#ECK #PostProcess My first attempt at this week’s post-process challenge. Finding stillness in the shadows. #Silence #ClassicMono
A dimly lit road curves uphill between dark silhouetted buildings to the right and a mountain rising to the left. Street lights illuminate the road with a silhouette of a tree standing on the horizon beneath a dusky sky.

Lightroom edits - cropped the image, adjusted the colour gradient to monochrome with a hint of sepia, removed the minor mark at the bottom of the road, added a series of masks to adjust the lighting of the surrounding buildings, mountain, and sky to create a more distinct silhouette.

Some personal news. I’ve been working on a PhD thesis for some time, and it’s submission day next week 🫣 So it’s all work and no camera fun for me at the moment. Wish me luck in the final countdown. In the meantime, here is a placeholder. ALT. #classicmono #scape
Black and white skyline photograph of the City of London, nicknamed the Square Mile. Taken from Waterloo Bridge (2026). With a few boats on the River Thames in the foreground, St Paul’s Cathedral to the left, the Walkie Talkie to the right, and the Cheesegrater hiding in the middle. You gotta love London just for the quirky building names.

With 30 minutes to go until the end of #palacesandgardens #childhood (around the same time as one side of one of these would take)… Hanging on a pub wall somewhere in the Midlands, I think. I took it so long ago, I can’t remember! Not a palace or garden but my childhood in a frame.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDark Reasons to love London's South Bank at night. 2. Brutalist illumination. The National Theatre, designed by Denys Lasdun in 1976. The concrete walls were formed using board-marked moulds, leaving a beautiful wood-grain texture on the surface. #ECK #urbangaze
Colour photograph taken at night looking at the front facade of the National Theatre on the South Bank in London as a small crowd of people walk towards the entrance ahead of a show that is scheduled to begin. 

The theatre's name is illuminated on the over-hanging Weston Terrace on the first floor, with downlights marking out the upper levels that wrap around the building.

Two large fly towers sit at the top, lit up in pink. These are tall concrete blocks which house the rigging, lighting, and scenery equipment directly above the theatre's auditoriums.
