I really like #1. I think the PP is very nice looking.

I am guessing : shot digital- color, converted to B&W, then PP. But whatever it was nice shot/work. :thumbup:

Thanks guys. Im going back to shoot Southwark station next weekend. I got in contact with LU Film Office for a pass. The station was closed ... 2am so thats why there were no people, it creepy on your own though !!!

I used my 24mm Tilt Shift lens on the 5DMk2 but in a slightly different way to the norm ... I took a straight on shot, then shifted the lens to the left for another, then rotated the lens 360 taking shots every section. If you've used a TS the you'll know what I mean ... Im just crap at explaining.

This gives me 14 wide angle shots that are stitched together with CS4. The final image size is 90cm x 60cm / 365mb @300dpi, so theres loads of spec to make it even larger lol I could have used the 14mm but I dont like the distortion that lens gives. With the TS all the lines are straight.

I used Photomatix for the HDR conversion and then Silver Efex Pro for the B&W. Then just used a bit of dodge + burn
