Two B&W urban shots from today

I stopped to take a few shots this morning on the way to a meeting.
These are from Benecia, CA.

Steven,

Would love to see those cranes with the same lighting as the first shot.
Nevertheless both are very good.

Thanks for sharing

jeffstowe, thanks for the comments.

AV Mode, I'd love to be able to get the same perspective on the cranes/bridge project as well. Unfortunately, I'd be in the middle of the bay to do so, as there is no land vantage-point on the other side of that where the sunrise would hit it. I have about 200 shots of that bridge project in various stages, and will post a "normally processed" one of the cranes, without the high-contrast silouhette treatment.

Nice composition on the cranes shot.

I agree - great composition with the cranes shot. Lovely lines.
