Dashing Across The Road

Dashing Across The Road by duncmc

Dashing Across The Road from duncmc via flickr.

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.

    interesting light (and processing).
    the dark patch on the road looks like a shadow of a building out of shot, but the sun is behind the corner building.
    surreal.

    some of your photos are beginning to look like they are being prepared for plates in a novel, they are so descriptive that a story must follow each one, you are beginning to have a definite style to your work, we know a Dunc when we see one, rockin… tone…

    Such a simple scene, excellently captured & brought to life.

    Nice one.

    Jam Adams Ta – it took a bit of ’shopping to make the best of it.

    grif le riff I only noticed that “shadow” when it came to processing. I think it’s a repair to the road surface, but it does look a bit odd.

    tonecoach On of the most flattering comments I’ve had, I’m humbled. Cheers Tone!

    CMP73 Thanks, one word says it all :-) Nice to meet you in the real world the other night BTW.

    fast eddie 42 Thanks. I spotted the potential of the road markings as a compositional device, and I’m pleased with how it turned out.

    Isn’t that somewhere near Holderness Road??

    Anyway, your photoblog is a nice reminder of my 2 months stint in Hull 2 summers ago.

    I love your photos, but how can you not mention the marvellous Whalebone pub (just out of shot on both sides here)!!!
