[ d u n g c a r t d o t c o m ]A place for the stuff that leaks out of my head

A corner of the derelict go-kart trak at St. Andrews Quay, Hull. The river lies just beyond the wall.

I spent August Bank Holiday afternoon on Beverley Westwood with family and friends (a couple of weeks ago now). I went off for a bit of a mooch with the camera, and took a few shots from which I wasn’t expecting very much. However after a bit of Photoshop work it seems I managed to turn out a couple of gems and here is one of them.

I’m not sure what it was about this spot, but it seemed to have a peaceful feeling about it. I thought the well worn grass in front of the bench was quite charming – obviously a popular spot for a sit down. The minster is just visible in the centre distance, towering above the rooftops of Beverley.

I‘ve shot it before and I’ll shoot it again. The crumbling Scott Street bridge in Hull, a grade II listed building which is too costly to repair (£5M) or remove (£125K), and is maintained in its state of dereliction by Hull City Council at a cost of £500 per year.

I seem to have let things slip and it’s been a while since I posted. Last week the Hull flickr crowd met up for a walk around the Wincolmlee / Bankside area of the city. I wasn’t too hapy with the shots I took at first, but having started to work through them in Photoshop they seem to be shaping up quite well. This is one of the surprises – fairly bland image in the camera, but a bit of tonal work has really brought the sky to life.
