Vince - this is 8) - really does have that space city feel.

Very spacey Vince, not sure if the IR added much to it

If I'm right as to where this is, there are many spots there that give the impression of a space colony - it's a really cool spot that I haven't made it out to with the camera! Thanks for the reminder!

While I like the concept, I think I agree with Glen in that the IR didn't really add that much to the feeling in this case. I quite like the angle, and the darkness of the sky - and the b&w treatment of the subject works well (I think I read somewhere else in the last couple of days someone else commenting on how b&w really works well for sparse/industrial type subjects).

Can't be space if there's cloud innit?

Just joking!

Nice shot - I really like it. Wish it's bigger.

I like the IR effect, I would like to see in in B&W tho. I like the sterile spacey feeling that IR gives off, which I think would be lost in B&W.

Where is this???? Would love a bigger version too ;)

Hey - this isn't the stair well/ramp at the Sydney Olympic stadium is it?

I love it - Very futuristic shot - and you're probably feeling very 'spaced out' by the time you've climbed all the way up there as well :wink:
