Tonight is the results of our photographic day in London! It is a real fun day but it is nice to get a bit competitive. The morning sessions theme was depth! We ask our London guide Simon to choose his top 3 and also the untrained but enthusiastic Nat!
It is really interesting what images they choose and it differs quite a lot, photography is such a personal thing. What one person likes and sees is completely different to someone else!
Nat's votes have been cast and were added to Facebook last night - I didn't feature....rude, she got some very abusive texts!
This is what Simon thought:
Depth
1st - bunting flags. Really nice control of the shallow depth of field and a strong line from the flags and the railings give a real sense of depth. Great picture.
Yay, it's mine.....got gold! Natalie :-)
2nd - view through gates to Classic Camera sign. I liked the framing provided by the gates, and the transition from light through dark and to light again. ***photo can be found on FB***
Dick, congratulations a 2nd from Simon and a bronze position from Natalie!
3rd - alleyway with bins (sounds like a Tracey Emin installation when I put it like that!). The path of sunlight provides a strong line leading you into the photo; and as in the previous image, the edge of the bars on left and right provides some nice framing. Gritty, urban photography! ***photo can be found on FB***
Dearest Auntie, you have always had a gritty, urban edge :-)
Tomorrow will be Simon's Death (Cemetary) results.....
