CCC London Trip: Wide-angle Architecture

Monday morning, after the colourful sunrise, was a very grey day - not usually the best for photographing architecture but I was surprised how much colour was present in the buildings along by City Hall - no colour has been added or changed just the saturation/vibrance increased. The images in Southwark Cathedral have the complementary yellow hue from the lighting and are photomerges of 4 images in the two wider views.

 

Walk King's Cross to Pall Mall

On Sunday, I walked from Kings Cross Station to Pall Mall enjoying the diversity that is London, here represented by shots from Manette Street in Soho. It has such a variety of building - new and old,  underconstruction and ready for demolition, open and locked and colourful and monochromatic. the Chapel of St Barnabus in Soho is firmly padlocked but a sprig of flowers has escaped. With all this in one street, it is a wonder I made my destination in time to photograph an event.

 

Shapes and Patterns at the Botanic Gardens

I was photographing the shapes of single leaves and the patterns of their rosettes of leaves and their symmetry when I came to this ?Aloe. The new leaves develop in a spiral pattern but with a 5 point shape in the centre.

Shapes, Shadows and Colours

We took a walk round the Station area in Cambridge yesterday in bright sunlight which created lots of interesting shadows and bright colours to play with. Here just a few that I hope make an interesting set.
