Submitter's name:	Rob Harrison
Title:	"2B"
Gear used:	OM-4Ti + 35-70/3.5-4.5 @ 35mm
Diaphragm:	f8 as I recall...
Shutter speed:	~1/125 (auto)
Film used:	Fuji NPZ 800
Technical information:	Scan was made during processing by Ritz Camera. (Nothing special.) I cropped the shot in PhotoShop, and applied low sharpening in Fred Miranda's Web Presenter Pro while resizing the jpeg for TOPE.
Subject information:	The title refers to the floor of the old parking garage on which I park my motorcycle while I'm at work. It's on Second Avenue in downtown Seattle, not far from Pike Place Market. I came in at the end of the day near the end of the TOPE shooting period and saw the sunset light reflecting off the glazed bricks of the building across the street and into the garage (actually coming in from the east side!), making this rather dreary place look quite beautiful. I moved my bike over into the light to set up the shot.

Lovely contrast between the seemingly 'dreary abandoned' parking garage and the nice shiny motorcycle. A composition I wouldn't easily have thought of. Cool!

I'd crop to the middle of the dark side of the pillar on the left and maybe darken for a mysterious feel to the scene.
