This is a photo that I took through a train window travelling down to Cannes for the festival in 2011. It's probably the best one I took through the window but the scenery was breathtaking and I wanted to try and capture it even it was just a snap on my phone.This one (also 2011) was taken whilst I was out for a drink with a friend. We were in docklands and drinking out on the balcony of a hotel and I could see the potential as the sun began to set. I just needed to wait for the right moment and get the right angle. This was the third and final snap I took. The first chopped off the top, the second looked pissed and this one was alright. It's time's like this that I am thankful for my camera phone but slightly sad as before camera phones I always carried a compact camera with me and I took some pretty good frames with that. I think whilst camera phones have made it easy for everyone to take pictures, it has made me lazy and opportunistic with my picture taking. I need to go out more often with my camera, whether it be my DSLR or my compact as I'd be more inclined to look for those photography chances. Living in London you never know what you may get the chance to snap.
Your photo in Docklands is very near to where I live, I took some photos like that one just last week.
ReplyDeleteNice! I really do need to get out more with my camera. Time to start taking some trips over the summer I think.
