The beautiful Metro City Station in downtown Detroit, abandoned a while back, and is now just another obstacle for Detroit artists to spray paint on. If interested, many people have ignored the barbed wire and ventured inside which has a certain charm to it still, I suggest everyone check out some of those. I generally abide by the law
And i will be first to say this is the sky, enhanced, and grass, enhanced, nothing was added to this photo, the light around the building is a 3 shot HDR, curves adjusted!
Commanding building, such a waste.
This looks enhanced ... I know you have mentioned it but ...
Yeah, basic stuff, RGB curves to deepen the sky and grass...i wasn't really sure on this sites policy for HDRs though
such a waste of a magnificent building, but I have heard that a lot of Detroit is like this.....
yes, Detroit is very much like this and Saginaw is almost as bad--it is a shame because honestly there isn't much beauty in most of it.
Actually, they have been saying recently that the building may be converted into a crime lab, for Detroit cops, so there may be use shortly. And i think the fact that it is still standing shows that Detroit is not willing to let it go. But i completely disagree that detroit is without much beauty. I think that some of the art that gets put on the inside of these buildings (in this particular building there is a 50 x 50 ft graffiti tag that is absolutely stunning). All of these high abandoned buildings are amazing places with beautiful history.+
HDR overdone
really? well, i overcame a lot of obstacles to make that image so i'm quite proud of it the way it is.
I have to agree with the HDR comment, but then I am biased, because I am not a fan of HDR anyway......but each to their own!
well much appreciated, i think i'll try it out again...now are you guys saying that the levels vary too much? the colors pop out from each other unnaturally...what exactly is "overdone", considering that is a hardly specific or constructive thing to say
What a Beautiful Building
Agrees with the HDR comments.
the bit that ruins this for me personally, is the overpowering 'halo' glow around the building, it is, in my mind, just too much!!
Thank you, now i can attempt this thing called progress.
Awesome!
