A small break from the tree series for some few shots in the city. Zurich-Oerlikon is a very interesting place for photography. It is a very industrial part of the city with a big amount of companies and of course with many people coming and going. But there is also a quite dense and heavy atmosphere which I tried to enhance.
For this one I tried to keep in focus only the foreground and let the background be unsharp in the weak grey-blueish colors which fit well the steel and concrete that dominate the region. The light on that morning was ideal for letting the scene appear this way. I am very interested for any comments and hints on this kind of photos that have this "feeling of grey-blueish steel", so any comments and suggestions would be very welcome.
Exactly, Goran! B&W is the best for such images for me too!
Thanks a lot for attaching your photo - it is one of a kind! This is what I call artistic photography that doesn't forget the essential basic things!
I have a latent tendency to post only those photos in B&W that I also shot with real B&W film, but you give me enough ideas for converting some of my own photos of such scenes to B&W using PS. The real grain ofn a B&W film might be absent then but the atmosphere could get enhanced very strongly! So, let me think about that.
I always was impressed by such industrial-metal-glass-tubes-rails images. But giving such images the final touch, they look the best in B&W. Like this one of my own, taken in Vienna harbor "Hafen Albern", with sigma EX 10-20mm.
