Newcastle I

I am super happy, I now own the Canon EF-S 10-22 mm f/3.5-4.5. I have wanted this lens for such a long time; having always felt that the kit 18-55 lens was never wide enough for my style. So here is my first shared shot with the wide angle. This is the 'Angel of the North' sculpture found on the outskirts of Newcastle (next to the A1). The sculpture is 20 metres tall and has a 'wingspan' of 54 metres. I really wasn't standing far away from the sculpture and easily got it to fit in the shot. The slight distortion in the wings will be due to being slightly off centre. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

Brighton V

A shot from a few years back now (maybe in 2009/2010). This is the famous Brighton Pavilion. A three image/three exposure (nine shots) HDR image captured using a Canon EOS 500D and 18-55 mm kit lens. Processed using a plethora of software: Photomatix/Hugin/Adobe Lightroom/GIMP.

Peak District XIII

An alternative view of a photo uploaded some time ago. A highland cow seen not too far from Curbar Edge in the Peak District. I walked past this guy in fading light, he seemed very inquisitive and came within a metre before wandering off. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

Nottingham XLV

Some of the many windows found on the John Player Warehouse in Lenton, Nottingham. I've tried to correct the perspective on this one, mainly because I couldn't get a head on shot due to fences and buildings being in the way. A three exposure HDR image captured using a Canon EOS 500D and an 18-55 mm EF-S kit lens. Processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

Paldiski VII

New car? This is a shot from a few years back; new cars waiting to be transported from Paldiski harbour. A three exposure HDR image, captured with a Canon 500D and 18-55 mm kit lens. Processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

Oslo II

The front facade of the Royal Palace (Slottet) in Oslo, Norway. In the foreground you can see a statue of Charles XIV John of Sweden (Charles III John of Norway). A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix, Adobe Lightroom and GIMP.

St Petersburg I

A look across the River Neva towards the Kunstkamera and Zoological Museums in St Petersburg, Russia. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix, Adobe Lightroom and GIMP.

Copenhagen I

The view of Nyhavn (New Harbour) in Copenhagen, Denmark. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

Pripyat VII

The entrance to one of the administrative buildings in Pripyat. The atomic logo can be seen followed by the word 'комплекс', albeit missing a few letters. You can see how time has taken over this place, allowing for vegetation to grow through the concrete. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.

Pripyat VI

It's been over a year and a half since I visited Pripyat (Prypiat), so looking through my photos I've found more I would like to share. This is some graffiti that has been sprayed on an exterior wall of a decaying building. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.
