Eerie, empty pictures of Camden Town, taken this morning at 10:30AM. This is the day I always look forward to each year. I can literally walk up the middle of Hampstead Road, normally congested with traffic and pedestrians, without the fear of being run over back cars, or knocked over by tourists.

 

All M8 28/2.8

Louis,

 

These images are hauntingly lovely. The overcast makes the colors really stand out, and one would expect to see activity everywhere...

 

Well done!

 

Best regards,

Robert

Great captures and composition. Saturation boosted with Topaz or Color Efex Pro?

Louis,

 

A fine pair with the composition, vivid colors and sharpness. Somewhat stark view with the absence of any people and yet appealing.

Thank you, one and all. Nope, colours boosted by Lab spacing and applying soft-light.

Louis,

 

These are amazing images, and so eerie.

Normally all you would see is wall to wall of people, and that's on a good day !

Louis,

Great opportunity shooting

Looks like we're on another planet

Very impressive

 

Beautiful pictures that look like the colors of Kodachrome

Merry Christmas

... actually, I was expecting a Dalek to come wafting down the high street...

I like the strong colours. Yes it unusual not to see people around.

I always like (and envy) the way you treat those urban colors.

Dave, I happily pass on the secret, given to me by William Palank, another forum member: "Scott Kelby's 7-Point System for Photoshop" - absolutely essential, imho,

Beautiful set. Oddly though, the overcast and the saturated colors feel like a contradiction to me. Under those skies, the expectation is that the colors should look a bit more muted. The place looks positively eerie.
