 A shot of the side of Norwich Castle, in Norwich, England. Before I moved here from the U.S., I used to love taking photos of "old" things (buildings, stones, etc.). I had never really realized that there is nothing really old in the U.S.!

This castle was started in 1067 after William the Conqueror invaded, and the castle keep was built between 1120 and 1130.

More pics of the castle to follow!

This was done with:

RAW conversion with some tweaking
Conversion to B&W using gradiant
Selective colors to tweak the B&W
Resize
Border

Hey I am glad you liked the technique! I love all the detail, and your range of tones is really good :)
As a random sidenote: your photo is actually bigger than the site allows and there is a lottle button in the details to view it full size wothout the borders, I learn something new on this site everyday.

Wow, what great shapes! I like the angle, too. Nice job capturing the contrast in the lines, as well.

Amazing that they could build something so detailed and huge way back then! Looking forward to more photos of it.

I like the feel of this shot. Works well in b&w. Like the pattern of the windows.

It just amazes me that buildings that old are still in use. Talk about pride in your work. Very good picture.

That's why I LOVE seeing photos of these beautiful OLD buildings overseas because you're right. There's nothing older than 200 years in America is there. That's also why most people in America are so drawn to old architecture. This is so well processed. You can just feel the history in that building. Can't wait to see more.

That is one of my favorite reasons for traveling to Europe - the history. It is so much older than everything here in the states and so much of it is still in relatively good condition.
I like this in black and white, good range of tones and the detail in the brick work is great.
