Another photo of this car park in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, affectionately known as the ‘Cheesegrater’. It was designed by architects Allies and Morrison.
In 2009 it won a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Regional Award. These awards are given to UK buildings for their regional architectural importance. In 2013 it gained third place in the 'World’s Coolest Car Park' awards.
Interior detail of Temppeliaukion Church, a Lutheran church in the Töölö neighbourhood of Helsinki, Finland. It is known as Rock Church, or Church of the Rock, in Helsinki, Finland.

It opened in 1969.
I was lucky to visit it on a sunny day in June 2022.

A simple jetty. Stand here on a calm morning or still evening and wonder, "Is there a more calming place in all the world?"

This is a follow up image to a similar posting of a Loch Leven sunset a few weeks ago. I was trying to create some very simply composed images with difficult light scenarios to test my new Canon 16-35 f4 L.
The Canon is much sharper than the Sigma which is great for catching detail but it is less forgiving of movement and diffraction and whilst the Canon is not terrible for flaring I am comparing it to one of the best lenses out there for resisting internal reflections and so it just doesn’t match up. I had to work very hard to reduce the flare in the foreground of this image to make it reasonable and even now I’m not that happy.
The aim of this shot is to get full strength sunlight into the centre of the lens (I know it is off-centre but that was artistic license) with a strong reflection from the water. My previous test was a low light trial whereas this is a too much light trial. I must admit I like the play of the light on the water and way it slightly curves around the foreground rock just helps to break the shape a little. The rock is a little soft at the edges but I think that was me (or possibly the water) causing movement and affecting the exposure.
I’ve now reached the consensus that the comparison between my new lens and my old Sigma is just not really like for like. They have very different strengths and weaknesses and I suppose what I should focus on is getting the best out of the one currently fitted to my camera. That and start saving up for the Canon 11-24 L. :-)
Life is so busy... it seems to go by in a quick blur! Sometimes you just have to "stop and smell the... flowers."
Sometimes you just have to stop and appreciate the small things in life!
On a vacation last year, somewhere on the road between North Carolina and Tennessee these flowers were everywhere and I just had to get some pictures of them.
I was out one evening looking for something to photograph. It was analogous to "writers block" in that I could not find anything that caught my eye. My compositions were too complex and my subjects were too abstract. Eventually, I sit down in the shade of a tree, giving up on my shots for the day and I see this little guy. It was a simple little tree budding up from the ground. Such a simple thing is so pleasing to my eye...
I hope you enjoy! :)
A photo from my 'Sight Lines' solo architectural photography exhibition, held in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire from 12th October to 19th November 2021.
This is an image of the much photographed, greatly loved, but now demolished, 1971 Welbeck Street Car Park in London. The structure is an example exoskeleton construction. It closed in August 2018. Architect: Michael R Blampied & Partners. Photo taken in January 2017.
I built this SUPER basic vig a while back, I'd love to hear what y'all have to say about this and if I should build more SW.
GOD BLESS!
The Scalpel, one of the latest additions to the City of London skyline and its neighbouring building.
The completed 300 piece jigsaw puzzle "Simpler Times," art by Keith Brown and manufactured by Bits & Pieces. One of the prettiest puzzles I've done. Hope you enjoy it!!
