Bank of Scotland Headquarters on Mound in night mist and rain

Highest ISO (1600), reduced in size and converted to B&W to reduce noise, especially chroma noise. Braced handheld exposure. Umbrella was strapped to balustrade railings to protect from heavy rain, while hands were braced on stonework.

Night experiment, and one of my first ventures into the world of high ISO digital camera noise.

Original DSC03305

[Two years later with better noise reduction skills, largely as a result of using Neat Image (a good noise reduction program), I reprocessed the image to see how much better could be done. The new improved version can be seen here.]
