bevanimage
Very clever, Don. The lamp makes an excellent foreground for the Eye, and the distressed texture really adds atmosphere.
DonDavisUK replied
Thanks Bev. I was surprised by just how much larger the lamp appears against the eye compared to other images. Regards, Don.
Steve Chapple
I agree, clever workings after an original well structured photograph.
DonDavisUK replied
Thank you so much Steve, I’m always looking for original angles on the famous and overly photographed sites in London. Sometimes it works at other times they just look like a mess:-) LOL, but hey, that’s photography.

Matthew 6v22? Nice processing of this shot Don. I was there recently and was very taken with these lamps. How about Ps 119v105?
DonDavisUK replied 28 days ago
119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. Psalms 119:105 (NIV) That’s very good. However, I’ve already used that verse on this one.
There is always something new to see in London or a least a new way of seeing the familiar. Thanks very much for the kind words my friend. Don.

Hello, Don, I hope everything will be allright. The problem could be due to a cold ….. or maybe not enough fluids drunk. Wish you all the best, waiting for more of your wonderful work! :

I have never seen this lamp before, this is why I love Redbubble, I get to see corners of the world that I’ll never get to visit. Your use of HDR is great not to heavy handed. Are you using photomatrix?
DonDavisUK replied 7 days ago
WOW! Awesome Walt, thank you so much for those wonderful words my friend. Yes I used Photomatrix Pro, but I’ve found that if you take a number of exposures then the results are less cartoon like and you get some wonderful tones out of lack-luster images. Don.
