Photoblog: 23 Mar 2007

St Peter's Church, in central Bristol, was badly damaged by bombing in WWII. Surrounding mediaeval and victorian buildings were cleared, but the church has been propped up with concrete and steel. The plot was never redeveloped, and is now a park. Over christmas 2006 a ferris wheel came to town to entertain shoppers at the nearby Broadmead shopping centre.

Still playing with channel mixer. Not sure about this one, picked up quite a few artifacts in all the processing...

Update: wow, I'm shocked at how popular this one turned out to be, I thought the other b&ws were far superior!

joe,this is an interesting shot.......your b/w pics are really good .....on this 1 i would have duplicated the background layer and used transform distort to straighten the lines at the right hand side of the pic as it seems a little unbalanced at that side......im growing more of a stickler for straight lines(please take this the right way,i dont mean any offence ,just offering a little constructive criticism)
