title
Hot Town: Summer in the City
#1 - Haze and heat in the Upper Reaches of Kensington Gardens, London.
#2 - Reading the Sun, Hyde Park, London.
#3 - Stock Broker on his Lunch Break, Trinity Square, The City, London.
#4 - Ice Cream on the Steps of the Albert Memorial, Kensington, London.
#5 - Toddler by the Pool, Coram's Fields, Bloomsbury, London.
All the photographs he is submitting for consideration in the 2017 Neutral Density Photography Awards Competition were made on black & white film with 35mm still cameras. He has spent the past few years digitizing the original negatives at 4000dpi, and processing the images through Photoshop for spotting, cropping, and exposure adjustments.
Most of these images have never been exhibited publicly, but early last year Smith began to enter various photo contests in the U.S., and feels he's had modest success in this endeavor.
