A staircase I’ve walked past so many times but decided to shoot one day last year. Gritty mono seems to suit the drab look.
Processed using Topaz B&W Effects 2 and Lightroom 5.

Bones
Taken while walking around a graveyard close to our holiday cottage during our visit to Northumberland.
Many of the graves were around 100 years old or more, an awful lot of them belonged to children and infants. Such was the way of life back then but still sad to see and think about.

Last cafe
This used to be the last cafe between the English and Scottish border in Northumberland. Since it’s closure, the last cafe is now a couple of miles further back up the road. I bet their sign went up pretty darn quick following this place’s demise.
No filters, processed in Photomatix Pro, Topaz B&W Effect2 and Lightroom 5.
Thanks for stopping by.
Church
Taken during our visit to Somerset, sadly I didn’t manage to get the name (One day I’ll try to look it up on Google maps).
It was one of those days where it was mostly grey and windy but interspersed with the occasional bright spell, it was just a case of waiting for the right moment. This was the best I got.

Staring at the sea
Taken one cold and windy morning a couple of weeks ago. Bexhill beach, UK.
Filters used: ND4 + ND4 Grad.
Software used: Lightroom 5, Topaz B&W Effects 2.
Tarr Steps mono
One of my Fave shots so far this year.
The contrast of light was so great that I had to bracket exposures even with my ND grads on. Blended in Photomatix then converted to mono using Topaz B&W Effect2, addition work in Lightroom 5.
Thanks for stopping by.
