I was inspired by some pictures Laura El Tantawy showed us from In the Shadow of the Pyramids at her recent presentation at POST, to start shooting very close up. I got out my 60mm f/2.4 macro lens and started using it as a walking around lens in the street to see what I might come up with. This is an atypical way to use such a lens so I’m really just experimenting to see what I can learn about shooting this way.



I liked the combination of yellow and blue light in the misty night, with the mystery of the silhouetted pedestrian.











As the i360 descended we caught a view of starlings gathering for their murmuration.


Another view from the i360 as the sun lowered in the sky over the English Channel.

When the aliens arrive, they’ll know where to stay – the Hilton Doubletree!
