I do really enjoy photographing shadows . . .
Taken with an iPhone on the train to Edinburgh
Chichester Cathedral
Wrought iron gate, old red brick, shadows on grass – add a picnic – perfect, except its February and about 4˚C.
Portmerion, North wales – designed by he architect Clough Williams-Ellis
The staircase in the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art – Ellis Williams Architects, is statisfyingly industrial with its embossed and perforated sheet steel. The only colour – a single wall on each landing painted in an identifying colour.
The entrance has unpainted rusting cladding.
Dull December weather in Canvey Island, Essex but this rust patterned concrete flood defence and steps is a pleasing arrangement of stripes and angles.
Canvey Island – the beach in winter
Reflections and shadows - blue to turns green and pink picking up reflected colours from the water and the deck – which is pink in the shade but almost orange in full sun. The canal at the Hepworth Wakefield.
Pink flourescent lighting in the cafe at the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead looked particularly good on the white beard.
The Millenium Bridge across the Tyne at Gateshead – the arch lit with colours that slowly change through the spectrum. f/1.8 1/200 ISO 1600 50mm
Lindisfarne on a cold damp dull day – the local stone is defiantly pink on such a grey day
Straight railings casting their shadows on a rough stone wall.
Accidentally having the camera on the wrong setting caused camera shake during the long exposure but made an even more interesting image from this quilted copper-lined elevator in the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.
And theseover-sized wooden blinds were marvellous, maybe I’m addicted to parallel lines.
On a photo course in Italy with Frui , given free access to photograph the interior of a grand old house in the Abruzzo, I chose to concentrate on the juxtaposition of colour, the light was intense with deep shadows.
Just about to eat the last peice of orange melon, pink lipstick – perfect .
