Description
This is a shot of Fort Casey on Whidbey Island, Washington.
I'd been thinking about working up one of these Fort Casey shots in black & white, and was inspired by Eric EricSBauer to finally get around to it. If you haven't seen Eric's gallery, make sure you visit. I've got a LONG way to go with b&w to get close to what he does, but it's fun to develop the skill!
This was a great place to visit! There was a volunteer working on the bunkers who gave Bill and I a fantastic tour. He was informative and enthusiastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. (We had the best luck with docents and volunteers during his trip up here!)

This reminds of me a place I saw in Georgia, has some of the same kinds of structures. Great shot, and B&W is perfect!!

Doing it black and white gives it a sense of nostalgia. I like it. Great work, and awesome shot.

Wow, it looks very ethereal! Well done!

I agree with Denise, this does look ethereal. I love all of the lines and the unexpected angles. Working in black and white is so much fun, especially when you have a subject as interesting as this one. I love the POV here and the haunting mood of this piece. As usual, this is GREAT work!

Marvellous! Just needs FOG! You've composed this so well with the tower seen under the near one.

I'm ashamed to say I have never heard of it. Your photo does it proud though. I'm off now to goggle all about it!

Looks to me like you don't have all that far to go enroute to adding more fine B&W photos to your gallery Tara:) Well done...subject is fascinating and your info adds to the overall effect of this piece. Of course, I know, you'd like it better if there were reflections in it somewhere:-) LOL.

good POV, very nice shot.

Wonderful B&W image, very stark. With the watchtowers the overall feeling is of a prison.

WOW! I'm so jealous, I would have a field day around that place. A perfect choice for black and white, nicely done all around; hopefully you'll show us some more of this place... Thank you for the kind words on my humble little gallery, I appreciate it and am glad you got a little inspiration from it:)!

This is a great work in BW - very appropriate for a military location. Absence of people makes it even more severe and also eerie. Love it!
