The photograph above looks to the east through the Stevenson & Cheyne engineering works beside the Water of Leith at Bonnington.

Here is the original photo that I took.

The scene looked very green because of the old fluorescent lighting used to illuminate much of the works.  Adding a filter to remove the green cast was not very successful as it introduced an 'artificial' tints to areas that were lit by daylight.

The sepia image can be seen at the top of this page.
