Battleship Wisconsin

2014.08.07

Day One Hundred and Ninety. It's really too bad the battleships aren't still in service. I don't believe we've built anything nearly as intimidating since them. I put a lot more effort into the black and white conversions than I normally do. A lot of effort went into selecting the right color filter + dodging and burning to get the tonal relationship between the sky and the ship as good as I could make it. I think my favourite is the one taken from the nose of the ship, looking down the length of the anchor chains, straight at the guns. What do you think?

Protip: go to the top floor of the parking garage across the street to get the best vantage point of the whole ship :)
