The sun was out today so I set off to see if I could capture a not-so-obvious picture created by the light and shade. Having read my Magnum Magnum book from cover to cover at least twice, the way that their photographers use light is really interesting.
There's a big railway bridge over the river in Guildford and the sun was shining on it nicely from a low angle, creating a shadow of the wooden padestrian bridge alongside. I waited a while for some people to walk past and this is the pick of the crop. It looked quite nice in colour but I put it into monochrome as the removal of colour emphasises the shadows.
Just looking for light and shade is a very interesting thing to do. Rather than looking for specific objects/things, I was looking for patches of light instead and working out how a picture might come out of it. Quite "enlightening" .
