Urban Walk

We went to the 'duck park' on Sunday afternoon and on the way back nipped down onto an industrial estate to see what units were down there.

It was also an opportunity for a gritty urban shot. The light was fading and the ISO bumped up a bit, but I grabbed a Ruby, Claire and Jane shot as they walked back up the hill

Edited in GIMP, with a G'MIC enhance of dynamic range and then a retro film emulation.

It might lend itself to mono, but I like the red'ish bricks and bits of grass. Oh and a Ruby being a whippet, she cannot resist a sniff of any bit of grass she walks by :)

The best look we have had of your three girls ever! I wonder if they knew you were taking it! Very nice everyday capture Lhil.

Awesome shot

[Sue Wilde]

Great grungy shot...love all the reds

[Maggiemae]

They are really striding it out up that slope. I think Ruby is not going to get even a sniff of that smell!

[Gena Pegg]

Nicely presented Phil...love that you left it in color as well. Something about bric needing to be red. What a lovely family you have!!!

[Judith Greenwood]

Monty is at one with Ruby and sniffing. I couldn't work out what was odd about this until I realised that they are walking uphill! Not used to those...

[Judith Johnson]

[Al Bailey]

I have the same struggle when processing urban shots. B&W seems to suit the subject but the tones of brick are so appealing. I like the contrast of the dark clothing (and Ruby) against the red of the brick.

I like how you all take the dog for a walk leaving you with the opertunity to get a shot or two.
