Through the backstreets of a Yorkshire mining Town
The backstreets of Grimethorpe,an old Yorkshire mining town, home of the famous brass band. I was contemplating taking this shot as i wandered back from my lunch, then the old lady walked in front of me and down the street, that made it for me.

Oh beautiful! I expect to see Billy Eliot dancing around! Lovely muted toning and I like the way my eye wanders up the street.

excellent dave i like this a lot but feel you should have pushed the old dame more into the centre of the frame.
Dave Warren replied
Thanks for the comment, i agree it would have been nice if she had walked down the centre

Awsome image Dave… the old girl really makes it!
Paul Woloschuk
A wonderful image. It captures a moment in time, and is a real social document to boot!
Kate Adams
Hi Dave! you nailed this one for me, this is exactly as I remember the St where I lived while my dad worked down the coal mine, I felt as though I had just stepped back in time and nothing has changed since the day I left England. A wonderful capture, the old lady was the perfect addition.

Beautiful treatment Dave!!.. excellent..

Yep, the old lady clinched it. Fabulous gold tones and a terrific sky… love the glow on the brickwork at the right. I’ve seen a lot of HDR’s that are really over the top but this is HDR utilised to perfection.

Hi Dave, you did the right thing don’t miss a thing if you cane help it, reminds me of home a long time ago I’m from a mining village in Northumberland but ours was never as clean as this, I thing this would make a great mono image to bring out the grit and grim, not sure about the dreaded HDR

What a great shot, for me being a northerner you have captured a “snapshot” of everyday life that many of can relate to.

Your HDR work is sensational, the textures, light and depth of field are extraordinary! For me, the elderly woman is in the perfect place within the frame. It is a beautiful image!
