The pic is not dark and moody for a reason. I WAS already moody. As a child, I was nearly killed a number of times by adults who thought driving drunk was okay and so helping at this sort of event along with not drinking and driving is my way of helping the next generation. As to dark. My most hoped for shot got washed out. A view into the trailer you see in the backgroud of the posted image where one is taken for beathalyzer or urine testing once arrested. A citizen was in there, head hung low...You get the image...I didn't. I was also sensitive to not getting recognizable faces on detaines for legal paranoia reasons. The perception at the scene is of great brightness although its not very bright photographically. Thus I tried to render it bright. Its not as sharp as I would like being hand held around a 1/30 of a second and I was tired from a full day of my real job! The light concentrates along a line where cars are stopped and drivers questioned. This is for police safety and so they can see into cars for alcohol containers. You learn alot watching your local police arrest your neighbors!
