Description

BEST VIEWED ZOOMED IN --------------------- I won't bother with listing the camera setting specs here, since my post work has made them basically meaningless. This is a photo I took about 2-1/2 years ago of the infamous Alcatraz prison in San Francisco Bay, taken in the fog, which rendered it quite somber, and now made even more so in post. --------------------- Thank you for visiting my gallery. Your comments are always appreciated. And - PLEASE - feel free to leave constructive criticism as well. It is always taken to heart. :) Blessings! ~Robert

Impressive capture of this place, very dramatic treatment of the image, which increases the feeling of fear for this prison!

You know, I somehow have the feeling even though it's not a federal prison any more, that I need to recheck my income tax!!!!!! :) Really neat picture!

Stellar postwork. I like taking a "typical" to an a-typical photo. This is really dramatic work.

Very impressive shot of this famous prison, a very dark atmosphere emanates from this image, Robert !

Very nice; it would have helped to have some lightning to highlight more details. A lot of programs on TV lately about this place.

I got here after looking at the other image. It's interesting to compare the two. I like the dramatic atmosphere in this one better.

Such an intriguing photo-shot, Robert. It looks like a interesting painting, with a very mysterious mood. Th POV is so interesting, one would never get the idea this could be a prison, although I not (but luckily I was never (in) there, LOL)

Great atmosphere. Reminiscent of the fantasy TV series about Alcatraz that was cancelled a couple of months ago...

my only crit is the sideways signature on the left. It steals the eye away too much, could have put it bottom right with Alcatraz. If I'm ever on the west coast, I will be certain to see this place (from a good distance) You got a wonderful capture and Sober is an understatement!!
