Nice image, too bad about all the burned out lights. This is a problem even on new buildings for APs, which sometimes can be fixed in Photoshop-though these would be hard. Trying to get the owners to fix them can be a long trail of tears as many bulbs these days must be special ordered. Also the flalr may be made worse by the center filter. Usually the fall off can also be corrected in PS with a little work-then you don't have so many problems with flare compounded by the filter.

One question, does anyone know how much I should compensate for the centre ND filter? 2 Stop?

Unfortunately, I had to shoot over a low wall and couldn't get the very bottom of the building into the photo. But I am still learning about movements, and this was a chance to practice using front rise and some back-tilt correction to make it look about right.

Bill, the trick with the situation you describe (wall) would be to use a slightly wider lens to get in the whole building...the reason most folks shooting architectural work have a good variety of wide lenses (I have 65mm, 90mm, 100mm, and 135mm, all of which cover 4x5 with movements); you also might be able to get more of the building in with the lens you were using by raising the camera higher and lowering the lens a bit from a little further out from the wall.

That shot is great^. Would fit in with your other shot in the abstract thread. I'd like to get out downtown and try those type compositions.

1st shot I am moderately pleased with out of my Crown Graphic. St Paul Cathedral on HP5+ in Rodinal stand.
