As well as the usual two photos a day, during May I also participated in Mono MayHem which meant another black and white image per day to dream up. No pressure! I really enjoyed it again (having done MoNovember last year). Here’s what I produced:
Title: Light Spiral
Location: Portland Place, London
Camera: Panasonic Lumix GF1 / 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 IOS
Notes: One for spiral staircase fan, Donald 🙂
Title: New Broadcasting House
Location: Portland Place, London
Camera: Panasonic Lumix GF1 / 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 IOS
Notes: First day of a new contract at the BBC’s new building at Broadcasting House today. This is the impressive new extension to the original Art Deco structure. It’s changed a bit since I was last here.
Title: Reach Out
Location: The Bringey, Great Baddow
Camera: Panasonic Lumix GF1 / 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 IOS
Notes: A random but attractive bit of graffiti I found during a bike ride this afternoon.
Title: Curvature
Location: Brewhouse Yard, Clerkenwell
Camera: Panasonic Lumix GF1 / 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 IOS
Notes: What happens when the shadow of a straight object is projected onto a curved surface?
Title: View From The Water
Location: Heybridge Basin
Camera: Canon EOS 7D / 24-105mm EF f/4 L IS USM
Notes: Went on a lovely cruise down the canal today and this was a shot I got from the boat.
Title: Cairn In The Woods
Location: At home
Camera: Canon EOS 7D / 60mm EF-s f/2.8 USM
Strobist: 1 x YN560 from each side through Stofen diffuser @ 1/64; 1 x YN560 from above through DIY Softbox @ 1/64
Notes: An exercise in balance. About all I was capable of today, due to feeling poorly. The rocks are some I picked up from the beach at Westward Ho! during a trip to Devon and Cornwall in 2007.
