suburbia

[Mohain]

Just two pics taken at Apsley Docks. There's something a bit odd about the place, almost like it's been built to film a TV soap in, or something ...

Stepford Wives anyone?

Later, That Same Day ...

I know the last shot is rather cliché but I think the little cloud, plane trails and seagull stop it from being really dull.

Comments, critique etc welcome.

Cheers,

Mohain

Thanks for the comments

Ren.182: None that are worth posting

Morgan: Both are shot using a Finepix s9500 with polarizer filter. The first one has had a Velvia action applied to it. The second one only had a Colour Balance adjustment of around +20 blue in the mid tones (and a bit of a highlight dodge on the cloud).

Cheers,

Mohain

Love the first one Mohain, really great contrast between the blue sky and the suburbia... freaky houses!

What polarizer you using?

Cheers. I half expected all the front doors to open at once and a row of grinning fathers, with lawn mowers, come out and start mowing their lawns in unison.

I'm using a 52mm Circular Polarizing Filter which is a well known (but generally overpriced) high street photographic suppliers own brand.

Cykey: Interesting. It hadn't occured to me. I guess it appeals to my left-handedness
Cheers,
