Monochrome street photography in the Steel City

I found myself this morning with an unexpected day off work so I decided to have a trip around Sheffield city centre with an iPhone 12 Pro Max for company. I shot these in the Apple ProRes format and messed with them a little in Photoshop. I am by no means a "pro" at street photography but it's good to practice outside of one's own comfort zone!

Hussle...

It turns out that the cameras on the 12 Pro Max are close to one edge, so when rested on stone it creates this abstract effect I quite liked. It would have been nice to have a glamorous blonde walk by but I'll settle for the Amazon delivery guy and this lady....

Selfie...

This is my reflection in a silver coloured 5ft water feature in the shape of a ball with water running around the sides creating an abstract effect.

Composition fail?

I set myself the challenge of capturing people in the shots to create a sense of scale and add a human element.

Looky uppy shot

There's never an airplane flying in to my composition when I want one...

Sheffield under re-development

Quite a bit of Sheffield city centre is being re-developed where the frontage of the Victorian buildings is being retained but with modern interiors. It looks like a mess so far!

This stop is not in use

I've never noticed the grime and dirt on the roof of this bus stop; when viewing in mono it becomes way more prominent

I love the Looky uppy shot

Looking up at the buildings and sky is my favorite of this group. Nice work on them all. Thanks for sharing.
