Can You Tell What it is Yet?

This is the final post from the Mastering Composition Photo Walk with Steve Davey. This photo is capturing a group of people making sand sculptures on the banks of the Thames. The key tip from Steve for this shot was to make sure we got St Pauls into the frame, making sure this was an iconic image of London, rather than a beach shot from anywhere in the world.

I liked this image (also taken on Steve Davey’s mastering composition course) capturing all the different elements in what i think is a very interesting moment on the shores of the thames. You have the classic skyline of St Pauls in the background, the old jetty structures in the middle ground and the characters in the foreground of the scene.

Still working my way through the photos that i took on Steve Davey’s Mastering Composition course. Whilst not all of them are particularly in my normal style, perhaps part of purpose of taking a course, they have been more focused on capturing an entire scene. This shot which has been slightly retro processed, was trying to capture a moment on the south bank with the crowd interacting with the bubble blower!

This was another of the images taken on Steve Davey’s mastering composition course. This was shot in the scare park under the National Festival Theatre near Waterloo in London. I was deliberately trying to get a scene that captured the action on the left and the family taking photos on the right.

I took this shot on whilst on a Mastering Composition photo course run by Steve Davey, the course was really useful covering lots of topics specifically on getting the thought process right when approaching a photograph. This shot inspired because of the interest i felt between the contact between the street art and the character in the background.

This photo of what i think is quite a grumpy looking seagull was taken whilst i was waiting to order Pasties at the tea shop on St Michaels Mount near Penzance in Cornwall. I was really impressed how well this shot came out and the zoom on the Sony Cybershot HX95, which is definitely proving itself to be a nice companion to the much more serious Fuji X100.

This photo was taken using the ND10 filter of St Michaels Mount near Penzance in Cornwall. I did have a mini disaster in the the wind caught the tripod, which could have ended in disaster, but i managed to catch the camera with the Shutter Release cable preventing it all ending up on the wet sandy beach. The shutter release cable sadly didn’t survive which meant that i didn’t quite get the shot i wanted for the day.
