Charcoal
I was taken (almost against my will) to Victorian University of Technology in Footscray, Melbourne where one of my friend’s needed to make an appearance at their Open Day, of which she was involved in the planning.
I spotted this set of stairs and railings on the way back to the car. Suddenly the trip there was all worthwhile :)
It was an overcast day and lighting was poor, but with the help of level tweaking, a blue filter and a dash of contrast, this grey concrete was looking a lot more fire ravaged.
