I'm not sure about this one, but after spending 40 minutes wandering about in the miserable drizzly cold, even my enthusiasm ran out and I decided that one of the shots I'd taken would have to do ;-)

Al Capone? Lovely color tone. B/w photo? Unorthodox composition ... Most photographers would probably have straightened it up. I'm glad you didn't!

I think it's a great shot, David. Very graphic, interesting textures. I could see something like this as a set in a 1930's horror movie.

You just don't seem to be able to look at things straight, do you?
And I'm so thankful!

Well... I like it. Nice texture/pattern and nice colors

Why did you choose this one over the others?

Is that spider man?

This is great, especially in this sepia tone. The shading on the stones/tiles is wonderful - it really has an old feel. The patterns are great too.

Fabulous tones Great reflections. Like the symmetry - it meeds to be half a brick to the left!
Crap title;-)

Jerome: if you'd seen the other shots you'd know why I chose this one ;-)
m: no, it's an extractor ;-)
peterv: yep, the title is a bit silly. As I composed this shot I was wondering what was going on in that room, and for some reason it reminded me of one of the many black and white gangster movies I saw as a kid.

Hi, I was wondering about your walks. This one has a 6s exposure time. Do you always take a tripod with you when going around? If so, how do you carry it with you and how do you work with it in crouded places? Or do you prefer a monopod? (can you at all manage a 6s shot with a monopod?)
Anyways, I still love to follow your pictures and can't wait for tomorrow. :) (or the day after at this time of year :) ) While todays shot was really nice I keep looking at the edges to try to see what's there and see if I can catch a glimpse of you shooting the pic. ;-)

Thanks everyone.
Nik: if I'm out at night I nearly always take a tripod. I do have a monopod, but it only gains you a stop or two and certainly wouldn't be any use at six seconds. Well, I guess it would be better than nothing, but I certainly couldn't keep it still enough for a decent shot.

I really like this. It's a welcome respite from reflection shots (as much pleasure as those do bring me).
