Leeds is starting to pay off

Quite a nice email arrived on wednesday, there's a party from Leeds going to China next week and they need 4 shots for presents - guess what... they are 4 of my shots.



I've ordered them from Photobox as I've no time to get to ProAm, stag do this weekend.

I'm a little worried about the postal strike... so went for the courier postage. I've been saying all week that I wasnt' bothered about postal strikes and never use the service any more... ah well.

I'm not so sure where to go for frames - I've been getting the big ones done professionally, but these little ones will fir ready made ones - there's 2 10*8, an A4 and a square 8*8.

Had another shoot at the town hall last night - with Dav this time, it was amusing as he's suffering from Cropped Sensor-itis, as in we both had 17mm lenses but he was having to walk miles away to get the hall in the frame. He's working on getting his wife to let him have a 5D - I took some prints up there afterwards and I hope it's helped his cause!

I've been doing my HDR's using JPG's as it's infinitelty quicker - the colour temp hasn't always been fantastic, but when it went dark last night I decided to go "Tungsten" on the white balance - really pleased with the sky colour. A fantastic cobalt blue. This is my fave so far.


I'm after making Leeds look cool and modern, so these tones seem to give it that edge, even though alol the buildings in this shot are over 100 years old.
