Last Saturday I joined 25 fellow photographers for Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photowalk. We met at 5th and Muhammad Ali and fanned out from there. I came across this building and really liked the facade. I also liked the reflection of the building across the street in the glass.

I had attended a lecture by Dan Dry earlier last week and after listening to Dan explain what was in his camera bag I thought I would emulate him and restrict myself to one lens. Dan said that his kit consisted of a Nikon D800 and a 24-70 mm lens. Because I use a Nikon D90 which has a crop sensor factor of 1.5; I opted to limit myself to my 18-55 mm which is very close to the one Dan uses; my effective range with this lens is 27-82 mm. It was a different feeling not having my standard walk around lens of 18-200 mm and led me to try a different approach to my photos. I am continuing this exercise for the next few days to see how it affects my image making. I processed this image with Aperture 3 and did not use any other software to finish it.

I also did a Black and White version using Aperture 3 to see how that affected the image. I started with the red filter preset and then tweaked the color sliders to get the image you see below.
