This another shot of the building that I featured yesterday. On this shot, I wanted a gritty look that showed primarily texture and lighting. One aspect that I really wanted to showcase was the fire escape and its shadow. I thought the fire escape was the central point of the building and brought a very strong compositional element to the photograph.
Camera settings: Nikon D700, 28-70 f/2.8 at 28mm, shot at ISO 200, f/16 and 1/125 of a second.
Post Processing:
Lightroom—set white and black points, increased saturation of red.
Photoshop—used nik Silver Efex Pro to convert image to black and white, and increased mid-tone contrast using curves.
Great shot Patrick!
ReplyDeleteI really like the very dynamic composition, the interesting point of view and the terrific job you did on the black and white conversion!
Well done!

Larry-
ReplyDeleteHi. I agree with Barry on his points here. Also I think the image looks like it could have been shot at night by street light or long exposure ambient light.
Over all it has a great look to it.

Interesting. Most interesting. The angle that you took makes this a most interesting photo. I do not know what color the building is, but I cannot image any color that would make this a better photograph than this black and white one. Good job.

A lot of interesting things going-on in this photo. The B&W treatment is just perfect. The light on the building helps pull your eye into the photo. Well done.
