Street Photography – week 14

8 April 2023Posted in 2023 photo course, 52 week photography challenge, Bishop's Waltham, Hampshire, lens: 14-42mm, Olympus EM10

The challenge for this week is Street Photography.

This morning I sat on a bench at the end of the High Street in Bishop’s Waltham with my camera in my lap, using the flip out screen. I was not looking at the camera, but pressed the shutter button when the ‘target’ was lined up with the number plate of the car on the left. Although the second lady is looking at the camera, I don’t think she registered that I took the picture.

These red fungi caught my eye when I was out walking our dog. They were almost glowing.

I didn’t have a camera with me, so I put one in my pocket and went back the next day.

In the Forest of Bere this morning. I was trying to catch the mood on a grey and rainy morning.

This particular location in the woods always reminds me of a cathedral, particularly when the leaves are fresh and the sun is shining through.

This turns out to be the 1,000th post on this blog, and so I feel entitled to make a little brag.

This photograph, which I have titled ‘Going Underground’ was awarded first place in the Intermediate section in the August round of Bishop’s Waltham Photographic Society’s 2022 League. The set subject was Motion.

I am very pleased – my previous best was third place.

This is a reworking of an image I have previously posted. The original is here.
