|
|
This is the first time I have ever deliberately taken shots of a city and to be honest it was nice to take my time to walk around Bristol and get to know it in a different way as I have only lived here for 3 years. I was pleasantly surprised at what I found and can now say that I do like the city, whereas previously I did not think a great deal of it. Anyway, enough waffle here are some HDR versions of some of the shots I took, there will be more to come. I would love to hear what people think, whether good or bad - I know HDR is not to everyones tastes and I think I have used it quite "strongly" for want of a better description.
Stuart which do you think i should enter, or should i try something else?
Here we go
Urban river
I really like the result on this one, and think it has almost a painted/postcard ish look.
The corner shop, right in the heart of Bristol city.
Urban tavern
More of the "tavern"
Time out
This guy was having a drink next to a derelict old church in Bristol city centre and was happy to have his photograph taken.
Urban lunchbreak. A lot of city workers take their lunchbreak around this area overlooking the Avon river, you can just spot one.
City conflicts
Grafitti and Religion
