I've walked passed this lonely tree on Windermere many times, it needs an uncluttered background and a longer lens to make it work though. Handheld
The Lloyd's building is the home of the insurance institution Lloyd's of London, and is located at One Lime Street, in the City of London, England.
It was designed by architect Richard Rogers and built between 1978 and 1986. Bovis were the management contractor for the scheme. [1] Like the Pompidou Centre (designed by Renzo Piano and Rogers), the building was innovative in having its services such as staircases, lifts, electrical power conduits and water pipes on the outside, leaving an uncluttered space inside. The 12 glass lifts were the first of their kind in the UK.

The photo with the bicycle on is a bike that I hired from SkyBike in the centre. Only 7 speed but did the job😯. The uncluttered photo is also of the marina and it is well worth a visit!

I particularly liked this specimen as it had very few flowers out yet, and the leaves were more or less all on a plane. Normally these are harder to work with being so three dimensional, so I liked the simplicity I was able to get here. This was right at the beginning of the season when few were already up, which helped get an uncluttered composition.
This is one of those times I wish I'd invested in a 60mm lens earlier as I could have got more of the sky in, a lower angle, and less of the foreground leaves on the left blurring the foreground.
The sand dunes along the Skeleton coast in Namibia catching the first light. The geometry and tonality of this landscape is irresistible. It is easy to create a uncluttered composition where minimalism lends itself beautifully to drawing attention to just the geometry and luminance through the scene.

I know, another gas pump. I'm addicted. I've started shooting my night time series again and when I come across a gas station isolated in the night, I can't resist. This one is particularly nice because it offers three shooting directions with uncluttered background. A real find. More to follow ...
My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness
Early on in the COVER OF NIGHT series, I shot a couple gas stations. They were not initially the type scene I was looking to capture, but when I came across one late at night, bright and isolated in the darkness, it was impossible for me to resist, so I continue to shoot them. I have now shot enough that they have become a series-within-the-series. For a look at them as a collection, check out, Gas Stations
This rather extraordinary parish church, set on a spacious green hill above the River Severn, stands in stark contrast to Shrewsbury's medieval streets and mainly Tudor townscape.
Dating from 1790-92, it is a classical church, and is built from a pale stone that sets it quite apart from the red sandstone and half-timbering that are the usual materials of Shropshire. What is more, it is a classical church with a difference: the nave is completely round.
Opinions differ as to how successful a building this is. The tower, from some angles, looks almost unrelated to the rest of the church, being separated from it by a rounded antechamber. But the interior is light, bright and uncluttered. Slender white columns (made of local cast iron) support a gallery that sweeps right round the church.

I was out in the backyard this afternoon looking for something minimal to photograph when, by happenstance, two Turkey Vultures passed overhead on set wings. Luckily, I was able to capture one in silhouette while avoiding intervening tree branches or clouds to clutter things.

The building had lost none of its charm from when we visited 25 or so years ago. As always it's frustrating to be among so many other people appreciating the sights, but only from the viewpoint of uncluttered shots. Maybe next time we'll go for the earlybird tickets ...
Das Gebäude wirkt mit seinen beiden weit ausragenden Dächern wie der Vogel Phönix oder ein Adler, der gleich abheben wird.
Der Vergleich mit dem mythischen Vogel Phönix begründet sich auch durch die symbolträchtige Lage des Bahnhofes, denn der weiße Bau wurde auf dem Gelände der Doppeltürme des ehemaligen World Trade Center erreichtet.

As promised, I am closing off the current insect series with a six-legged critter that isn't monstrous, hideous, or reminiscent of some cross between a dinosaur and a vampire. The Plains Skipper - I'm fairly certain of the I.D.; the wing markings and location both seem right - is one of several skippers we see here on the northern prairie. Several of them, and other butterfly species, were feeding heavily on goldenrod, as was the out-of-focus hoverfly hovering in the background. This is their time: brief, intense.
Shooting with a long lens allowed me to find an uncluttered background for this shot. Full disclosure: after cropping, I ran the file through ON1 Resize, enlarging it about 30% to bring the master file up to 50 MB. That's my minimum size for a hi res "keeper" (if at all possible), as it is large enough for almost any print usage a client may request, and the Resize application handles moderate upscaling very well. Any upscaling greater than about 75% runs into sharpness problems, and I believe that is true of all the applications out there. Don't believe claims of 600%; that is absurd. Oh - and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Photography technology in this century has produced one miracle after another, and it seems nothing is impossible.
Tomorrow: a shot of something that isn't a bug or butterfly!
Photographed along a ditch margin In Rosefield, Saskatchewan (Canada). According to Wiki, the unincorporated community of Rosefield is "home to individuals, couples and families who ranch, farm or work in tourism and other business operations." Its official population, as per the 2006 census, is 16, but since that represents a 30% increase over the 2001 census, it may be even greater today. On the other hand, in the 2021 census data so far released, Statistics Canada lists 5 people in my age group living in the Village of Val Marie, including 5 men and 5 women, so I wonder how accurate the remainder of their data may be. Maybe invest in new calculators?

went to the owl flying display on wednesday. It was really challenging as it was under tree cover, raining and quite dim so tack sharp flying shots were few and far between. Also as we were in a fairly close group, uncluttered backgrounds were almost impossible and most shots had peoples heads in them. Was pushing 1000 iso to keep the shots sharp.
I abandoned the rule of thirds on this one, and desaturated the entire image, except the eye as I wanted all focus and concentration on the eye.
Absolutely stunning creatures.
NB: I'll post some of the flying ones later once I've sorted last weeks shots.
There are certain shots that seem to have a strong appeal to me, a sort of deep resonance that has me looking again and again. I really can't say what it is, but the image nearly always has a strong feeling of depth and space - A low horizon usually helps give this impression, as does distant objects on the horizon. A relatively uncluttered composition tends to help infer space too.
This image contains all of these elements. The foreground tree of course presents plenty of interesting detail and shapes with its bare Winter branches, and the heavy frost creates some beautiful cool blues and greens to contrast against the hot yellows of the rising sun. The range of simple colours and smooth textures in the sky also add there own fascination.
I have had a bit of a love affair with the Welland Valley for a few years now - looking at this scene, I can see in my mind's eye where all the roads are, where the villages (and pubs) are, and most of all the great times walking, cycling and driving I have had, often with loved ones and a few mad hounds!
All in all, a firm favourite of mine, wish I could get more like it!
100 Eleventh Avenue (Jean Nouvel), IAC Building (Frank Gehry)
..."The IAC Building, InterActiveCorp's headquarters located at 555 West 18th Street on the northeast corner of Eleventh Avenue in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, is a Frank Gehry-designed building that was completed in 2007. The building was Gehry's first in New York and featured the world's largest high definition screen at the time in its Lobby."

The black beauty was resting resplendently beneath two trees, alone. I always appreciate going to a car show to find sufficient space between vehicles to capture an uncluttered shot, especially without lots of people standing around photo-bombing.

That is all I had time for, the Sun was blistering, and I am hard to impress.
Empty even, and uncluttered with the usual metal fencing, I removed nothing with the usual editing trickery.
Perhaps it's a little early in the season for the crowds, but this area is usually full of children (of all ages) from all over the world, excitedly waiting to begin their Harry Potter Tour.
The college was not intended for such hoards and how it copes I don't know, but the not insubstantial fee must help.
Harry Potter this and that is all you can hear when you eavesdrop on most visitors to Oxford, poor Alice in Wonderland seemingly forgotten and real history only yawn worthy
I have slightly reworked this image ready to be printed on aluminium 1.2M wide to be displayed in my lounge on the chimney breast. Images for the wall at home I find need to be shots that you can "live with" long term. I prefer simplistic uncluttered images that have strong interconnecting shapes.

Sanderling (Calidris alba)
📍 Godrevy
It's been about a year since I bought my 150-600mm lens for wildlife - without using it that much.
So when we took a family walk at Gwithian Beach last Saturday afternoon, I decided to dust it off to snap some photos of the family dogs.
My Dad spotted half a dozen or so Sanderlings scampering around at the waters' edge looking for food. So, me and my sister (Instagram @louisaswildlifeuk) spent a few moments snapping away.
This was my favourite. I was as close as I could get to them (with a little post cropping). I like the clean, uncluttered look, the colour palette of the blue sky reflecting in the water with the golden sand, the reflection of the bird, and it's purposeful pose.

Macro Mondays 18.05.2020: Wabi-sabi
Undeveloped yet already old and wizened, a tiny orchid-bud rocked in the cradle of a worn-down whelk. Ocean waves roll in the curves of the shell, once home of a soft and vulnerable creature - now hard and lasting remnant. In its gentle hollow - womb-like - the shell embraces the tiny bud...
"Pared down to its barest essence, wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death. It's simple, slow, and uncluttered - and it reveres authenticity above all. It reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet - that our bodies as well as the material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came. Through wabi-sabi, we learn to embrace liver-spots, rust, and frayed edges, and the march of time they represent." (Quoted from the Wabi-sabi aesthetic group)

I had packed up and was ready to leave - then this view caught my attention. Somehow the grills/railings on each floor of the HDB (Housing and Development Board) blocks (residential apartments) on the right side of this image, in combination with the velvet-red color of the buildings reminded me of library bookshelves filled with books. Hence the title.
I then unpacked, set up again, and decided how I wanted to compose and convey this shot. I wanted strong, clean and uncluttered leading lines so I took about 8-10 images of this same scene with moving vehicles giving me different patterns of light trails. I decided on this one with relatively clean light trails on the left. As for the headlights of that car on the right - I like that in this composition, but that was pure coincidence. A few seconds after I captured this, the driver of that car had switched off the headlights - if I had been 5-10 seconds slower, I would have lost this moment.

We think the meal was a wasp but she was so quick spinning it and wrapping it up that I can't be 100% sure. Great to see these stunning spiders but even better when they are not tucked away in the middle of gorse and you can get a few uncluttered shots..
Seasons greetings to all friends and contacts hoping you all have a wonderful Christmas and a peaceful new year. It's been a real treat to view some really talented photography throughout the past year.
This image was taken from a hide on an extremely cold January morning, four pairs of socks failed to keep my feet warm !! You will note frost on the holly berries and leaves. This male Kingfisher perched perfectly with its foot clasping a berry. The colours stand out against an uncluttered background. I have selected this image as it featured on Explore at #1 and has proven to be the most popular photograph i have uploaded onto Flickr.
The very popular Remo, the integrated handles allow for effortless opening of doors , whilst creating a streamlined uncluttered look. The gloss finish pictured here adds real impact to the overall look of the kitchen, whilst any fingerprints or spillages are easily wiped away. Cashmere is a warm yet sophisticated shade, which gives you the freedom to accessorise with your own style ideas. #contemporary #robertcharlesinteriors #dreamkitchen #cashmere #gloss #cleanlines
Das Stadtmuseum liegt an der Spitze der Halbinsel in einem mittelalterlichen Turm, der auch unter dem Namen „Bischofsturm“ bekannt ist. Der Turm, der noch aus dem frühen 14. Jahrhundert stammt, wurde als Festung zur Verteidigung der Stadt am Meer verwendet und gilt als ältestes noch stehende Gebäude in Umag.
The Sultanate of Oman on the Arabian peninsula is some what of an enigma It shares the peninsula with Yemen and Saudi Arabia and currently should be in the middle of huge military conflict. However, Sultan Qaboos, the longest serving leader in the Middle East, has managed to keep his country a neutral entity in the region. Not an easy task, I would say.One reason is that the people of Oman practice the Ibadi School of Islam not Sunni or Shia. The Sultan also provides free education and medical care for the citizens.
It is a peaceful and welcoming country to explore. I just read comments by readers of the The Oman Times, the newspaper of the country. Solo female travellers wrote that they felt perfectly safe in the country. That's a very difficult thing to say of anywhere in the world. I can echo that feeling along with saying it was one of the most relaxing road trips I have experienced.
However, on the other end of the spectrum, are reports of torture of dissidents, laws forbidding criticism of the Sultan, and poor treatment of foreign workers. After all, Oman participated to a large degree in slave trading. They once ruled Zanzibar in the Indian Ocean, now part of Tanzania.
Muscat, the capital city, is one of the most beautiful cities I have seen. The harbor and the lantern-lined boulevards that lead to the harbor from this hillside are uncluttered, well planned and magnificent. This Mosque named after the Sultan in located on the highest hill in the city.

Percival P50 Prince G AMLZ at the old Speke Airport Terminal Apron Liverpool, one of several aircraft displayed here belonging to the volunteer Speke Aero Heritage Group. Built at Luton in 1951 for Shell Survey this aircraft arrived by road in 2003 in sections from Millom Cumbria, the group making a excellent job of rebuilding and restoring this prop to her former glory. Usually the aircraft collection here is surrounded by cars but as the Crowne Plaza Hotel (the old Air Terminal) was closed at the time took the opportunity for a rare uncluttered shot.

Slated for development, these silos still tower over the waterfront. They may soon disappear or will be dwarfed by condominiums. Victory Soya Mills silos were built in 1948 by T. G. Ferguson for Canadian Breweries E.P. Taylor. Edward was the beer king and one of the richest men in Canada. Note to myself: In Next Life, start a beer company.
One of the most consistent photographers on Flickr and 500px is Stuart Allen. His simple uncluttered photographs are executed to perfection. Hope he forgives me my plagiarism, as it is meant as my poor attempt for a compliment.

Die 2008 fertiggestellte Brücke Ponte della Costituzione (Brücke der Verfassung) ist die vierte Brücke, die den Canal Grande in Venedig überspannt. Es ist eine Fußgängerbrücke mit Treppenstufen, die den Bahnhof Santa Lucia mit dem Piazzale Roma verbindet. Die Bogenbrücke ist 94 m lang und in der Mitte 9,28 m hoch. Sie besitzt an den Widerlagern eine Konstruktionshöhe von 0,875 m mit einer Breite von rund 6,4 m und in Brückenmitte 2,084 m mit einer Breite von etwa 9 m.
Sie wurde von dem spanischen Architekten Santiago Calatrava entworfen. Nach langen Querelen innerhalb der Stadt und Protesten oppositioneller Politiker wurde 2007 mit dem Bau begonnen, für den sieben Millionen Euro angesetzt waren. Die Brücke wurde am 11. September 2008 eingeweiht. Wegen der bis dahin aufgelaufenen Kosten von 11,6 Millionen Euro, sowie der Probleme mit Statik und allgemeiner Nutzung wurde Calatrava vom venetischen Corte dei Conti mit einer Strafzahlung von € 78.000 belegt.
