Redcliffe Wharf

Click to embiggen - Comment at flickr.com

Photoblog: 07 Mar 2007

Galleries: Bristol > Floating Harbour

Redcliffe Wharf and Welsh Back on Bristol's Floating Harbour, taken from Redcliffe Bridge. On the right are the old warehouses of Redcliffe, now mostly luxuary appartments and offices. On the left, mostly out of shot, are the student halls -- I'm sure UWE are sitting on a fortune there. They must have bought those buildings up back when derelict industry and the harbour itself was seen as an opportunity for demolition and paving over, rather than an opertunity for more generic appartments. In the distance, partly hidden, is Bristol Bridge, on the site of the first crossing of the River. I think the spire is St Nicholas'.

Thanks for all the comments and faves! I didn't think this was the best of the evening, let alone one of the best ever! But it shot up to #3 in interestingness for Bristol, and #12 overall. Just goes to show, correcting the white ballance isn't always worth it!

Joe, I have to say that this is my favourite of the two! -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)

Yeah. I think the biggest problem with the other is underexposure (they're two different shots, rather than different processing of one). I've been playing some more in PS, but I'm not happy with it yet.

This is beautiful! I love the golden tones. If you're looking for something to help with exposure in PS (not for this photo, which looks great, but per your comment above), try Power Retouche. I use it quite often.

Thanks, but I've already made another version using the raw file, from which a lot more can be squeezed. The first version was from a smaller JPEG made automatically by Nikon's software without prior adjustments.

Very nice night shot! Colour and framing are good, and the clarity of the details on the buildings is great.

Oops, I never answered dgjean's question. This is the Nikkor 18-200 3.5-5.6 DX. 3sec, f4.8, 48mm. I don't usually tend to go for such short exposures at night, but the bridge bounces slightly when heavy vehicles go over it, so I wanted to get the shot before the next bus came past. Thanks everyone. This has rapidly shot up to third most interesting shot of Bristol (though not really a top three favourite of mine), and 12th overall.

The white balance is so wrong it works! Was this taken on a hazy warm summer night? -- Seen in your Interesting Bristol set. (?)

Joe Dunckley

quite the opposite: the white balance is indeed not quite right, but it's not so wrong -- the colours are actually the effect of the street lights in misty winter air.
