Getty Center 5

Images of the Getty Center in Los Angeles in Black and White.
My fifth gallery of fresh images made there. I have studied the Building Complex during my previous visits, and in books and the floor plans.
It is my hope that I have improved since my first gallery in composition and processing work. I hope enjoy seeing the images as much as I enjoyed making them.

The images were made on January 5, 2014.
I decided to process them using Silver Efex Pro 2 as well as Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS5.
All images were made with a Nikon D700 Camera and a Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S lens.
The focal length of most of the images is 14mmm. They were all made hand held as no tripods are allowed at the Center.
Best viewed in "Original Size".

of the marble front and center. ~V~
