Trip to Leeds for long weekend. (4 pics)

Crispin · January 29, 2006

Greetings all,

Just got back from a long weekend in Leeds, North England.
On a whole, not overly happy with the photo's I got but was a really good weekend.

Thought I would share some of my favorites.:wink
Comments welcome:dunno

Inside one of the ruin rooms:

A row of candles in a church:

and finally, a dew drop on a branch:

hey crispin-

how are you doing?-

some neat shots--I'm no expert or critic but I think you have an eye for composition--

you could use perspective crop on #1 if you wanted to straighten it out some--then again, maybe you want it that way--

trusting that you don't mind, I worked on #2 for a minute, applying a quadtone and sharpening--
I really like that photo a lot--

see ya!

all fantastic

maybe a little more contrast on the B&W's, but i lovee the candle one

Not too happy?
I think they look great! Especially the candle and water drop. I like the interior too -- maybe play with shadow/highlights and some toning on that one? Very neat feel to it though... moody.

Thanks for the comments!

George, might be me who's blind or tired eyes but I can't see much different with the pic. Maybe a little darker?

Skippy, the cathedral was brilliant. I fear I have to many missed shots though. Maybe when I actually get some talent:cry

crispin-

I'm so freakin' crazy half the time that for a minute I thought I had just loaded your picture back up-

your right; not much different; the quadtone did squat to it, but it is sharper, though (barely)--

just trying to help but I should have kept my mouth shut, except to say: I really like that photo--

sorry
