A week of illness has pretty much wrecked an overly busy schedule but anyway moving on and today is Grand National Day at Aintree Race Course, Liverpool - so here is a pic taken from over head (which has totally nothing to do with this posting).
Right, here we go with small selection of tilt-shift pictures taken from the plane around the Manchester and Bolton area, hope you enjoy.
First off Barton Bridge, Manchester with the sewage farm in all its glory
and another day another angle of Barton Bridge.
Manchester
Reebok Stadium, Bolton
Horwich, near Bolton, funky motorway junction - not sure what was going on this day but being the junction for Horwich, The Reebok, Blackrod and Westhoughton it's normally back to back traffic.
Deane Road and Haslam Park, Bolton
Moss Bank Park, Bolton
Bolton, Town Centre and Town Hall
Chequerbent Roundabout, Westhoughton, near Bolton
I'm always on the look out for plant hire type places, such as these
A circus comes to town, Reebok Stadium
Final shot, The Trafford Centre, Manchester.
Thanks for looking, normal service to be resumed shortly.
I hate tilt shift.
ReplyDeleteMakes things look stupid.
they've even started putting it in tv programs.
It's a big faddy pile of cack.
My last comment may have been a bit too harsh.
ReplyDeleteI still hate tilt shift, it is cack.
But your actual photography is very very good.
I just believe it would look better without the tiltshit.
I love these photos, mazing!
ReplyDeleteShame you've used a crummy auto tilt-shift banding effect, it doesn't look at all natural towards how the photograph would be taken.. some objects that remain exactly the same distance are split with blur in the middle.
ReplyDeleteReally nice original photos, but definitely let down with the quick-fix tilt-shift.
still learning - thanks for the input
ReplyDeleteMay I ask, are you the pilot as well as the photographer? If so,you are a multi-talented git, in the nicest possible way of course. Love the shots. Hopefully I can try to replicate your success this year as I intend to start studying for my PPL. Coincidentally, Barton is my nearest airfield.
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm not the pilot - I don't have the money or the time. I bum a lift off a guy (old school friend)at Barton. The pilot has a cancer donation page on Justgiving and £25 normally gets you an hour or 4 in his spare seat. He's building up to a single handed around the world trip for Clatterbridge Centre for Cancer Care. Thanks for the feedback and good luck with the PPL !
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Sounds like a good friend to have. Keep up the good work.
DeleteAll the pics look like part of a model train layout
