Nothing Special...but take a peek!

[Emeka U]

Just a few B&W shots I took today. I'm not-so-patiently waiting for spring to bring some life (and colour) back to Toronto. As I wait, I'm becoming frustrated with the lack of outdoor shooting opportunities.

Oh well, nothing to do but work with what you've got...and so I shot these while was running some errands.

Enjoy!

All shot with 17-55 on my D70. Which one do you find most pleasing?

They are all interesting,especially #1

good use of the available environment, b+w gives the images the kick they need.

keep it up.

Very nice. I like No. 2 for no particular reason. :-D

There seems to be a balance between the OOF diagonals on the left and the in focus lines on the right.

Always enjoy your urban shots. These are no exception.

Emeka- I kinda like #3. Love the perspective leading toward the light. If it were mine, I'd probably brush out the people or whatever I see in the light: give it that real hard-edged view (steel and rivets) into the "abyss"; making the viewer wonder what's on the other side.

Thanks for the comments...that pic is actually my least favorite of the 3...not that I think any of them is particularly bad though.

Always enjoy your urban shots. These are no exception.

I see your point. Thanks for sharing your insight.

I also like number 3 the best, why I don't know I just like it. I here what you are saying about the crappy weather I am just north or the city in Newmarket and went out today to take some shots but only managed to to about 10 shots of my kid.

I just keep wondering what kind of job you do to find spots like that.

My favorite is #1, it has a dark and bonechilling feeling. the other two are nice but #1 is the one that does it for me.

... there is less structure, and it looks abstract, almost cubist. I also like the light and shadows in that one.
