When I took these images, the weather was largely grey and cloudy so I wanted to ensure that this did not make them boring. Therefore I used the Black and White tool in a lot of them, similar to the style of my artists who have photographed the city fairly widely. In the post-rain sky, there were a lot of blues and purples and I wanted to make sure these were highlighted, and for images taken by night, I wanted to highlight the skyline and its tiny distant lights. I am happy with how this turned out but I do think the weather could have been better at the time.

The original image is nice because of its colouring but I felt that it would benefit from a black and white filter to make it more dramatic, especially after rain.

I think that the final outcome is good because its contrast creates a dramatic cloudscape and has a cinematic feel to it.
