So while shooting in the Fountain Square merchants district, I got the idea to go to the fountain (and to those of you not familiar with Indianapolis, yes, Fountain Square really does have a fountain) and shoot through it ... cascading droplets and all.
The results are what you see here ... the original color and b/w conversions of two frames, one of which (above) I cropped tighter for the b/w version. I also applied an art filter (it's called "poster edge") to the b/w version. These shots look southeast from the north end of the fountain toward the major marquee on the east side of Shelby Street. The ones below are straight, unmanipulated frames ... other than the b/w conversion.


I also experimented with a reverse (negative) transparency filter on two other frames -- one color, one b/w -- of the Mexican Grill at the point of Virginia Avenue and the square. My inner jury is still out on these -- I'm leaning in favor of 'em -- but I'll post them here, too. For those of you unfamiliar with the district, I include an untouched color frame of the grill, whose facade is a pink or coral color (very bottom).
