Here is another "digital manipulation" (aka colorized--er,...colourized--in Ps).
This is the Aurora Avenue Bridge in Seattle, Washington. I used an Olympus XA2 with Fomapan 400 film. I've included the original image for comparison.
Original:
I was in the window seat on a night time flight somewhere over a Midwestern (USA) city some years ago. I thought I'd try to get an image of the lights on the ground so I steadied my camera on the windowsill and pressed the shutter button. At that moment the air got a little bumpy.

I don't often select a window seat and I'm guessing I had no choice on this flight. Had my Olympus XA2 with me loaded with Fomapan 400 film.
Processed in Cinestill DF96 Monobath and scanned on an Epson V500. Forgot about the (star)dust.
I was standing a few metres away from these two lads and I was lining up a shot of the Old Seelbach Hotel. As I was framing the image I heard "Hey come take our picture, man," and such like heckling. I never let on initially, preferring to frame and snap my picture. But then I glanced over and...
