Day 140 - man heading for a beer

Snapped with the camera phone on my way home using the Polaroid filter of FX Camera for Android.

Day 125 - Old Leeds

Snapped on the way to work, I liked the triangle of people in black across the middle.  When I saw the "old Leeds" story on the board I decided to give it an aged look.  I used the mono high contrast option with vignette in the toycam setting on fxcamera for Android, then added some sepia tint and a softening round the edges in Gimp.

Day 20 - Huddersfield Station

I've never tried much night time photography, but this photo 365 is supposed to be about learning by trying new things.  I've always thought Huddersfield train station was an impressive building, but struggled to find an interesting photo of it.  This is certainly my best look at it so far...
This was 1.3s at f/5.6 with the Sigma lens wide at 10mm.  I'm fairly happy with the amount of motion  blur and contrast with the people standing still, but the station isn't perfectly straight, so perhaps this is one to try again.

Day 14

I had a busy day on the 14th, with a longer than usual journey to work as a result of the ice and a bashed up car.  Fortunately, the walk to the station gave me chance to pop the camera out and snap some more snow.  Thankfully, the Council had decided to leave some subject matter lying around for me.

I took this in Slaithwaite using the ambient street light above and car lights approaching from the right to get a bit of shape on the bins and bags.  I had to go up to iso 1600 at f/1.8 to get a 1/50s exposure, which was just about ok for my cold shaky hands, but did give a lot of noise on the Nikon D50.  Let's call it artistically grainy, shall we?
