Lines and Shadows Poplar Overbridge

A shot taken on my last trip to London a few weeks ago. This is one of my favourite shooting locations in London. It is at the Poplar Docklands Light Railway next to the Canary Wharf Financial District. It was a beautiful day with clear blue skies and I timed my arrival for a low sun to gain the shadows in the scene. The bridge connects platforms and is very popular with Photographers.

 

The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Samyang 8mm Fisheye lens. 3 raw images 2EV spacing processed with Photomatix Fusion Real Estate setting for a natural look. a little Noise was removed with Nik Define. Then I used Topaz Clarity and then a brightness adjustment layer for selective reduction of highlights with a layer mask. Mono conversion was done with Topaz B&W Effects. Crop to remove a distracting door on the right edge.
