Great !!!! Looks like something from the 1920's , 30's ,or 40's . Taken from 1 World Trade?Another NIK freebie playabout. Can do a lot of the stuff in C1P relatively easily except for the textures (e.g. old/degraded film) that I would use Pixelmatr for. SOOC photos were pretty poor with lots of elections on glass and a general haze above the city. Comments always appreciated.

The second one I thinkI think this is amazing!
[doublepost=1459766666][/doublepost]So, I went out for lunch with the girls yesterday and took a picture of an ornate lamp on the wall outside the Busby Hotel in Glasgow.
I took the picture but I was left wanting something from it. It felt cold and sterile so I had a play in LR.
I know I am only allowed one image a day and I could PS them together but I wanted to post both and get comments.

The monastery on the small island of Iona was found in 563 AD by St Columba, but the abbey in the pic - behind the tiny chapel - dates from the 12th century…
Got it in one! The post was one way to get rid of the polarisation artefacts on the coated glass in the viewing deck - polariser reduced reflections but resulted in horrible streaks that I disguised as "distressed" effects....

Anyway loving the cityscapes.
Another one from my garden I'm afraid.

And yes I don't usually shoot flowers with a 200-500mm lens!

The first one.
Definitely the second one, it has so much more character to it, with the slightly aged-like finishing.

So much for spring The northeast coast of the US got hit with a late winter storm that dumped quite a bit of snow today. Have to see if the flowers survive.

Another shot from one of my recent shoots.
Not too recent I hope! Great shot. The warm colours and the warm clothing contrast beautifully with the cold, blue background.

Now that's heather.
Nothing wrong with using a long lens to get close ups!So much for spring
Nice picture, but not nice being able to take it in April!
Something closer to home. Comments always appreciated.

Another wet weekend here I'm afraid....don't do a lot of selective colour but in this case, the SOOC was little different! Comments always appreciated.
Wet day at New Brighton by another scotsman, on Flickr
Well Scotsman your ability to evoke nostalgia for my youth continues to amaze me ... the indoor fair at New Brighton was an occasional treat that even made the long bus ride (with a change at Woodside) worthwhile. Again, nice use of selective color.
For the semi industrial look you should check out the riverfront at New Ferry, Rock Ferry and Eastham.
Well at least I got that right! The fact that it was in my garden though means I really should have changed lenses!Not too recent I hope! Great shot. The warm colours and the warm clothing contrast beautifully with the cold, blue background.
Now that's heather.
Nice picture, but not nice being able to take it in April!
And yet another photo from the same shoot....
Fortified church in Newton Arlosh, Cumbria...
A fortified church sounds like a contradiction to my ears. Anyway lovely springtime shot.Fortified church in Newton Arlosh, Cumbria...
While out walking Bob I saw a squirrel sitting on a tree stump looking as photogenic as can be...... unfortunately Bob also saw it and by the time I raised my camera to my eye it was halfway up a tree with acorn in mouth. Unfortunately I only had a 90mm on me at the time.

I wish I could do people shots when I see these.....

Thanks Ian although with conditions like those in the photo, I wonder how nostalgic you get
That is a very nice shot. Are you doing something, like free lensing, with the helios lens to get that really swirly bokeh? I've shot with a helios and I've never gotten that much effect from it.
No, not free lensing; my Helios was pretty much surplus once I got my hands on a Nikkor-S 50mm 1.4, so I reversed the front element to get a greater effect.
Of course, it won't focus as sharply now but I quite like it.
Cheers
Hugh
