I have some friends who are getting into photography and we were talking about doing a photo about leaving a cookie for Santa and seeing who has the best photo. None of them are on Flickr but this is my photo for our friendly challenge.

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

One thing the guide books failed to mention on the page about the Museum Of Modern Art is that it's currently being built and won't open until spring :-)

That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight.

Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower.

We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.

our daughter is in Sydney Australia and was blocks away from the terrifying incident there in Starbucks .we knew more about the events than she did at the time when we texted her .. so as a parent this is even more poignant
