Hi Iain,
Great start, I'm another fan of your pebble footprints, brilliant idea beautifully shot. Checked your flickr page and I just can't choose a favourite. Hope to see a few of these meander through your 52.
Like what you've done with this weeks theme. The street light and person with the red hat make the shot for me.
Carol
Thanks Carol
If there are themes which would fit with some pebble shots, I will certainly use them. For me they would have to be fresh images also, taken within the given week.
Thanks also on the Fear photograph, I was a little unsure on it that it would be on theme.
Yep that works as well 0- must be some high places in London you can get access to? ............. I too love heights........ Have you ever been to Barcelona? If not, go for a long weekend and visit the Sagrada Familia.. you can climb the inside of all the pointy towers and venture out onto the balconies which are about mid thigh high...... The Spanish don't do H&S it would appear......... personally, I don't have a problem with that.....
Cheers Lynton, there are quite a few places in London I could possibly get access to on my ID (IYSWIM) just needed more time, work got in the way
. I tried to blag my way into St Pauls with one of my workmates, again on the ID but they dont allow photography. We spoke to the Press Officer who said we could if he was to escort us around and he might not have been so keen had he known what I was planning to do
. Never been to Barcelona sounds good, even better if the Spanish are a bit slack on H&S
Direction is a nice one..made me smile. As has been said, great textutes and colours. I also like the direction of movement.
Fear, once I did but wasn't up to scratch. Yours has more than mine did, nice lead in, follow with red hat on. The light was a bit :shrug: but now I look, it does add to the depth.
Wonder what a 1 inch crop off the top would look like?
Cheers.
Thanks Andy, much appreciated. Your comments are valid, I had similar thoughts about the light but decided to leave it in to add to the feeling of height. I take on board also about the crop, I see how that would work too.
Definitely get a sense of height on this one
Thanks Peter, thats the reaction I was hoping to get cheers
Direction - like your picture, great colours
Fear - another great picture, defo cries fear of heights.
Well done
Cheers Darren, I am glad it conveys the sense of height.
Like it. The person and the light certainly add to the image. Great shot
Glad that you like it Michael, I wasn't too sure about the image and am pleased that it has been met with positive reactions.
Great start Iain, your footprints image is great. Nice texture to the image and definitely fits the theme of direction. And again a great image for fear, I love how the side of the building leads the eye to the pavement and adds to sensation of height. Keep it up
Thanks for your positive comments Ben, thank you too for your interpretation of the image its much appreciated.
There's plenty in there to feed the fear, Iain! I like the way there are different 'levels' - the light, the sides of the building, the bus shelter (?) and the man, very sensibly, wearing what looks like a hard hat! And the road and pavement look very hard is you fall on to them! A good interpretation of the theme.
How high are you planning to go if you do a reshoot?
Jean
Thanks Jean
I would like to go as high as possible for the reshoot Jean to really nail the height factor. I work in London and there are possibilities for a reshoot but I am pretty sure if I do get access and were to tell them my exact intentions of dangling my feet/legs off a ledge they wouldn't be long in telling me "No Chance"
The addition of the person in the shot makes this shot for me, bang on theme. Good stuff.
Cheers Phil thanks for looking/commenting
I think it's great that you've got interest in this shot, not just the height. It works with and without the theme.
Thanks Mark, glad you like it.
Plus one, certainly get the feeling if height
Cheers Roly
