Stadium View*.jpg

Stadium High School, Tacoma, WA

Here is a view out the window of a stairwell from the famous school. It was a dreary day, so B&W seemed to fit. Here is a link to the history of the school http://www.klippert.com/Stadium/History.html

Canon PowerShot A620
1/320s f/4.0 at 7.3mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Another great shot - you're on a roll Erika! I would like to see this with the landscape a bit darker just for a little more interest, but as far as a pattern shot, you got a bullseye. :) jano

Yes, B&W does a nice job with that kind of day. We get a lot of them here in Western Massachusetts also! :) Very nice photo for the challenge.

Nope, wasn't clipped. It really was just a really yucky day. The sky was a very light solid grey... Also known as Washington. The day before was a super treat where I got the great shadows, this day, none of my photos came out vibrant... I tried to re-shoot a shot from yesterday, here, but I could not get a blue sky green hills, and dark blue water with boats ... The original straight out of the camera looked really yucky in color (hardly any!).

Here is Saturdays (With no PP)... (I re-shot because of the angle wasn't straight on)

Here is Sundays with no PP

I really like the symmetry of the patterns in this photo, the thumbnail caught my eye. the upper part of the sky is a bit harsh and I guess clipped, though I'm not sure if it's possible to do better, considering. this really looks like an incredible old building! - b.c.
