All that remains

Now in an advanced state of decay and due to be demolished very soon, this is all that remains of the harbour station at Folkestone, UK. It used to connect the boat trains to Europe (including the Orient Express) and played a significant role during the second world war, transporting troops across the channel to France. These historic connections are sadly not enough to preserve the site and is soon to be lost to history to make way for a new marina development.

There was no special access needed to get these two shots, I just took then through the surrounding fence.

Processed in Topaz B&W Effects and Lightroom 5.

Hell Revisited

We’re going back in time to 2008 and into the corridors of the now demolished Hellingly hospital. I was just having another sift through my back catalog and decided to do a little rework of one of my old faves. Originally processed in colour (and can be found on my “colour work” page), I thought I’d give it the mono treatment using Topaz B&W Effects. Something I didn’t have back then. I think it gives an even more dark and eerie feel.

London, Borough Market

Again I’ve been sifting through some of my older shots, this time taken on a photo trip to London, April last year. Having only posted a couple to Flickr I found a few more  that I though worthy of showing.

So here they are.

All shots converted to mono using Topaz B&W Effects 2 and Lightroom 5.

There are so many wonderful stalls that I would’ve needed a ton of cash and a huge bag to get all the things I wanted.

Thanks for stopping by.
