post your urban landscapes

I've been meaning to photograph this sign for some time but it didn't work out as I saw it.

Good to see you back in the large format game, Ramiro. But are you saying this image didn't work out 'as you saw it' or previous attempts didn't? In any case, I like this one.

I was expecting more out of this. Right when I packed to head back home the sun came out and I had one of those feelings "God is telling me to quit photography" again.

Thomas,

I read your comment about your concerns when the delivery truck pulled up on the right, so I took another look at the Hamburg image with that in mind. I think you were very fortunate that it was a DHL truck. In black and white, the tone of the truck blends closely with the tone of the building. At the same time, the truck adds just enough mass to the right side of the image that if greatly increases the feeling of depth on the left side. You used good seeing and good judgment in going ahead and releasing the shutter. Excellent image!

I am guilty of this all the time. I have an idea in my head of what I want the final image to look like, but when I scan or print the negative the magic just isn't there. It usually helps to take some time before passing final judgment, though. Once I have distanced myself from my expectations I can better see an image for what it really is. Sometimes I end up liking it more than I did at first; sometimes I realize my first instincts were right and it really does suck.

As for God telling you to quit, I know the feeling. Austin does, too. Maybe it's common among photographers and/or artists?

The Palace Theater Swansea a very old theater thats been on the buildings at risk register for years yet nowt is done. Took advantage of the xmas day and shot a few landmarks that would normally be very busy

It was foggy last night so I thought I would drive downtown and see what spooky shapes and shafts of light I could find, but when I got there the fog had thinned to a very light haze. A cop stopped to check me out while I was making this exposure, but he was cool about it even though I was parked illegally.

Nice! I really like the diagonals of the tracks and roads, juxtaposed with the RR ties. Cool image.
