Frankfurt is extremely crowded at noon!
The elevator is super!

thank you Frank, Anirban and Jakov for looking and commenting

not much people there - the place is in front of Bethmann school for bankers and they are not here on sundays
I played with BW settings in the camera

thx Elsa for commenting

Really like that escalator image.  The processing is very nice on the B&W images as well.

thanks Andrew

 I was playing with BW mode in my DF, using the colour filters and contrast settings
 afterwards on my computer, I must say, the conversion at home gives me more freedom
 taking BW in place gives me more understanding for the outcome, means
 shooting BW plus RAW is the solution

Old style film like rendering underlines a feeling of destitute

Fons, destitute - how do you mean it? In the content of these pictures or in general?

this is a rich part of Frankfurt, the European Central bank is just 200m away
the subway is the Zoo station

destitute in the psychological sense, empty and lonely

First, third, last are to my linking. The first wins as of the light and the mood it transfers.

Agree with you Thomas. The first one has a compelling atmosphere, somehow.

Yes, indeed - that is a good way to go about it - best of both worlds.
