Well, hopefully it qualifies both for 'good ole' days and the education topic.
It was tricky!
This was done at night with almost no ambient light. The letters were drawn with a white LED flashlight, so they came out white on black bricks. Then the whole wall was briefly lit up with the same flashlight to make mortar lines visible.
All was done under the rain (the camera was under umbrella, don't worry, but i myself got completely wet). All because i have bright ideas usually only 3 or so hours before the deadline =) 30 secs at f/8, Nikon AF-S VR 24-120G lens.
Took about 6 attempts. Main challenge was to go to the wall and start drawing on the right row of bricks after clicking the remote on the camera.
Crop, desaturate, invert, resize, bump up contrast in photoshop, nothing fancy, not even USM.
NO WALLS WERE PAINTED DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THIS SHOT.

I cant believe that this is not real spray paint. I gave it a 10 but after reading all the crap you had to go through to get this. You definitely deserved a higher score for effort.
I thought you would have and should have done better with this. I gave you a 10. I was singing this song in my head for two days after voting. Good Luck next time!

Thanks =) As i said in one of the replies to the comments, i don't even care how this scored, i was so happy and proud to pull this off, the score doesn't even matter.
At least those that got it thought it was cool =) And so did i.

Great Photograph, I knew where you were going with it when I saw the picture, I didn’t even have to read the title. The only thing distracting to me is the solid black and very thick border, but that’s an personal opinion. Great job!
Though validated, this looks like something I could make from scratch in Photoshop, and as such holds non photographic appeal for me personally. 3, just-married
