It was well worth the effort Aurore.

Wow, fantastic image, Aurore. I will have to keep in mind this idea of adding a different sky to a city scene. In this case, it added great drama. Out of curiousity, are there advantages to doing this in the darkroom instead of photoshop? Just curious... I don't know much about either process. (And why do so many photographers have such a grudge against photoshop as a tool if you can do similar things in the darkroom?)

Hi Aurore, There's a very surreal quality to this shot. Quite elaborate work, too, and I can imagine it must've taken you quite some time in the darkroom. In that aspect, PS does have its uses.... If you give it another try in the darkroom (or PS for that matter) I think a tad less exposure on the cityscape would give it a better tonal range. In comparison to the sky, I find it a bit dark, loosing some of the details and contrasts in the lower part of the building on the left as well as in the people trying to cross the street. Very strong and ominous mood, though.... Nice try, very creative work.
Cheers,
Hugo

You should put this into your portfolio after you perfect it a bit. It is dark at the bottom, but the point of view is really interesting. I've been at the corner many times and I never would have come up with that angle. Resorted to Photoshop eh? Well, I won't hold it against you.

very interesting. i like it a little darker at the bottom. it makes me wonder more about the people crossing the street. it does have a post apocalytic feel to it.

Well, I am definitely going to try this again in the darkroom. I think after all the time I spent last time I've got a pretty good idea of how to do it perfectly. This time it's going on an 8x10 of my best paper (I have very little of my Oriental VC RC glossy, can't buy the stuff here ; ). I'm hoping to get into the art institute if boston for photography and this will most certainly go into my portfolio. I want to be sure and do it all in the darkroom to show my 'skills'. After all, they require that at least a few of your portfolio photos be of shots you developed and printed yourself. I know it's a bit dark at the bottom... I still need to experiment to get the right exposure. I did block the light down there for a few seconds out of about 15, but I guess it needs more. I also want to up the contrast on the clock face. Perhaps when I've got it 'perfect' I will re-post it. ; ) Thanks for your comments!! Aurore P.S. Clockwork orange, huh? ; ) I love that movie.

This is how I have always envisioned the earth after the fall out. The gray violence depletes our colors and leaves us seeing in a sense of gross neutrality. Excellent work. Clock Work Orange and Bladerunner mix. Impressive

Cool one! I like the b&w here. It just seems strange to see a FL photograph done in b&w though doesn't it? Not that there is anything wrong with that;) It does seem a bit dark at the bottom though. Maybe another curves adjustment to bump up the shadowy area just a little. Good comp.
