Summary of Architecture

  1. Climber

    Climber

    More steps, but this time in colour!

  2. Holga_Cov_cathedral

    The world of the Holga

    OK, this is what I get with my Holga – I think I need more practice.

  3. Leamington Street stairs

    My first foray into film

    My first attempt at film photography has had mixed results!

  4. Stairs - Coventry

    Coventry or Avignon

    Different church, different country, but they both have steps to a door halfway up the wall – this is the Holy Trinity Church in Coventry.

  5. Shaft of Light

    Shaft of Light

    I had photographed around here before, but not from this side of the water; as expected I got a totally different picture.

  6. London Steps

    Yes, more steps, this being my favourite photo taken on a recent tweet-up in London.

  7. stairs coloured

    Stairs (yes more of them)

    Black and White or Colour – at first it seems obvious, but, on reflection…

  8. Sense of scale

    Tourists, tourists everywhere – they definitely don’t aid some photos (she said somewhat hypocritically).

  9. Stairs crop

    Stairs

    When is a lot of contrast too much contrast? And, am I becoming obsessed with steps.

  10. Avignon tourist shot

    No apologies for a tourist shot, it reminds me of the day I took it – short and simple.

  11. Reflections

    Sometimes the reflections make a more interesting shot than the original subject.

  12. Doorway

    There were lots of large doors and impressive stairways around the Palais des Papes in Avignon, but this one caught my eye.

  13. Battlements

    Sometimes small sections of a scene can provide more interest than the whole picture.

  14. Old and New Juxtaposition

    I liked the contrast between the old and new and the dark and light, as well as the crisp lines of the modern balconies and their shadows.

  15. Old and New Juxtasposition

    Window Light

    Taking photos in a tourist city without including tourists and armed with a 50mm lens required a rethink of the type of pictures I should take. However, being a bit slow on the photographic uptake, this took some time and a lot of bad photos.

  16. Great Brington Churchyard

    Quiet, peaceful relaxing, and full of life – just how a churchyard should be.

  17. Graffiti

    Colour, lines, shape, reflections, context… I think I got them all as well as capturing the feeling of the area.

  18. Power

    Power

    Set subject competitions can be good, but there is a temptation to take an obvious shot.

  19. Reflections-2

    Industrial Reflections

    A typical black and white, abandoned Britain, urban decay type shot – taken underneath Spaghetti Junction.

  20. failed poppy shot

    Foreground

    I am quite shy when it comes to showing my photos to actual, real-life photographers, particularly in their naked in-camera state. However, unless you are willing to show them, there is no chance of criticism and actual improvement – one comment resulted in me taking one of my favourite photos of the day and was the concept behind a few other shots I liked as well.

  21. Reflections

    Too busy or full of interesting details – depends on your perspective.

  22. Looking through the window

    Sculptures can be taken again and again – by their very nature they are not likely to move anywhere (unless they are part of a temporary exhibition)

  23. Stone Walls

    Stone Walls

    The camera club project this year is not overly inspiring, I do not have any intention of taking part, but, if I did…………

  24. X marks the spot

    X marks the spot

    More lines, this time diagonal with reflections and a circle thrown in for good measure.

  25. Not quite a textbook case

    Two points in a photo should create some tension, but only if positioned correctly.

  26. Verticals

    Lines

    Vertical lines, horizontal lines, rectangles, they are all there in this incredibly neat industrial unit.

  27. Daventry after the fire

    Burnt Out

    Finding something to photograph in an area that you think you know well can be difficult, but sometimes it pays to just start taking photos of things that might be interesting.

  28. Pugin's Church, Rugby

    Architecture Project

    Trying to find inspiration for a Club Project on Architecture is proving something of a challenge.
