Jail
This is the Allegheny County Jail as seen from the Eliza Furnace Trail (a.k.a. the "Jail Trail"), a walking/biking trail in downtown Pittsburgh. The image was made with a homemade pinhole camera, the cylindrical variety, hence the distorted view. I don't use a tripod of any sort, and the camera is very light. The only platform available to get this view was a guardrail. Imagine how suspicious (or just crazy) I looked holding the camera, a Quaker Oats can, steady against the guardrail and counting off.
This was a twenty second exposure at ~f/226 on Ilford Grade 2 Resin Coated paper. There were no exposure or sharpening adjustments.
As an aside, lunch usually smells pretty good at the jail around this time.
