Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Just like a film set in a studio. Such a fancy surround and just a plain door.

@Observing: it's an odd combination, isn't it? this whole area, on a sunday at least, has the feeling of a film set to me.

The shadow that allows the building at the sun is really fantastic

@yiannis krikis: thanks yiannis. there's something about the light in this part of town that's really unique.

Jacob from Cedar Hills, United States
Great photos here, did you develop all of these yourself? Black and white always seems to give things a different perspective.

@Jacob: thanks jacob. i develop my own film, and then scan the negatives.
dj.tigersprout from San Bruno, CA, United States
hmm --we've seen another shot of this building before i believe? maybe one of your first, if my memory serves... ;) of course the deep shadow work is my favorite part of this shot -- just heavy and moody against the bright light... and that singular telephone pole shadow is just fascinating! fab-o!

@dj.tigersprout: amazing memory - yep, my first pic here. i just keep going back.. thanks dj.
Monkey in the Jungle from Bridgnorth, United Kingdom
Another great. I love the way the shadow is creaping across the image.
I haven't got a negative scanner, I could get a 35mm scanner fairly cheap, but not a 120 format scanner.
22 Aug 2008 9:34pm
@Monkey in the Jungle: thanks. i know what you mean about the scanner. i shoot so much film that i finally rationalized it as a long term cost savings. i think it really has been, but that doesn't create the cash up front.

p.s. where did you get your Druh Synchro from?

@Monkey in the Jungle: ebay purchase from a u.s. seller - i really like it

@ordinaryimages: fine, you called my bluff - i'm tapped out... but you never know when b&s will call my name again.
@10cré: thank you. i like your photos, but couldn't read well enough to leave a comment.
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
This one is magical. The way you've set the building up higher in the frame is really good, and it emphasizes even more the fantastic play of light and shadow.

@GJC: thanks gjc. i wanted those two blocks of light on the road. i appreciate the comment.
Carraol from Mexico City, Mexico

Teresa from Mountain View, United States
Your city seems charming. Or is that you doing your magic? :-)
25 Aug 2008 4:04am
@Teresa: that's impossible to answer. i'll just say thanks. :)
Lucca from Cologne, Germany
Stunning composition! I especially love the light with the two blocks in front, and the tones are great.

@Lucca: those blocks of light are what stopped me as i drove through on a deserted sunday. thanks lucca.
@Twelvebit: thanks
