Photo Comp - April 2010 - "Infrastructure"

[RiK]

Subject for April, chosen by Matt303 is: "Infrastructure", the things we rely on day to day without giving a second thought to.

Matt's Shortlist:

Ok here we go:

Because I'm a radio geek, PinkFearie's Emley Moor Mast.


piku's rubbish ( nice unhappy face )


PVFA's pipes because it's fun working out what all the bits are and there's a poor lonely bottle of beer


Rik's (was that HDR btw?)


Meow's for the rather good vanishing point.


Nice photos all round, looking forward to next months

although, not so good when the sky is completely uniform grey, like in 80% of the time in the UK

have you tried a polarising filter?

Er no. I have a how do I put it polity I have Ho hum Camera. We have a lot of gray sky's here to or just really blue no clouds. It does give me idea. I could use sunglasses which would do the same thing.

I've been known to stick sunglasses in front of the camera from time to time. Can give some rather funky results. I had a pair of polarised raybans which sometimes created beautiful dusk looking shots in the middle of the day. Obviously it's rather hit and miss but fun to experiment. I used the technique this weekend using the girlfriends funky rose tinted glasses. The result I thought was rather nice:


Anyway here's my entry. The river Seine flowing through the city complete with a couple of rather splendid bridges.

Just got back from a lovely weekend loop around the Peak District and snapped this while enjoying a walk in the sun.
