Strictly speaking a confluence is a meeting of rivers/streams, but here I see a meeting of streams of air between closely packed buildings in a crowded London.
I look forward to returning here with my fish-eye lens.
Yesterday I posted a donkey behind a fence... that's how I was feeling all penned in... but an all day trip on my bike in glorious weather sure makes you start to look up. Also spotted my first Baltimore Oriole of the season... and he's looking up too. (And the sky really was that blue)
I was really excited for the chance to spend some time outdoors this weekend. We always do our weekly shopping on Saturdays so this weekend, we stopped downtown to go for a little walk in the late afternoon sun and to possibly grab a hot drink.
I knew the shot that I wanted to get since we only have a limited number of large buildings in our area. I also happened to follow a friend on Instagram who inspired me to go and do my own "looking up" shot. What was funny, is when we made our way to the corner where this building is, there was another group of people toting their cameras around doing the same thing.
I find these types of shots (along with the iPhone perspective shots) to be difficult to compose and execute. Getting things exactly centered can be a bit more tricky than it looks. The more symmetrical your scene is, the more difficult it is to keep completely straight. It isn't until after in post where you find where things may not be as straight as you would like.
I wish there were more sky-scrapers in Regina to get in more experience using different architecture. That being said, you may see some doubles of the same building. I am hoping to go back to this spot for a day when there is some decent cloud cover and stretch some exposures right out.
