Abandoned Elevator B&W

Thoughtful perspective and great lighting on this decaying building. Each part of the geometry seems to have its own character so you're actually telling a story of this structure as a group of interconnected parts yielding the whole. Very good exposure and strong post processing.

You know how much I appreciate your feedback, so it goes without saying......I'll try to get by soon to check out whats new.......Take care!

A B&W version of a previous post, love to hear any comments. Color

version in my "New Stuff" folder. Thanks!

Tim... Wonderful collection of shapes, patterns and tones. The washed sky works well here and adds to the stark atmosphere... Good shot! Mike

 

... normally it bothers me, but here it adds to the graphic nature of the shapes and the shot as a whole. This is really nice work, and it is great to see the development of your work. Congratulations.

Previously rated your colour version & flipping back & forth can't decide which image I like better, they are both excellent images.The B&W has a more stark appearance creating a forbidding feeling in this viewer. Agree with Mike about the sky. Curious how you obtained the white sky when the sky in the colou version is quite dark.Best Regards-Ross

Michael - Thanks so much, the cloudy sky in the color version really didn't fit the mood I wanted in this version, so I'm glad you agree with me.

 

Dennis - Thanks, for visiting my port today. It really means a lot to me. I've learned so much from so many people on PN in these last two years. I'm excited about how far I've come and about how much farther I can go.

 

Ross - I tried to make two completely different interpretations of the same scene, so comparing them based on color/b&w alone might prove difficult. As for the white sky, the color version is actually a composite of three bracketed images, so the sky was recorded with detail. I chose a single frame for the B&W conversion and selected one with the sky more washed out.

The stark treatment is a delight. Every texture is magnified and celebrated. The blank sky is the only place in the photo where I can catch my breath.

You spoil me with your poetic comments................. keep em coming! :)

I feel like a child, looking at this photo. It might have something to do with the shooting angle, perhaps...

The structure is a castle. There seems to be no easy entry. I am afraid of something but I continue to keep my profile high. I want to go back but -for some reason- I have to enter it... Will I?

The lack of sky, leaves all the stage for the texture of the different parts of this constraction, The different diagonal/horizontal lines vs, the upright ones, the light and shadows, the flow of the form and angle you have cropped it, creates a very strong photographic saying. Great execition in B/W.

The details are really great. Also a nice composition and tones.

Thanks so much! I appreciate your time and kind comments!

You played well with lines and shapes. Regards.

Great compostion and textures Tim, good conversion to B&W to bring out detail.

Thanks for your visit!
