Derelict Torr Vale Mill. New Mills, Derbyshire, United Kingdom.
This the same mill I as in yesterday’s POTD but photographed from a different angle. I haven’t converted this shot to sepia because I think it works in colour. Mainly due to the fact that shooting from this angle gave me a blue sky behind the chimney.
Also note in this photo that I have used the road/track as a lead-in the image.
With hindsight I wonder if I should have framed the image with the chimney more to the left rather than in the middle of the frame?
Ian, the chimney looks slightly crooked. You might want to use distort > “lens correction” in photoshop CS3 or CS4 to pull it straight.
Hi Stephen, Thanks for the comment. I can see what you mean I’ve now run it through PTLens to correct for lens distortion and updated the image on my POTD website. Too late for Alamy though as it has already been uploaded to them. Ian
