This is just a Tribute.....

Recently the weather has been crappy, overcast foggy and the sky has had little to offer in terms of colour, cloud and substance... This is annoying I have however been using this to my advantage by trying to expand my B&W portfolio. The overcast skies are great conditions for longer exposures and motion effect etc..

On my quest of advancement I stumbled on a photographer called Daido Moriyama, he mostly did grainy urban & abstract B&W pictures. After a little bit of research and playing with in PS I produced this is not a reproduction of any of his but i have used his technique's all be it tweaked to my taste.


This shot I have increase the contrast, dropped the light and added a little more to the blacks. I then added an infra red filter to bring out the rear wall.

ISO400 - F8 - Shutter 1/80
