Week 4 of a 52 weeks project I’m having a crack at where every photo has to be taken at f22, meaning the pictures will be unrelentingly sharp across the focal range.
This one was shot from the other side of the house to the first image in the project, and yes, I feel bad for being lazy and not getting out into the world and shooting properly for this project! The problem is that it’s fucking cold at the moment and I don’t feel like it. Ha!
Annoyingly though there was a great shot to be had at the train station today. They’re doing engineering works (are they ever not?) and there was an army of engineers crawling about the train tracks wearing ludicrously bright high-vis orange suits. The colours popped out from the drab grey and green background they were milling about on beautifully. Alas I didn’t have my camera with me.
We were on our way to see the Chris Ofili retrospective at Tate Britain, which I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I would. On the train on the way back, the high rise buildings and gas towers that litter the route out of London Bridge station mocked me for leaving my camera at work, as they strutted against a perfectly clouded, late afternoon sky. Next weekend I’ll have to go out especially to try and photo some of them. I’ve got about 4 gas towers in mind now, and I reckon the high rise flats of South London will look great at f22, so long as I can find the right vantage points.
