Escalators

Canon EOS 550D, ISO 100, aperture priority set at F22, 3 exposures +/- 2 stops.

I visited Cumbernauld Shopping Centre on the 3rd of November 2010 and asked the centre's manager for permission to photograph in their building at certain locations, i explained the kind of shot i was hoping to take and showed the manager an example from another shoot. On this occasion i was given permission as long as i did not take any photographs of any of their customers. It is always good practice to introduce yourself to management, or owners of premises before taking any photographs as you will be spotted on CCTV cameras by security staff and then you could be embarrassed by getting thrown out of a place. I always ask for permission and if it is not granted then i look for another place of interest.

Glasgow Street Scene

Fujifilm FinePix S602 Zoom, 3 exposures.

I took this shot from the top of a multi story car park near Cineworld in Glasgow.
Shrek and friends kept staring at me as i took the shot lol, they can be seen on the corner of the Cineworld building. This is an HDR photograph, i took 3 exposures +/- 2 stops, i generated a HDR image using Potomatix and edited it further using Picasa.

Happy And Sad

Fujifilm FinePix S602 Zoom, ISO 200, F2.8, Macro setting, handheld.

Another photograph i took while visiting the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. I named this photograph "Happy And Sad" as the flower on the left is brighter, the one of the left is shaded and a small petal on the flower looks like a tear. I took this shot handheld but i would recommend using a tripod.

Lady In Red

Fujifilm FinePix S602 Zoom, ISO 200, F2.8, macro setting.

I took this photograph while visiting the Glasgow Botanic Gardens, an excellent place to visit to get some macro shots of flowers. This flower reminded me of the famous Marilyn Munroe photograph when she stood on an air vent and her dress blew up around her. I named this photograph "Lady In Red" as it looked to me like a woman's red dress being blown up around her just like Marilyn Monroe's.

23 Little Spoons

Fujifilm FinePix S602 Zoom, ISO 200, F2.8, 1/45 sec, macro setting, handheld.

I ttok this shot during a visit to Glasgow Botanic Gardens, the small petals look like small teaspoons and this is what attracted me to this flower, don't ask me what the name of flowers as i haven't a clue but i do love their colours and shapes. I took this handheld but i would recommend using a tripod.

One Wing

Samsung L201, ISO 100, F5.6, 1/250sec.
