Week 14: Rule of Thirds
A more interesting challenge, requiring a bit of thought about composition. I decided on this sculpture, called Ob o8 by Steven Gontarsk, located at Central St Giles in London, because of the bright colour and its location, with offices and sky in the background. The sunny weather meant the shadow could also be captured in the photograph. 25 likes
Week 13: Vanishing Road
A simple challenge this week but I wanted to do something slightly different so left it until the evening to take this photograph. The location is close to Clapham Common, a residential road, that's fairly quiet. Initially I'd thought of taking the photograph looking north along the road, it slopes downwards towards the northern end. However this view, looking south worked out better. 23 Likes
Week 21:Symmetry
My first thought was here we go again as I remember this challenge from last year. If I recall it appeared as if some of the photographers didn't fully grasp the concept of symmetry! Anyway finding perfect symmetry in nature or architecture is quite hard, so I figured a reflection would be good. After spending 30 minutes at Paddington I settled on this shot, which I cropped slightly. 19 Likes
Week 8:Birds in Flight
Fun fun fun. After spending time in St James's Park looking at birds swimming, landing on the pond and watching two guys feeding pigeons I went over to the South Bank, close to the London Eye and took this photograph. The birds were attracted by food, people leaving/offering MacDonalds fries so they would circle then land then fly away again. Needless to say I took many photographs, this being the best, the birds showing different stages of being in flight. 62 Likes
