Summary of Urban

1. 

   The world of the Holga

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

   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.

   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.

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

   Borough Market

   Designed to appeal to those with a sweet tooth; meringues at Borough Market.

6. Reflections

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

   One of my few attempts at Street Photography.

   Nimes – Jardin des Fontaines

   If a photo reminds you of the feelings that you had when you took it, then it must be considered to be a good photo.

9. Battlements

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

10. 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.

11. Graffiti

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

    Lying around

    Out of the 300 plus photos I am ashamed to admit that I took on an urban landscapes photo course, this is my favourite for both composition, subject matter and general feel.

    Power

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

    Reclamation

    The effect is as I wished, and started me on a mission to look for areas where nature is reclaiming back land from man, but I should never have made such a schoolboy error with the aperture.

    Industrial Reflections

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

    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.

    Through the Bolthole

    The first of a series of photos from an Urban Photography course. I found it difficult to find pictures that I would normally take when in a completely unfamiliar environment, but this is closer to my usual style.

    Empty Seats

    A warm spring day, but an empty square.

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

    Misty

    Fog and mist can add an air of gloom or stillness to a Spring morning.

21. 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)

    Back Streets

    Wandering around away from the madding crowd brings its own rewards, particularly if you don’t want to have people in your photos.

    In a world where there are so many people, some things just stand out.

    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…………

    Street Photography

    Today I moved out of my comfort zone and photographed a different kind of scene – after all, the first photography book I bought was a collection by Joel Myerowitz, not Ansell Adams (that was the second one).

    Tree Silhouette

    Silhouettes can give a different view of something seen every day.

    Reflections in the Ice

    A quiet walk and a small river changed by snow and ice.

29. Water

    Flowing and still water can make a good contrast especially if there is a sense of movement and noise.

    Snowy Morning

    Another unpremeditated shot taken because I had my compact camera with me – and cropped to focus on the motion of the snow and the car.

    Receding

    Another example of me trying to find something interesting to take a picture of whilst not straying too far from home.

    X marks the spot

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

33. Not quite a textbook case

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

    Lines

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

    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.
