Leith B&W Series-4
Originally uploaded by Rick Stirling.
Whilst off, I took the camera to Leith docks again, even though I felt that I had totally exhausted that area. I used a neutral density filter to add some darkness into the scene and shot in black and white all afternoon.
I wish that Adobe Lightroom had a good facility to add film grain to images, at the moment I have to export them to Photoshop to add that.

A view of Prague from the Karlov Most (Charles Bridge), Prague, Czech Republic at about 7am.
I used a Neutral Density filter (ND4) shooting almost staring into the sun.
Cropped twice now, I’m much happier with it.

This is a closer shot of the entrance to the Helter Skelter. I didn’t take a tripod with me, and didn’t use flash, so I got one good shot from about 4 that I took.
This was the sharpest shot, but I preferred the lighting in one of the more blurry shots, I tweaked it in Lightroom just to match the colours and brightness to the blurry one.
