Artist's Comments

A guy reads a notice stuck to the wall “All the buildings between X and X street will be torn down in XX month; you will be compensated for your house based on its size.” That’s basically the gist of it. Coming soon: high-rise apartment buildings and shopping centers.

Canon 30V, Canon 17-40mm f/4 L Lens, Fuji Velvia 100F

ps. Velvia 100F is relentless about blown highlights!

The man reading the notice seems to stand out a hell of alot in this shot...and I really really like it! I think its due to the dullness of the walls and floor, but its a great effect!

veeeery nice. I like the tones and the perspective. Too bad the sky's burned. What sort of speed did you have here?
btw, do you usually use any filters? I need to get basic UV-filters to protect my lenses but also been thinking about getting B+W or Hoya Pro circular polarizers, but they're quite big investment, so not sure..any pointers?

Quite the harsh notice, not something that you'd want to stumble across regardless of your home value!

For some reason I think the blown out highlights work here - I wouldn't be too concerned about those. Maybe it is the fact that they add to the starkness of the scene and the message within, or maybe it's the fact that you've been able to pull more detail into the shadows . .
