Some shots from Bristol

Found myself in Bristol on Monday, so had a wander and took some shots. Was very dissapointed with most of what I got, but here's some of the OK ones. Weather was, unfortunately, naff.

^^ some hideous CA on the dangly bit from the crane here, but I dunno how to get rid of it.. Any tips?

C&C appreciated.

that IR shot, shouldn't the sky be black?

Overcast day - so the sky was filled with cloud, which is IR reflective

As for HDR..
#1 half the point of the shot (for me) was to have the sky blown out, with the vague silhouette of a person coming down. I actually wanted it more blown than it is... So HDR kind of negates that.

#2 I tried HDR, but those two cranes were moving too fast for me - so that's just the "normal" exposure.

#3 I was going for a silhouette..

#4 I wanted harsh shadows..

#5 is HDR

#6 I couldn't be arsed to HDR it. To get even one stop over exposed I'd need a 30 second exposure ~ not to mention that shot is actually a panoramic. I just don't think the work involved would be worth it

yes, I always shoot RAW, but I don't like single exposure HDR's. Just personal preference.
