post your urban landscapes

[RHITMrB]

Hey, it's not your fault nobody else is posting images right now. Post away!

I particularly like the first one (w/ the Tasty Nut Shop sign), and the one with the wooden fence and stairs. Nice graphical qualities.

Thanks! Urban landscapes are by far my favorite subject, so I'll probably be posting in this thread a lot...

I finally made it through all of my photos from last year, so now I can post pictures from my new home - Portland, Oregon!

Very nice, especially the last one.

That's an eye-grabber. Love all the curves playing off against each other; it gives the picture a lot of energy. What building is that?

These are superb, Isaac! What film if I may ask?

Thanks Barninny, it is the Sage in gateshead, a music hall. It look a little like a slug from a different angle.

That's the Pespi bottling plant on sandy Blvd! I drive by there all the time. Great photo. Seeing photos of places you know well is both exhilarating and frustrating. Exhilarating because of the recognition factor ("Hey, I know that place!") and frustrating because it makes me think, "Why didn't I see that photo opportunity?" Can't wait to see more of your Portland surprises.

Does it count as a landscape if there isn't any land visible in the photo? It's urban, though.

Thanks, guys!

Mandoman7 - it's Portra 400. Especially for night scenes, where flare is an issue, I don't particularly care to do filtration, preferring instead to spend more time playing with curves in Photoshop. I do have some Portra 100T I need to play with...

Jonathan - all three of those are from around my neighborhood (Kerns). I have the same feeling about many of the shots you and Austin post.

There's a tree. Trees require land. By the transitive property of trees, there is land in the photograph.

You must have quite a back-stock of expired instant film, Jonathan.

I have a number of boxes left, it's true. This box of 79 was completely dried out, but by using pods from certain pack films (which are less expensive than the 4x5 sheets) I have been able to limp along with my current stash and revitalize that which has died.

Maybe I should call this my 'Frankenpod' series.
