What time of day?

Good points Josh. I should resize maybe. I'm spoiled with 20" LCD's in the lab, so these seem plenty small.
Blue, I will check my camera right now for the info.
It was about 1:30 in the afternoon on sunday, sun coming from up and behind left.
1/640 f4.0 on my 30D. No flash. I can send you the high def version of it if you'd like. PM me. That applies to anyone. Some look even better at full resolution.

I'm in the same boat as Bassic Lab. Your pictures are very interesting and artistic Arriviste, and in particular I really like the one of the Garbage Dumpster, and the Rusting Metal Grid. It takes a lot of skill to turn a rundown/rusting/vacant building into the focus of a good picture; especially compared to taking a nice picture of a shinny new building. Although, you still need to possess some skill to complete the latter, so cheers and keep them coming Arriviste and Boris!

I will admit to being disparaged by how few responses threads like this elicit. Almost not worth posting, but it's still gratifying that few of you can appreciate what I'm up too.
Expect another one liek this next week.

I like them...I think you did a good job of capturing the grittiness of the downtown core that a lot of us don't always (or want to) see.

Great shots Arriviste! Very good work.

I Can't wait to see the next one.

Thanks for the omments. I think I'm headed out tomorrow sometime... I've got a ton of paper work to get through, but the afternoon is looking good. Hopefully by weekends end.
