Death Star Standby To Launch

Despite looking a little like a starfighter launch tube or Missile Silo this is actually a more mundane exit ramp for a car park. I had seen a few similar pictures of this location but it was not too clear where it was not helped by there being two an exit with the pipes and an entrance without. The location is very close to West India Quay DLR Station on Hertsmere Road with the pedestrian entrance being just before Cineworld. I took the lift to the top and then walked down the ramp to get this shot while ignoring the no pedestrians allowed sign and being very careful to stay out of the way of cars coming down the ramp

 

The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20mm lens at 10 mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing processed with Photomatix Fusion Real Estate setting for a natural look. Topaz Clarity was also used to bring in more detail. The image may look mono but it is actually the original colour, what there is of it.
