What I love about walking around in London, is that no again you will find a narrow, dark and cobbled street and it is these streets that make me feel like you are in London. Clink Street just has the old London feel to it. 

I took this shot because I loved how the street lights gave a perfect leading line coming out the tunnel. I knew straight away that I wanted to give the photo an old school feel to it but on my first edit I just could not get it right, I felt like there was something missing. My thought was to go back and get people in a motion blur to give it the ghost like effect, I did that it I was still not happy, but that is just me being picky. I think what it needs in terms of people is maybe people in suits or some sort of formal wear…maybe going back there during the day when everyone is suited a booted…

I tried several times to get the colour right but what I thought was right just did not look right despite being told it does look like a old photo. I did some research on what the colour should look like and with the help of my new SLR Lounge presets system I began to play away until I go this image. I did reduced the blacks a bit more because I just wanted some of the people to be seen/lit by the street lights and brought the vignetting in as far as I could without taking out the light in the middle.
