Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Black & White II (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: Outside of Woodstock, Ontario
Date: Nov 12, 2004
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/30
Date Uploaded: Nov 12, 2004

Taken at 18mm with the 18-55mm kit lens.

Fixed perspective...converted to black and white using the information from the Green channel...boosted contrast.

This is another photo where I'm try to convey our willingness to compromise what is good and true in order to gain what is fleeting and ultimately unsatisfying. I find that smokestacks are a beautiful symbol of our screwed up priorities.

Nice sunset/sunrise. I like the concept (well, not the polution, but how you've captured it)

Great use of black and white. Lighting is dramatic and effective. A great job of turning a boring subject matter into art.

I like the lighting here. Interesting urban landscape. Unfortuantely, I do not exactly understand the title, but the image is well done.
