Any special B & W software used to achieve this nice textural photo.

This is such a "striking" picture in the b&w, Sam.
.and the Jeep(?) heading away, almost looks like an old fashioned car .......
btw I'm sorry to be so late, but
Happy New Year!
Awesome shot, love the details and the high sheen
Posted by Pete at January 3, 2012 02:22 PMI like how the diagonal rails are dragging the viewer into that picture. The sky adds fantastically to that.

Breathtaking beauty in black and white. :)
Posted by Veronica at January 3, 2012 06:25 PMI really like this look... especially on such a cold day! Black and white suits it perfectly and the contrasty style reminds me of old time etchings.
Posted by Bill at January 3, 2012 07:55 PMThe quality of the closest car makes the scene look like something in 1930'a in a quick glance. Curious.
Posted by Hugh Petrie at January 3, 2012 09:07 PMSam - how did you make this photo look so dramatic? It's almost like it was CGI'ed out of a Frank Miller graphic novel? Nice one. Is there a specific post-production technique you employed?
Posted by Kieran at January 3, 2012 09:37 PMFantastic! I love the light on the buildings in the top portion of this shot. Awesome!
Posted by Victoria at January 3, 2012 11:38 PMVery nice shot and conversion!
Posted by Alex Feldstein at January 4, 2012 06:30 PMI dunno Sam! this looks almost like an HDR photo... Love it.
Posted by Scott Murdoch at January 4, 2012 10:08 PMI REALLY like this. I call it "The Calm before the Storm".
Sunny, only the bicycle in the foreground, no cars or people. Rather calming.
Yet waiting at the intersection - the cars! dun dun dun. Looming sky overhead. The storm.
