Cityscapes in Less Than "Prime" Light

Here are some images I captured today while wandering with two of my peers. The light was past its prime for my usual "hardscape" fare so I began looking for different ways to approach what I was looking at. my thought process ended up being something along the lines of: emphasize the shape and dark feel of the places I was occupying by being more concerned about the tonality of the sky and the just the shape of the buildings. Basically,  I decided to emphasize the shapes in the composition by severely back lighting. I feel as though I was greatly successful in my intent.

Hardscape

I saw this as I came back from lunch while I was at work. I quickly grabbed my camera and jumped the fence that separates our two buildings and shot this image. The shadows were perfect when I shot this and created a great sense of flow and a bit of tension due to the shadows being just short of touching the next window. It is kind of fun that you can only see the triangular shapes of the window shades in the shadows. This shot was definitely worth the rip in my jeans from when I hopped back over the fence. I am very happy with this addition to my "Hardscapes" series.

Abstraction

This is just exercise in seeing composition anywhere. All of these images were taken in about ten minutes from my bed. I thought I would show what I came up with.
