Sign Challenge.......Plus  by bkbinthecity

Sign Challenge.......Plus

I decided to combine the sign callenge with the weekly theme. The sign is another one of the old painted signs on another downtown building. The building is the McLeod Building which at one time was the tallest buildings in the city
The street is Rice Howard Way which is Edmonton's version of a cobblestone Street.
More shots of this unique road to come
Looks like a very businesslike part of town.

Have you tried a wide-angle lens? It's a must when you work with lines as it gives you dramatic effects, although, it's not the easiest lens to handle;-) Have a look here: http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/how-to-use-ultra-wide-lenses.htm

The cobblestone road looks very European but then the people you see on the roads in Europe are missing. great clean city shot.
