Agfa Record III. Fuji Reala
I understand these new-fangled digital cameras are getting better at this sort of thing. But really, negative film is the king of the high contrast scene. Not only are the things on the bridge not silhouettes, they even have nice tonality and colour.
Artistically, I like the atmosphere in this image.

Agfa Record III. Fuji Reala
I was working in London whilst the Jubilee Line extension was being constructed in preparation for the millennium celebrations. I still remember the first time I traveled to Canary Wharf station. It struck me as something like an underground modernist cathedral.
Incidentally, if the colour appears different here there is a reason. I have been further refining my profiling for colour negative film. Results like this make me think I'm getting somewhere. Pay attention particularly to the various skin tones in the image, natural colours like the tan leather handbag, difficult colours like the indigo-ish blue of the Underground sign and the many neutral or near-neutral blacks and dark greys.
Still impressed with what a detailed frame that little pocketable sixty year old folding camera can crank out.
