Chairs

Some chairs in the window of a fast-food restaurant, as seen through the lightly telescopic 60mm macro lens (90mm equivalent) with a reflection of the lens in the upright at the centre.

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.

Night Walk

A person walking away down a wet street at night, with a pub illuminated in blue light in the background. Several cars are parked nearby and a bicycle is leaned against a post. — Station Approach, Hove

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

Looking Either Way

Aerial view of a coastal city with a sandy beach, a pier extending into the water, and buildings lining the shore under a cloudy sky. — Brighton Beach, UK

Looking East we could see the Brighton Palace Pier and the Marina beyond. Looking West we saw some of the many amusements along the beach, again with reflections I could only partially clean up.

Regency Square

As the i360 began to rise, we had a view of Regency Square and other nearby streets. Unfortunately the curved glass saucer shape of the chamber made it impossible to banish all the reflections.

Zenith

View looking up at a tall, modern building with a pointed top against a cloudy sky, featuring a glass canopy in the foreground. — i360, Brighton

The i360 is a Brighton tourist attraction we’ve walked past a million times but never been to. A glass flying saucer travels up the tower pictured here, providing panoramic vistas out to sea and of the city and beyond to the South Downs. We went as sunset approached. Below, a view of the base of the tower from the waiting area (with reflections).
