Day 76 - office building

This office building is right outside Leeds train station and I've been meaning to shoot it for ages.

I'm quite pleased with this one.  I like the contrast between the curves and angles of both the lead in lines and the building itself.

Day 30 - Two Snaps

I took the girls out for a walk along the canel, looking for photo ideas along the way.  I ended up with a few that I was pleased with and thought I'd share a couple of them with you.

First up is Spa Mill, taken with the Sigma 10-20.  I like the shadows on this, giving a nice balance with the branches of the same trees at the top of the frame.

The second is another photo of Jessica, taken using diffuse ambient light.  I know I might be biased, but I think those eyes are stunning.

Day 26 - Steel and Glass

I was trying to look for patterns and lines in the buildings today.  Not sure if this is a bit rubbish or whether its just not something that interests me very much.  It certainly felt more like a grabbed snapshot than something I'd created.  Anyhow, its all about trying different things I suppose.  Behold the snap...

Day 20 - Huddersfield Station

I've never tried much night time photography, but this photo 365 is supposed to be about learning by trying new things.  I've always thought Huddersfield train station was an impressive building, but struggled to find an interesting photo of it.  This is certainly my best look at it so far...

This was 1.3s at f/5.6 with the Sigma lens wide at 10mm.  I'm fairly happy with the amount of motion  blur and contrast with the people standing still, but the station isn't perfectly straight, so perhaps this is one to try again.

Day 19 - Leeds Art Gallery and Library

A lunchtime exploration of the fantastic interior of Leeds art gallery and library building.  I must say I was more impressed by the building than much of the art on show at the moment.  The visit was only marred by one overly officious lady who accosted me while I snapped:

OL: Have you got permission to photograph in here?
me: Do I need permission?
OL: Yes! It could be an invasion of privacy!
me: Oh.

pause...

OL: I've given you permission now.  Carry on.

Anyway, here's the snap:

A couple more after the jump...

Day 4

A strange building in Leeds, which looks derelict but appears to be used by the police.  All very strange...
