Along Boston's North End

Appreciate your thoughts in general, of course, and especially around the "look", processing.

Thx
Scott

I like the grit - I recall a post some time ago of a window (FixMeUp series) - was it yours? Same location?

i like your comp very much. the bridge coming out towards the eye (top LH corner) balanced out by walkway leading into picture (bottom RH side). in agreement with bob as well - i like the 'grit'. suits this picture quite well

Bob,
Thx.
Maybe a FixMeUp. Not sure. Image was taken in late October, early November. Its possible I posted it before. I did a bit more processing today (mostly adjusting the intensity of the duotones.
Is the lean of the building far right problematic or OK with this grundgy kind of image?
Scott
BTW, lets bring back the FixMeUp concept!

Bob,
I now know what you mean. Both are warehouses in Boston. The image above is close to the water in the North End, an Italian community near the harbor. Your memory is good, and the other image was taken in near the South End of Boston, in another abandoned warehouse.
Getting into the grunge and grit thingy.

Scott,


that would be it.

To me, the wedge at the right is a little troublesome - just checked and it is easily corrected in CS3. I think the effect is magnified by the frame - perhaps a different color frame would help?

I'm game for FixMeUp if I ever get off my butt and go take some captures...

regards,

Bob

Yes, much better. The additional frame width (and weight) helps out too.

Curious what it would look like if Kaden were to conjure up a Lomo version?

regards,

Bob

<edit> Attempt at Lomo - works

<edit> post different version

<edit> And Bee is certainly correct about the patch of sky - good eye to crop that out Scott,

cheers,

Bob

Hi, Scott..How do you find these great locations? Not that I would ever dare go there myself on my own

Nice find, Scott... I prefer your correction and crop because of that funny piece of sky. Nice effect which adds to the gloomy and decrepit

Can you go there again? Would like to see a vertical shot without the modern Bridge on the right. I tried a vertical version but, of course, the top of the building is missing. Here goes...

Best, Bee

I don't understand it - why does my Web version display such a redish and too punshy an appearance to it? I promise you my version did have a more subdued gloomy effect. I converted to jpg thru Save As and profile is sRGB so what gives? Any Ides? Thanks

Bee,
Thanks.
That piece of sky was really bothering me too.
The vertical is interesting.
BTW, this is not a place I would have explored on my own. Several Boston area FMers met up one very early Sunday morning back in late Oct. I think the image was taken by 8 AM or so. We wandered thru the Italian community of Boston's North End, and around, under and just south of the Zakim bridge (you've seen a couple versions of that here) and along some pretty run-down sections with great textures and graffit. Ending up with ricotta cheese pie (drier, tangier, really different from regular cheesecake) and cappucinos at Mike's Pastry. Highly recommended.

..Scott,.interesting but no cigar, right, Hahaha. I have to agree it takes away from this lovely decaying building.

Best, Bee

P.S. I looked at the link, Scott - great shots - I am very taken by the different perspective of the Zakim Bridge, you know, the one before the window shot. The only thing I would do with that is to clone out the green traffic signs in the far background - the bane of civilization!

The graffiti and rusty door etc. all are great....

Kaden,

I like the cross-processing - I assume that is the proper term?

Bob

Oh, and yes, I introduce myself as "I'm Bob, and I'm a tinkerer" - there are worse things

Great muted tones and leading lines here. Dark water anchors the shot.

Nice work!

They're all very interesting. My only gripe is the vignetting. Sometimes vignetting can really lend a lot to a photo but here I don't think its necessarily appropriate. Has the look of a ND filter in the wrong place sort of. Other than that good processing and interesting angles.
