When walking around the south bank in London with my sister and her kids. I spotted this brightly coloured set of stairs hidden in the shade beneath a concrete building and I couldn’t resist.
With a 50mm lens attached to my D7000, I began thinking about the best way to compose this image. I wanted to make the text the main subject and have it act like a big inviting arrow which points up the dark stairs. So tried to make the “big arrow” using the contrast between the floor and the wall leading away from the viewer.
Once I got the composition I wanted I set about getting the camera to portray the image that I could see. It was a particularly bright day so I set my iso to 100, I wanted a short depth of field to make the “this way” text the main focus of the image so i set it to f/2.2 then I adjusted my shutterspeed to 1/60 to make the image slightly overexposed to pick out the brightness of the yellow and I fired off a few shots.
I hope you like my work. I am really keen on becoming a better photographer and any constructive criticism you may have is more than welcome.
Thanks
Ronnie
