Alcatraz

It has been an awfully long time since I updated this, normally I just post to Flickr but this series doesn't really fit on there, plus I thought I should start making an effort to post on here as it offers the ability to write something too.

We recently visited San Francisco for our first wedding anniversary. Alcatraz has always fascinated me, though I don't know why - I guess the movies and the history. Seeing it in the flesh was eye-opening, they've done a superb job maintaining the island and buildings.

Naturally Alcatraz's interior isn't particularly well lit so I relied on some pretty huge ISOs to allow for reasonable apertures and shutter speeds here, but given I knew I would perform a mono-conversion it worked pretty well.
