Location test



We shot this location yesterday as a test for a possible upcoming shoot. Every couple months I need to come up with an ad  for Archive magazine  and thought this might be a cool place to make an image.
To my eye it looked great but through the camera it was all kind of a mess. I thought we should shoot a few sheets of film to see if maybe I was wrong. Maybe the camera knew there was a photograph here and I just could not see it. 
Maybe it was just the wrong time of day or maybe it needed  a different kind of person.
I am not ready to give up on it

Where is that? It looks like a wash in Briones Open Space in East Bay. Maybe I'll see you out there when I'm walking my dogs.
