About the Image(s)

Happy New Year.
I am a fan of H.G. Wells, and a fan of Black and White Photography. I captured a building in San Francisco that reminded me of something from the “Time Machine”. I converted it to Black and White and did some other magic that escapes me now, and then sharpened it. I worked hard to make the aspect good, but with buildings it is never easy.
Shot with my Nikon at iso 100, f/11 @1/125sec. 28mm lens.

Hi Don,
This is my favorite of your architecture photos. I love the lines and the angles; very futuristic.
Everything in the photo is very clean and crisp; except the lower left corner. I couldn't figure out what it is. It kept drawing my eyes there. I removed it; so it won't stand out, and I made the sky more dramatic. Do you like it?   Posted: 01/12/2025 00:14:47

Don, and Happy New Year to you. Great choice of wide angle lens and great post processing! I normally prefer color but this conversion to black and white is far and away the best way to convey this image of a time machine.   Posted: 01/12/2025 22:19:37

A very striking image. My only comment would be to straighten up the verticals which are slightly "out" - there is a small tilt. I don't mind the stuff at the bottom.   Posted: 01/17/2025 11:19:10

I like this image a lot - there's so much to look at and so many different angles and textures. Some of the angles are changing shape from convex to concave, especially the sharp angles on the lower left side. The vertical ladder shape (long balconies?) seem to be getting shorter on the lower levels, but that's another trick of the eye. I recommend straightening the vertical lines on the right and left edges. Good choice to make it black and white.   Posted: 01/20/2025 18:26:02
