Downtown b&w's

[Alexandra]

ha... i've been totally procrastinating on posting pics lately.... lucky i found these in the photobucket account, or i would've forgotten them.
and they were shot last weekend.
thx for having a look

1.

2. (just between us: the reason i rotated it like this is cause i couldn't quite fix the tilt and awfull angle, lol)

3.

4. This is not the same building, but i thought i might as well throw it in. Actually since i read "1984", this place makes me think of Victory Mansions

Great shots. I like the rusted vent in the last shot.

 

[Alexandra]

Thanks a lot people!

actually i never wander in this part of downtown, but i'm happy i happened to get there and found this little backstreet... i'm always amazed to see all the undiscovered spots of the city

All these make me think I should give my Hamburg pics (that I took on 5 Feb and of which I have posted only very few so far) a b+w treatment to bring out more of what I really wanted to show?

For these quite convincingly capture the urban feel that I was trying to get in Hamburg, too, but don't feel I really got when I am now looking at my colour versions. The day was too dull for colours as it was, so you are really inspiring me now to try the b+w path ... if only there wasn't so much work to be done about the performance pics....... :roll:

I like your last photo here best of the series, although the angle up the fassades in 1 is also quite appealing, as is the look into the alleyway in 3 --- you are a good photographer, it is just obvious!
