Like the subject and composition, if only you had colour film

Re: Science city valencia

trust me colour is as flat as it comes .... dull day would be an understatement

Re: Science city valencia

For a flat image as you say, you've dragged life into it mate. Well suited to mono. I'm just not sure about the drain/grate in the foreground.

Thats an interesting view of it... Mostly one only sees it from the side or three-quarters on. Very effective in mono.

cheers Alan - so annoyed about the light and it killed a lot of the shots I had planned - hence why I never processed this shot, but its come okish now

I'm just not sure about the drain/grate in the foreground.

I did consider loosing it, but that would have meant loosing the others as well - and had it been a perfect shot I would have had a go ....the thing that annoyed me was clipping the shadow on the left

thanks, its a problem finding different shots when so many have taken it - but it seems to work

I didn't want to add to your misery by mentioning that too

Looks to me like a suitable subject (in the near future) for a shot at 11mm on a FF camera body.
When you do, please consider not cloning out things like drain grids as there are part of the overall architecture - think of using them to your advantage - in close dominating the whole of the foreground ?

Re: Science city valencia

thanks James its a location that will be on my "must return" locations .... although hopefully this time the lights will also be on ! ( booked and stayed in a hotel only to find when I got there at 10 it was in darkness grrrrr) - looking forward to seeing what the 11mm will do ;o) ....

thanks for not pointing that out Alan ;o)
