Manchester 14 February

[Paul Zietsman]

With a sunny day in the forecast, I headed out to 23L on Tuesday. It was a great day to be out. Although it was misty and the sun gods did not smile for very long, I was not too disappointed with the light overall. I am getting comfortable with the R7. It handles well but in bad light conditions it can be easy to introduce noise with the shadows adjustment in Camera Raw.

There were no directional changes, and 23L remained in operation until 10:30. Here are a few of the shots taken - in time sequence so you can see the light changing:
