Be different

This is an image from London. I post it to illustrate a number of points :-

I am not naturally a cityscape photographer yet from time to time we need to push ourselves outside our comfort zone. It is good to recognise and work to our strengths, mine is landscape photography, yet we have to try something different otherwise we become stale and complacent.

I am aware that I post photographs from locations all around the world. Circumstances and a love of travel afford me that option from time to time. But not all of you can afford that option. This was taken a few hundred metres from where I was working. If your opportunities to travel are limited yet you want to create images then take a closer look around you and you may be surprised at what you find.

I have seen many others photograph this bridge. People with big expensive cameras, mounted on tripods; so they were taking it seriously. Yet they all stood to one side or another. So why not stand dead centre I thought, with a wide angle lens. Do something different from the rest and you get a result different from the rest.
