CMK this evening

Since the current PU Photo competiton is Modern Buildings I took an hour out for a wander in Central Milton Keynes this evening.

I don't shoot architecture so CC is welcome please.

Wow, you have a cracking set here. Like them very much.

A very good set, without knowing the area it's a bit hard to comment, but:

For me #1 & #2 are very good (I prefer the mono version though), #3 is good and for me probably wouldn't work in colour (converging verticals would spoil it without the graphic impact of the mono). #4 is better than #5 (again down to the 'falling-over-backwards' feel that the mono seems to work around). #6 is very good (only spoiled by the very obvious 'Harvester' signs - not a lot you can do about them). #7 would be better without the leftmost lamp post I think.

The processing (particularly the mono) looks excellent.

John.

Why ??
Wow just imagine if people only made comments on photos of places they know, this forum would be nothing but F.S. , W.T.B. and the odd tech geek threads.

Beautiful pics by the way 😄

Jim.

Thanks for the feedback chaps.
I like the first and last shots the most, which is unusual as I have a penchant for mono.

These images are very good. Being honest, they are not my cup of tea as they are not natural looking enough (are they HDR?), but I can appreciate their quality.

Regards
David

Great set especially given you don't normally shoot architecture! I think the first image works best for me - and I prefer the colour version to the mono. The interplay of the angular building and the fluffy clouds makes it more interesting to me - but I'd prefer to lose the sharpening halos.

Cheers,

Jon

As a complete novice I need to learn to be less aggressive with my processing, so thanks for the advice. I'll see if I can remove those halo effects from some of the shots.

In the meantime here's a few more from Wednesday evening, with less processing.

The haloing is the only thing that's holding back the first two shots PapaL

Last one works well

Your my wife now loved that show

I like the impact of these even though some of the verticals
are converging a bit too severely for my liking. This is made
worse by quite a lot of aliasing (jaggies) and I'm surprised
no one else has noticed that. It could be due to PP or the
K-5 IIS ? Look at the RHS bottom of the 1st shot.
