And I (along with many others, I've realized) am fascinated by abandoned and derelict buildings, so I love this atmospheric photo.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994679974980010174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241922689608569245.post-554471397933358742014-08-27T17:47:51.947-07:002014-08-27T17:47:51.947-07:00Allison, Your choice of tone here gives this captu...Allison, Your choice of tone here gives this capture a forlorn, surreal quality.

I decided to over expose it (post-processing) to emphasize the eire derelict nature of the scene.PhotoAllyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09864574413520626577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241922689608569245.post-39766441700450493442014-08-27T16:35:11.307-07:002014-08-27T16:35:11.307-07:00This is intriguing!

I like the straight lines of the derelict building, and the contrast of that geometry with the gone-to-weed foreground. Where did you spot this? I agree -- the treatment makes it.Allyson Lattahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667781174224276766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241922689608569245.post-7490274931711935322014-08-27T10:30:14.949-07:002014-08-27T10:30:14.949-07:00Oh, Allison.

And the way the clouds are minimal as if the top (third!) of the picture is insignificant... and yet the photo would be so much less were the sky filled with them. The building, the graffiti, the grittiness of the landscape... all of it so perfectly represented in your choice of 'technique'. It almost looks like pen and ink.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241922689608569245.post-80492887263628857372014-08-27T09:26:29.396-07:002014-08-27T09:26:29.396-07:00Aha!!!

Very nice, the contrast between the intricate formality and balance of the large building and the helter-skelter nature of the weedy foreground. At first I thought railway tracks but now I'm not sure. Is that an enclosing wall? Are we looking at some perhaps rather sinister institution? Great shotAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07240918006070069913noreply@blogger.com
