Old Ruse Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

After a few uploads in color, I believe it is time for a B+W again.
This one is the same building in Ruse as a previous upload, only this time it is only the building in it and a slightly different angle.

PP: developed in DPP, converted to B+W, clarified and framed.

Nice work with the B&W Harry. It result in a very scarry scene, like a horror movie.
The use of 19 mm was a good choice too.

I really admire your black and white work. This is full of rich and interesting tones and textures. While i dont do black and white much - i really appreciate it when people can do it and get it perfect.
Thanks!

Hi Harry

I love this style, it certainly suits this type of building. It gives the mind opportunity to imagine, and to invent stories for this place. Great PP

Regards

Harry,
I agree that your B&W PP is the best choice for this dreadful looking place. However, I have some concerns regarding your composition. It seems to me that needed to either get your lens up a little bit to get the complete arch or 2-3 steps back to achieve the same and still being able to include the completely vasted walk. Just my 2 penny thoughts.
Regards, Peter

Its just perfect how the different shades blend plus how you were able to capture the details, i like most the tiles on the foreground...
