Trip to the Library

I started working on this photograph :




I already had 3 hours of footage but the quality of the picture was really bad. After our presentation in university I went to Waterstones in order to find some old photos of Birmingham in books. I particularly liked Alton Douglas photography books. They were quite expensive so I went to The Library of Birmingham and found a small section called Photobooks of Birmingham. I went though a lot of books but not many of them had what I needed. The most useful book was Central Birmingham Through Time by Eric Armstrong and Vernon Frost. 
 I found one photo that I really liked and wanted to scan it into a computer but the library did not had these facilities. So I came back here the next day with my photo camera and here is the result :


Unfortunately, it does not say anything about the photo itself in the description billow. At least I know that the photo is from early 1900's as Victorian Square still has 3 sculptures (in 1912 there is only one left). I took this photo in RAW and fixed it up in the Photoshop later on. It has much better quality then the one I am using now and if I wont find a better photograph I will use this one for my final video.
