Just came across this photo which looked pretty bad, too many saves I think. So I tried to fix it up a little. Taken about 4 years ago, in Aboshi, Japan.
I think it looks kinda neat, all nice and grainy (not sure if this a result of your fix-up or original, but it's not bad either way). I'm wondering how it would look if you went fully monochrome on it, instead of keeping some blue colouring on the boat?
I really like this one. Something about the brick walls -- urban fragments -- that is appealing. I once wanted to be an archaelogist. Maybe that has something to do with it...
Thanks,
it was a little bit of both. I mainly used the Exclusion brush on most of it, and desaturated the boat just a little. Anyway here is another version A fully monochrome with boosted contrast.

Thanks for that. I like them both, and especially this one - but that's not surprising, since I've become a BW junkie
Thanks Paul, the idea of "urban decay" was something I was hoping to get across, so I'm glad it worked for you. The photo is from a wall at the Don Valley Brickworks, which was a former industrial site in Toronto, and it is interesting because they have turned the surrounding area (a rock quarry) into a city park, but kept a bunch of the building remnants. Some of it is off limits due to lingering industrial contaminants in some of the buildings (silicates, lead, abestos, etc), but there are still a number of interesting photographic opportunities from partially collapsed buildings and stuff.

It looks like you removed the color from the wall. Nice! Like it a lot.
Camera: Canon EOS 30D
Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Focal Length: 100 mm
ISO Speed: 100
That's a good one. Did you use a strobe and rapid frame burst?
Some really good stuff on here, great for inspiration!
My latest attempt, mainly just a few of us messing around with external flash nothing too fancy but i liked the result.

Cool shot
The colors and the shapes are very interesting. You also got a pretty sharp picture for not using a Tripod. Did you set the camera on something and use the timer?Grounded

Cool shot
just the camera in my hands and looking for some stability with my elbows on what we call a 'Nadar' ... The Nikon VR lens is really cool in controling stability, I took some shots at 200 mm this evening in the same conditions the are really fine. You can find more here. I did some correction on the curves and added some lens sharpening with photoshop but this is alway needed with my pictures from the Nikon D200.
