Took some pics today of the angel on the way to a car detailing openday. I like this one the best. I put the RAW image through Oloneo PhotoEngine to Tonemap it.

Hi Philip
Like it.
Very strong oblique lines there - straight away the thought of climbing comes into my mind, but particularly like the wing.
Certainly is different take on it.
Well done √

Thanks alot Charles. I took loads of pictures but theres so many idiot tourists there getting in the way!:shake: Its not that high in comparison to the wingspan. At the other angles i shot it i found i couldnt quite get the tip of both wings in. Maybe i needed a 10-20 or sumic.

Wow, i'm taking that compliment! Like you say theres stacks of pictures of it so i tried to do some of the foot close up but theres so many people there getting photos taken its nigh on impossible! There was even a couple there shouting at each other as the guy wanted his photo taken and his wife either couldnt work the camera or wasnt taking the shot how he wanted it so he was shouting down the hill at her until a full on domestic happened. Quite good viewing :LOL:

Thanks alot. As i mentioned above i wanted to take a different approach and my main reason is theres a competition on the car detailing forum i use called Detailing World. The theme was METAL. A fellow geordie had done the Tyne Bridge and as i was heading to an openday near Durham i had the idea of goin to the Angel on the way. I definetely feel im making progress with this photography malarky and i love (trying) to use Photoshop and Oloneo Photo Engine. I do find i go ott most times though but i suppose its down to taste. Infact ive just figured out how to use the clone tool and remove some people from around the foot. Well pleased with myself!:D
Thanks for the knid comments everyone.:)

Ha ha, thanks. Have you seen the angel in full?

Driven past it a few times as the eldest was up in Northumbria Uni - not got close, keep meaning to

Sounds like it's worth the visit for the tourists alone :D

I really like your shot here, the angle and framing are both great and I'm a freak for rusty textures but the software has gone a bit OTT on the sky for me. The shot is plenty strong enough to stand on it's own legs without that distraction in my book.

I love your angle but the blue saturation needs to be tweeked down a bit.

The sky looks like a swimming pool.

I don't normally like overcooked HDR but this is interesting.
