I love this picture, the stark contrast of light vs dark, squares vs circles.
it's a creepy lovely! =D
Was this a BW photo or inverted. I guess I'm just bad if I can't tell, but the sky is completely throwing me off. It doesn't come out that epic on my camera when I do BW shots.
@Ironstove:That's probably because you don't use filters. They were quite common in the days of b/w film. I converted this one to b/w in photoshop, adding a red filter effect to enhance the contrast between the clouds and the sky. A conversion afterwards tends to produce better results than the default b/w setting on digital cameras.
@juliebeanss: Hey thank you, I'd like to take some pics there at night. Unfortunately the area itself has become somewhat creepy after dark. They had a few muggings there last year.
