Staines to Slough and back

In the last week I've been staying at a hotel in Slough. The journey to Staines, where I'm on contract with British Gas redesigning their debt collection service, has taken me through Old Windsor and Runnymede each day.

These wonderful Toll Houses mark the Staines / Egham end of Runnymede and I'd been waiting for the right sky and lighting conditions to make my capture. That finally came together on Wednesday and I made these shots.

I used my lens at the wide angle end of the zoom to try to enhance the drama of the scene. It was not so easy to correct it to a final comp I was happy with but, with a bit of this and that in the digital darkroom, I think I got there in the end.
