Supermarket

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 26 May 2011 in Architecture and Portfolio.

The glass entrance to the (newish) supermarket in South Shields town centre.
It was opened by actress Katherine Kelly who plays Becky MacDonald in the TV series "Coronation Street", which is pretty appropriate as the store is located in our own Coronation Street. The town's oldest church St. Hilda's is visible through the glass at the rear.

HDR tone mapped in Photomatix Pro 4.

I have a huge amount of new material to show, including a whole pile of pictures taken at Jarrow's Medieval Fayre last Sunday, so I'm in a pickle as to how to show them. I probably won't show them as a series in case you all get a little bored at the length of it. So I'll just mix them in as and when they are ready.

PENTAX K100D 1/125 second F/5.6 ISO 200 18 mm

Tone mapping suits so well to modern architecture. It really delivers something fairy to places and setting (fairy is maybe a strong word)... let say that is more lively and friendly. Great process as usual.
