Looking towards Manchester

From the observation tower at the Imperial War Museum of the North - yes, the tower was actually open today!

Central Manchester is in the distance.

I can see my office from here (almost)

Very nice indeed.

Steve -

Exquisite for all the normal reasons of your B&Ws, but in this one your usual richness of tones is even better.

Just elegent... and the tones.

How did you process the image?

stunsworth · 03/03/08, 11:45 PM

Thanks guys.

The conversion was done using the Alien Skin Exposure plug-in. In this case I selected just the red channel in order to add some contrast to the aky.

Excellent Steve - a very "steely" look!

stunsworth · 03/04/08, 08:52 PM

Thanks Keith, that's what I was thinking. I like the look that the red channel has given to the sky, but I'm less sure that it's worked well with the tall building next to the bridge.

And I can see Andy drinking a cup of coffee in this office.

Great shot

It seems like a picture taken on Mars planet i mean about the sky (beautifuk adjustment) and human building in first plan ...
but it's just a dream

Steve, very cool shot. It wipes away my impression of Manchester as a more brick & mortar city.
