Another taxi shot

Here's another NYC taxi shot, this one taken from out of our 31st floor hotel room window, then edited slightly in Photoshop.

Back from the USA

We got back from a ten day, 1160mile roadtrip round New England on Sunday. We have 960 photos! I'll upload the best ones here as I go through them and work out which ones are best and worth sharing...

But for now, here are two ace taxi shots:

Who needs focus?

Focus? Pah! That's for losers.

Am I the centre of the universe

My idea behind this picture was to think about what would it be like if a single person was the centre of the universe? The world as we know it is only rendered around that person, and as they walk through the world it appears around them. As they pass on, it slowly loses its colour and definition.

The photo was taken at Wembley, before an Elbow gig. The stadium was deserted so I took a few photos around the outside under the concrete walkways.

I'm about 70% happy with this image. I was aiming for some more levels of reality dissolving, with first the colour going, then the lines gradually fading. But I'm a bit stuck on how to do it, and sitting staring at photoshop for hours was starting to hurt my shoulders and neck :)

London

Yesterday I went on a trip to London city with some Maidenhead Camera Club peeps, and we took some photos of the city (Gherkin and Lloyds), Tower Bridge and sunsets over the Thames.

The pictures are currently being converted from RAW to JPG, will upload some once I've had the chance to look through them and sort them out.

Cloning 2

Here it is again, after a bit more work:
