Photos of Phones and Phonographs (occasionally)

High up

This is Royal Fort House in Bristol, as seen from the top of the Physics Tower.  This is my first real attempt at “tilt-shift” post processing, it sort of works I suppose.  It looks more like I’ve got greasy fingerprints on my lens than the intended “model village” thing.   Still, it was more successful than my panorama stitching attempt from the same shoot.

Being the physics building, they’re also got a radio telescope.  Rah!

I was going to take some photos of the warning signs on the side of their small scale linear accelerator, but I thought that was probably better left alone.

    Actually I looked at the photos before I read the words and my instinct was “ey up, that looks like a model”. Then I thought “ohh, Paul must have done that thing where it looks like a model”.

    So I guess your post-processing worked better than you thought :)

    And I’m guessing that the reason your panorama didn’t go to plan is because my head was in it?! :P

    I was trying to stitch the panoramas manually in gimp, and the scene was just too busy. I’ve now installed Hugin and am trying auto-stitching instead…
