A day out in London

Re: The whale

I call this the whale at the Tate Modern

This isn't an exhibit, but the walk way that divides the 5th floor of the Tate into two levels. I thought this would look much better in cold black and white with some added noise to give it a certain grittiness. Does it work for you?

Pretty much works for me Ian, maybe that area top left is a little bright, but the rest looks good,especially the diverging lighting on the ceiling

Re: Red nose on the London Eye

Hi Ian,
I like the effect the lens produces, and the quality seems 1st class to my eye.

Re: Tate Modern slides

This is the first of my Tate Modern shots and one of several I took of the now famous tubular slides:

I got the shutter speed down to 1/5th second and the blurred figure is rather ghost-like. Rather abstract I suppose, which suits the venue fine!

Ian

I really like this one Ian, I love the dynamic angle, it works really well!

Out of interest, what was your take on the gallery as a whole?

Ian

In all honesty, no, it doesnt work for me (but I expect you guessed I would say that!) I find the picture too noisy, and the 'blown out' areas too much of a distraction.

This is a super shot Ian!

The chap in the background doesnt look like he is enjoying himself half as much as the kids though!

Re: The whale

That's OK - I knew it wouldn't be for everyone It probably relates better to some people who have done black and white dark room printing - a pet theory of mine!
