Meet me at the corner

Struggling for ideas today so decided to spin by my favourite corner cinema the Hyde Park. Really a cornerstone of Leeds cultural life. This fella in the flat cap was waiting outside - it turns out for a friend of mine quite by chance. They were meeting the staff there to help them start up a local cinema club. Anywaaay I invited myself along so got a sneak view into the projection room. See extras:

Really interesting gatecrash.

Will be awol for the next few days. Got a 5 day weekend booked off work. Yay! Off camping to the Lakes. Just wanted to say thanks though for all your lovely comments on my photos from the North Yorks trip. Really very appreciated. Have a great bank holiday weekend!

Incredible, Without the car this would look like a1930s shot. Another blinding shot Alison, enjoy The Lakes.

[Louise]

Fantastic shot! That man's cap just makes it!

[reciprocity]

Amazing shot, I am loving this wide angle lens you have. What is it?

[Melissa Pike]

Super cool shot, and how neat that it turned out you knew the person he was waiting for! Funny what a small world it can be!

[AutomaticSlim]

Smashing photo with oodles of atmosphere. Having spent many happy hours in the Hyde Park this really grabbed my attention, but I've tagged it as a favourite for purely photographic reasons. Bravo!

[Arthur Loosley]

I don't know Leeds at all, but could well imagine this to be Sheffield or Derby as I remember from half a century ago. Nice evocative shot!

[Alison Tomlin]

@reciprocity Its the one which is specific for the olympus - or maybe for any micro 4/3 system? To be honest I'm not sure if I understand how the conversions are made to normal SLR focal lengths....

[Alison Tomlin]

@automaticslim Do you live in Leeds then or is this a while back?

[Alison Tomlin]

@wordpixman My mum and dad used to go "courting" in this cinema about half a century ago I guess!

[Corinne]

Have a great camping trip, Alison. I am itching to go somewhere for a mini break as the glow of latest NY trip didn't last very long - killed by the drudgery of work Ugh! Bring back lost of pics!

[MonicaE]

[Cathy]

This building has loads of character! The fella in the cap adds to the photo! Have fun this weekend!

[Clare]

Cool shot in B&W

[AutomaticSlim]

Hi Alison: this is going back a bit ... 1980s. The Hyde Park as I remember it is my idea of what a cinema should be, for all that the radiators were too hot to touch and the focus generally left a lot to be desired. I'm now based out Keighley way.

[fife]

Wow. Simply stunning!

[Jennifer C]

this is great and faved!!! Love it

[Sue]

Great b&w Alison, love the perspective.

[Jenn]

Great angle and processing! Fav :)

[Myrna O'Hara]

This is wonderful and I love that it is b&w and really crisp. My husband's grandfather who was born and lived in Wales always wore the same style hat.

[Not So Random Pics]

Brilliant composition!

[Ann Jones]

Love the subject and processing, great composition!

[Michael Elliott]

Very charming and cool shot.

[Jane Willis]

Love it :-)
