Nottingham, but was held to leave there virtually on time, allowing the shadows to lengthen and ruin what would have been a nice bonus shot as I'd planned not to bother with the return train
as I thought its booked timings were just too late for the shadows! As you can probably tell this shot has had a bit of 'shadow/highlight' in PS. |
