It was nicely foggy yesterday morning, so I took a drive to see what I could find. Believe it or not, this isn't as processed as it looks.

When in Washington DC I stopped by the White House a few times. I say ‘stopped by’, but it’s not as if I was invited in for tea or anything. The closest I got to Obama was when a look-alike gave a presentation at one of the events I was at. No, I ‘stopped by’ meaning I stood outside the fence and peered at the building from afar like all of the other tourists. I took a few shots, but they are for another day.
Very near to where I stood looking through the fence I found this hydrant.
Fun fact – it’s pretty difficult to write an interesting blog post about a hydrant.
As soon as I started to process this shot I knew that it would only really work in black and white, so I used a few filters in ColorEfex and PerfectEffects to boost up the contrast and such so that it would pop a bit when turned to black and white. I also had to do a lot of correction of the lines as the street was pretty slanted and looked funny.

I took this one in lower Old Quebec. I liked the colours of the fire hydrant and the details in the grate.
I really loved the way the blue in this hydrant came out. A smaller feature that I didn't catch until after shooting were the small patches of rust.
Quite why they needed a hydrant next to the sea I don't know.
Pictures like this are a dime a dozen in Mauritius though.

A fire hydrant attached to the wall of a car park building. That white bit is the stem of the P for Parking. I liked the interesting juxtaposition of objects, lines and colours.
