Posted by Babul Bhatt (Bombay, India) on 18 July 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
I was loitering around at Trafalgar Square when all of a sudden it started pouring. Charing Cross Train Station is 4 mins walking distance from Trafalgar Square. I waited there until it stopped raining. When I came out I saw this - The sky was overcast and the roads were wet. It definately made a wonderful black & white shot...
What you see in the front is National Gallery located at Trafalgar Square, which has an art work from the Early Renaissance to Post-impressionism. I have to admit that I have spent 4 days inside this gallery.
PS: Been busy at my end recently hence been unable to post any more photos.

@Shamabd: Thanks for viewing and leaving comments :)
The glistening wet pavement makes the shot Babul! All the best, Ian

@Ian Bramham: Thanks Ian...
I like a lot of the elements in this shot. Some people in the foreground would have done well and the car being clipped on the right is a little annoying. But a great shot nonetheless and the exposure is nice.

I never noticed the bar code you have until today. What does it actually mean? Just curious.

@Shuva Brata Deb: it's an embedded barcode (security) watermark...
I agree with Newbie and others. Your range of b/w tones is perfect! Great shot.

Makes me miss England! But I live in Seattle so I still get plenty of rain LOL
I love the composition of the picture, your eye is drawn up the street. Very nice job

19 Jul 2007 12:24am

Excelent shot and a good choice to do it on B&W

The b/w is spot on here, brah! The great composition makes it a perfect shot! B-)

A fine perspective shot with much atmosphere in B&W.
19 Jul 2007 3:05am
It's an absolutely beautiful photo! The wetness, the color of the clouds, even the clean feeling of the street contrasted with the random page from a discarded newspaper-- all strike a perfect chord. Quite lovely.
19 Jul 2007 11:34am
That's really nice. Hope you enjoy your visiting in London
19 Jul 2007 11:43am
Wonderful Black and White!

beautiful b&w. Great shot.

The logo in the lower left stands out. Think for this shot if it were placed in the middle, bottom, that it'll blend better. What's with the Bar Code? That is a ode. Right?
20 Jul 2007 5:02pm
Nice, the b/w takes me to the 19th century
21 Jul 2007 10:57am
