Birmingham at night

[Stravinsky]

Just some shots of a wet cold Birmingham where I took my photo group last night.  Trouble is, we all get in the way of each other.  Couldn't avoid ghosting figures in one shot, so going back on my own soon.  The tunnel was closed lasy year when Steven Spielberg used it for filming for one of his films. The fire effects are created using wire wool and magnesium and a very brave person who swings it around his head

Nice bunch of night shots here.  My preference would be for the first one.

Thanks, With all the wire wanging that was going on, I actually like no1 the best myself

Probably just me but I have never been into wire wool shots.

There s an incredible brutal beauty here Stravinsky.....I would prefer them not to have the wire wool though.....the first is a very real winner for me.

More like it please.

Nice set of images. I actually like the wire wool shots, especially that second shot.

It's actually more a means to an end .... it gets people out and they spent a good deal of time taking architectural shots on the way down to the tunnel.

An interesting set Stravinsky .... my favourite is the 2nd image ...... I really like that ...It has a feel of focus in an eye  with the shape of the reflected tunnels arch ... .. I find the composition both clever and pretty memorable ... .

Thanks ... shame there were people milling about.  I managed to remove some, but ghosts still remain.  I'm going back there in a few days to get some clean shots

Look forward to seeing the “clean shots” Strav.

First two for me.  I like the finish which stands in it's own right.  The wire is spectacular in its own way but it detracts in this setting for me.  However of the wire shots, the 4th image works best.
