fruit and/or sweets as ordered. Wish they had that here.
Great photograph, I like how the scenery is isolated by the black. You have a wonderful light here, great job postprocessing it. I like the woman smile, and the gesture on the two men. SwissCharles
What a great street scene! Ice cream, a favorite of mine. A beautiful young lady with a ice cream scooper in her hand,a favorite of mine. Two guys standing where I should be standing, not a favorite of mine. Great Shot! A favorite of mine!
Like Elaine, I have a question, I know Nikon and I am not suprised by the low noise (I'm now Canon and I know about noise :), but about the Kelvin, did you use luminescent ? I am impressed by the white of the light itself, compared to the warm color of the skin. It's like you had two different color temperatures. SwissCharles
@Phototherapy - I ALWAYS shoot in RAW format. I don't remember the WB settings, but it doesn't really matter to me because I "play" with it when I open the file in NX software. RAW is good :)
Yes, always in RAW, me too, of course. I asked that because I was really impressed by these "two" WB in one frame, which brings a lot used with the black background. It's so well seen! Thank you, Ilan. I don't know NX, just CS3. Charles
The post where u saw the photos....was about my birthday. Today. I am photographer and adored to know u. U can use it the the translator...so..u can read a little bit. Have nice weekend www.graceolsson.com/blog
Beautiful photo. Thanks for posting it for the "monthly special." I love the lighting, the framing of the woman, and the shoulders of the man on the right that express his anticipation so well.
The lighting is exceptional in this, and the quality (with little grain or artifacts) is amazing for a night shot. The 3 people are so nicely separated from the darkness. Fine work indeed.
Hi Ilan, thanks for your comment... I love your photoblog too... It's full of ideas and way to improve my shoot! This photoblog is a great place to share emotion!
IIan: Your work is artistic...you must surely be a professional? I appreciated you taking the time to stop by Open Sky Gallery and enjoyed your comment.
Very nice shot Ilan! I love the lighting, looks like an Edward Hopper painting... Thanks for your last comment on my site. We certainly have the same photographic vision and sensibilty !
I do my best to write this words in english but I have some dificulties...alors, je te remercie en français......tes photos sont magnifiques......it's a pleasure for my eyes to see your job..... have a nice day

Preciosa iluminación. Gran trabajo. Saludos.
Krims@nline.be says:
Wonderfull, this is what I missed, the ice cream lady in my dream ... that should have completed the fairytail. Well done, excellent light :-)

פעם הבאה - גלידה!
Very nice lighting - it looks like an ice cream oasis in a desert of darkness.
I have no idea where in TA this can be... and I want to know so I can go there :)
Claude says:
A simple portrait, with superbly lighting!
Benjamin Gustafsson says:
Great lighting Ilian. Somebody really wants that ice-cream!
Markus Spring says:
the glass between the viewer and her hands gives the scene something surreal...
From the exiv data you showed you must have been quite near, however the impression I have is the opposite. Clever!
Averi says:
Great, great use of light! I love how this creates a point of focus in the picture.
LightningPaul says:
Nice catch! I like the lighting, the two inpatient men and the cute lady. Good framing.
Kourosh Rad says:
I very much like the simplicity of this picture. well done
CraigM says:
Nicely composed & great use of available light, I like how the two foreground figures fall into the darkness. Good stuff!! :O)
Radel says:
I've said it more than once but great use of light Ilan :) you have captured the scene so well.
613photo says:
Awesome. Like everyone else says, it's the lighting. Not the kind of lighting you'd see in a photo of an ice cream stand at all. Very cool.
Incidentally, when I had nightmares as a kid, they looked like this. Ordinary things in complete darkness.
Ivar says:
Great shot, as others,I really like the light you got here. Really looks like the guy is about to jump over and help the lady scoop ;)
Jinksee says:

Good genre foto, but may be in B&W more effective?

Like your composition and the way you're playing with lights

RHYS says:
a great piece of metering here, I'd have expected a higher ISO than 640. Are they having a midnight snack? grand shot.
