Mr. Magic Hour strikes again!

Norton Cemetary, Sheffield, UK

Isn’t Sheffield brilliant! In cinematography, “Magic Hour” or “Golden Hour” is that time of day when the sun is low in the sky and produces warm tones with low contrast shadows.

Graves Park, Leeshall Wood & Norton Lees Golf Course, Sheffield, UK

These were all taken close to where I live, and I’ve shot these places many times. However, it’s hard to resist given such fantastic conditions.

Carr Wood & Graves Park, Sheffield, UK

Some of these are single shots, adjusted to create silhouettes, and the others are high dynamic range (HDR), processed with Photomatix Pro from 3 exposures. Lots more photos of Sheffield and many other places on my Flickr account.

If Rotherham is the new Berlin, then Barnsley is the new Barcelona.

I stumbled upon Gateway Plaza in Barnsley, UK, a new mixed use development of residential and commercial space. This images is derived from a triple exposure and post-processed with Photomatix, Photoshop and Topaz Adjust, although it seems to have lost some colour depth once uploaded to WordPress.
