This shooting challenge was an ode to the prison term - honored tradition of monochromic photography . Oh , those delicate grey tones and striking shadows . Very artful , you guys .
WINNER : Marcus Gesundheit
I used my iPhone 5 ( Jailbroken ) , CameraTweak v0.31 and for position processing I used Photogene for iPad to create the customs duty pitch-black and white filter .
I thought to take this photo after seeing my uncle ’s photos of Israel . He is a disastrous and lily-white lensman with his own dark room . I just loved how he captured the decay in a beautiful manner . So I submit my Power Wheels Jeep from my childhood and gave it a good shove into the bushes . I read the pic right there . I pretend it was a spurring of the moment stirring , I call the photo “ Jungle Gym Junkyard ” .

Geometric Atrium
This is the inside atrium of the Hyatt Regency in downtown Austin , Texas . I am an Austin native , carry and raised , and a family member held their reception at this hotel when I was 4 years old . I have always found myself to savour or appreciate buildings with exposed atriums like this one and I specially like how the lines in the exposure course lead the eye . I submitted the photograph “ upside down ” really because the monochrome gives it a decent glowing upshot from “ the bottom , up ” . This was shot with a Canon 5D MkII using a Sigma 24 - 70 2.8 lens system . Shutter speed was 1/100 , ISO 200 , with the atomic number 9 - catch at 2.8 .

Shadows on the bulwark
So , personally I do n’t really like B&W picture taking . But , I was walk home after a dark of imbibition and saw this scene ! fortuitously I had my 500D/50mm1.8 on me 🙂 have home , got a last beer , played around in Lightroom , and was happy with my skill . However , the next day I was n’t so fond of the pungency ( my hired hand was n’t all too steady the Nox before … ) . So , I returned a night by and by with a tripod to take the blastoff you see here . fritter with a 550D/50mm1.4 , iso100 , 2sec at f/4 on a $ 10 Tripod .

Gray Pond
Camera : Canon EOS 5D Mark III
Lens : Sigma 35 millimetre f/1.4
ISO:100
Aperture : f/2.8
Exposure : 1/50
Location : Winnabow , NC
I drive by Town Creek on a fair regular ground , but I ’ve never stopped to take any stroke because Rt . 17 is normally meddlesome . On this particular dayspring however , I made a witting decisiveness to go there , in hope of beget a gibe of something other than Southport , NC and it ’s environs .
This part of Town Creek is near a failed growing projection that never got past the degree of the developers office ( now give up ) . It ’s a unelaborated spot on multiple levels . Snakes , gators and a few questionable humans live in the region , so you need to exercise caution . Oh and the erstwhile rotting floating dock are also covered with slick green algae , which is a perfect metier for launching your ass into the creek .
It had been raining all morning so I go to this smirch intention on fritter something in monochrome . The arena I really wanted to shoot was impossible to get to without a kayak or some other character of sauceboat , so I climb around on an quondam dock and some tree root to find an ideal position . Unfortunately , the only way I could get the shot was without the welfare of a tripod .
I march this photo using Lightroom and Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 .

Abbey Road
I was driving through a random neighborhood and saw this gem park along the street . The first thing that caught my optic was the contrast of the white rouge against the chrome and tires . The shadows played off the grill perfectly and I bang this was my subject for this competition . This British MG had a permission plate on the back that said “ Abbey Road , ” which I ’m trust have in mind it ’s at least been there .

Lone Tree
So I took this at Storm King Sculpture Park in New York yesterday . occupy this with a canyon T3i and outfit 18 - 55 mm lens . It is 3 exposure combined in Photomatix
This Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree was cool .. It was in the center of a field all by itself , and reminded me of that movie studio animation of the tree getting hit by lightning . It was a beautiful mean solar day and the clouds looked great , so I decided to snap this from a nice spot countersink below the tree diagram . The sun was really lustrous so I capture 3 exposures , so I did n’t recede the clouds from the shot being overexposed . The pics come out great in color but I figured it would look real squeamish in monochrome . This is the fashion I ’d prefer it even if not for the competition . So there it is !
