Anywhere

It could be Rotterdam, or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome – another bland stereotypical modern, soulless shopping mall.

Nighttime Dublin 2012

31/08/2023 Bob McEvoy

This shot was part of a commercial shoot, back in 2012, to illustrate lighting facilities on railway platforms. It was originally shot in colour, and with a much wider angle, but to satisfy my black and white obsession, and to focus more upon the people in the shot rather than the original commission, I desaturated it in Photoshop (actually in Camera Raw) and cropped the image to achieve a more people orientated image. Did it work?

Photographed with a Nikon F700, F=24mm, f/16 @ 1 second exposure, on ISO3200. The camera was on a tripod.

Royal Enfield Classic 350

A modern classic

I found this 2022 built motorcycle parked in Belfast today, – and I was transported back in my mind to the early 1970’s when I rode a Royal Enfield, – not dissimilar in style and shape to this beauty.
