Howdy, I hope everyone had a great weekend. As you might know, I was on the road last week cruising around in the Nevada desert. Definitely not your typical road trip destination. However, the regular readers here know that I am a big fan of Americana, the forgotten west, and interesting characters….of which there is plenty in Nevada. I will share those stories and sights in due time, but what I wanted to do this week was share a little experiment I conducted while I was on the road. I won’t say what it is right away, but as the week progresses, I’d be curious to see if you can figure it out. Here is the first image from the experiment. It’s a photo of the old court house in Salt Lake City. I believe it’s a bank now? If you are from SLC feel free to chime in and correct me. See you back here tomorrow with some more clues.
Photographer’s Note This is a single image processed using Nik’s Silver Efex Pro II right out of Lightroom 4. No need for Photoshop CS6 in this one.
Excellent image Justin. I’ve been to Salt Lake City but haven’t a clue!
Thanks Len!
Cool looking building. It reminds me some of the flatirons building in NYC. Very simular architecture.
Totally..it’s not quite as flat…but surely similar.
Awesome. Love the conversion. My guess is you used some sort of negative/invert feature to get the B/W image?
Thanks Scott! I’m glad you chimed in. Great guess, but not the experiment I was conducting. I will say the experiment I was conducting was more on the simple side.
Cool angle and testures – black and white conversion is good too!
I have a friend who owns property in Nevada, I will have to send her this picture to ask about it. What an amazing place to have a bank or any type of financial institution.
Very cool! This photo was actually shot in Salt Lake City, in the downtown area. I believe it is the old city building or courthouse. I’m not totally sure. I would be interested to find out. Thanks Jenny!
