Lingering in Locust Point

It's cold. It's cloudy. It's sunrise. Should I sleep in for a few more hours, or return to Locust Point? As you may have guessed, I donned my long underwear (etc.) and chose the latter a couple weeks ago.

I'd been meaning to return to Locust Point for over a year. Ever since my tour of Silo Point last winter, I've been drawn to this nice, out-of-the-way neighborhood of Baltimore. It's a peninsula of row houses surrounded by docks and train yards. Good neighborhoods don't usually play nice with industrials zones, so finding a safe place to park and walk about is tough. Locust Point is the exception with plenty of good street parking and easy access to views of the surrounding industry. The only trouble is that now I just want to go back and capture it from yet another perspective. My 24-105/4 IS was good, but the 17-40/4 seems like it would yield even more interesting shots.











I've also been wanting to try shots with the camera set down on the ground, inspired by Kevin Meredith and his Low Down series. Locust Point seems like a great subject, though the streets of downtown Baltimore should also work nicely. I wonder if it's possible to attach a small point-and-shoot camera to the side of my shoe for more discrete shooting... hmm.
