More redevelopment sites.

I think HDR processing can be used creatively to enhance the emotional content of a photograph.
It makes this shot look even more run down by enhancing the textures.

While shooting some redevelopment sites recently I just had to stop at the railway lines.
They are a photo magnet, especially when emphasised by the snow.

I have been trying to document a few areas of Town that are due to disappear.
There are so many areas that have changed and I cannot remember what was there after just a couple of years. Perhaps that is a good thing but I will only be able to tell if I have a historic record.
The snow added to the desolation but also served to hide a lot of rubbish.

More snow falls on Spalding

But our good ol’ Postie got through.

It was the heaviest fall that we have seen for a few years. If you’re under 20 - for a lifetime!
Thank heavens some of us old folk can remember when it was worse if only to prove that it has actually happened before and is not the sudden effect of Global Warming hitting us.
When I was young *****!
Back in 196? ********
Oh i Feel old!!!! Yes, I know - I am old.

It sounds more like a Pop Concert than a severe weather warning.

A couple of shots from a Spalding Snow Event. Shame nobody turned up!
I thought I would give HDR and Infra Red a try in snow conditions but in reality the amount of snow that fell on Spalding was not as advertised.
These were shot using high speed bracketing on a Canon 40D at over 6 fps.
I am having quite a lot of fun trying the HDR technique and have used the custom function setting on the 40D to save those settings that I use a lot.
