The shot I entered in my previous post has been deleted, this is a re-edit hope this does not break any rules, if so disregard this image.



British Heritge by SFB579 , on Flickr

Pimm, a farmer's son from Kent, became the owner of an oyster bar in the City of London, near the Bank of England. He offered the tonic (a gin-based drink containing quinine and a secret mixture of herbs) as an aid to digestion, serving it in a small tankard known as a "No. 1 Cup", hence its subsequent name. Pimm's began large-scale production in 1851 to keep up with sales to other bars. The distillery began selling it commercially in 1859 using hawkers on bicycles. In 1865, Pimm sold the business and the right to use his name to Frederick Sawyer. In 1880, the business was acquired by future Lord Mayor of London Horatio Davies, and a chain of Pimm's Oyster Houses was franchised in 1887

Interesting thanks for that.

It's very much dependent on the scene your shooting, bright sun, high dynamic range of the scene ect. You have too asses which mode of exposure, spot average or center weighted. I usually use average and it's fine with my usual -1 stop. You could always use exposure bracketing set to -1, 0, +1

I usually set exposure compensation to between -0.7 and -1 stop, if your not happy with the exposure set yours to +1 stop. If you shoot raw files you can alter exposure in post processing.

Yes it seems that every old building in Leeds is being converted.

A fine piece of engineering well captured, love the last shot of the bunch.

Thought I would run this through Toapaz adjust 4's HDR filter, I quite like it.
