Searching for The Decisive Moment

I've been sitting on these images for a while now, the plan being to make a large album of photos I've taken within the 'decisive moment', but the project never really got legs and instead I've put photos which would have fit into this gallery into lots of other smaller collections.

So in a bid to break up the Bestival and Tattoo Festival photos (I only have two more sets of them to post, I promise) I thought I would share these.

A woman striding out of the gloom on a sunny afternoon, a couple sit on a the steps of the South Bank parade framed by the shadow of the bunting, a lad flicks a football in a busy park eyes set on it and both feet off the ground and a man looks directly into camera as I intrude upon his time with his girlfriend, his expression neither neutral or angry.

Living Fast, Brick Lane

I enjoy a stroll down Brick Lane every once in a while, it's interesting to see just how much it and the surrounding area changes and how rapidly those changes occur.

The people seem to stay the same though, the same age, the same fashions and the same modes of transport.

During a coffee stop I practiced panningand got these shots. I hope you like them.

Westferry, London

It's probably not too clever announcing to the world where you live, yet here I am again with another couple of photos of my neighbourhood. I guess I did exactly the same thing when I live in Leytonstone but expect a lot more now I'm a stones throw from Canary Wharf (expect a lot more stones to be thrown too... we've not forgiven the bankers yet... well I haven't). 

So I took these photos from the bank of the Thames, I actually can walk right down onto the shore and be at water lever, well when it's low tide anyway. I need more practice at this kind of photography, I have a few rolls (folders) of photos which are blurred, underexposed, dull, uninspiring or all of the above. I hope that these two are none of those things. You decide.

Whitstable Days & Nights

I don't often just take a day off work and go visit some distant place (not distant) but when a antipodean friend visited our fair shores I decided to take a days holiday and visit Canterbury Cathedral. None of these photos are of the cathedral by the way, because my plans, made out of sand as they were, changed after I had spent time under the lofty roof of the cathedral and then become thirsty.

Where better to have a drink on the one sunny day we've had all year (not bitter) than then seaside? No where, that's where. So I and my friend went to Whitstable, drank wine, ate cheese (please visit The Cheese Box if you ever go), chatted and took photos. Here are four I hope you like.

Photowalk: Bow Creek & Trinity Buoy

Yesterday I went on the first of this year's London Photowalks, organised by myself and my friend Natasha for free for any interested photographers, novice or pro. It started in Canning Town Station and from there we went to Bow Creek, which I've mentioned in previous posts.

There were about 11 people in attendance and that number halved before 2pm when we stopped for tea and chips before steeling ourselves for a major shoot at Trinity Buoy Wharf by East India Docks.

I've split the photos into two sets (I'm not sure if this will come across when the blog is syndicated on Facebook et al), the first set is from Bow Creek and the second is from Trinity Buoy Wharf.

 

Here are the Trinity Buoy Wharf photos.

We don't usaully revisit the same place in the same year with London Photowalk, but I'm really keen on doing a walk that begins at the Wharf which was definitely the more interesting part of the day and it's a shame that people had drifted off before we had got there.

Here are some other attendees' photos
