London Street Trash

By Nigel | Published November 23, 2009

London offers up a vast amount of subject matter for a photographer, subject matter ranges from Candids, Buildings, Landscapes, cityscapes and detail shots. Everything from the out of the ordinary to the mundane can be of interest. Due to the amount of time I spend in London sometimes I find myself looking for the out of the box subjects.

After a walk along the Southbank one afternoon with very little new subject matter to show for the walk, I deviated off of my normal route and decided to cross the water and walk the North side of the river for a change.

Not far from St Pauls I can across a set of steps that seems to be a favourite place for people to sit during their lunch hour, or it may be that a group of holiday makers or tourists might have taken a breather there? who knows. When I found the steps the only remnants of the people was in the form of their litter, Cigarettes and matches and discarded flyers…..

I liked the composition of the shot due to the flyers leading you out of the shot along with the slight curve of the steps.

Red Roof Of Rye.

By Nigel | Published November 3, 2009

The shed which is located on the Rye nature reserve has always been known to me as the Red Hut of Rye.

Upon searching around for information of the structure I can across a little more detail with the assistance of www.ryeharbour.net.

According to the site, the shed has always been used by Shrimp Catchers as far back as the owner can remember, the shed was previously owned by the current owners Uncle.

Hense the owners name for the shed is “Uncles Shed” the shed is given a fresh coat of paint twice a year to keep it standing proud again the barren surrounding.
