Journey to the TATE Modern

I went up to the TATE Modern to see the Sigmar Polke exhibition and decided to take some pictures of my journey there, both at Blackheath Station and the along the journey from London Bridge to the TATE. I'm fairly pleased with the outcome of them. The first picture shows the frost on some of the plants at Blackheath and I thought the colours were beautiful and I loved how the frost brought out the detail in the plants. The second couple of pictures are of small birds that were flying around together. I managed to get a couple of good shots of them despite how quickly they were moving. I like how the second shot shows the defiant bird sitting on the stick after having pushed the first one off. I also like the blurred quality to the first picture which  captures the movement well. The next set of pictures show the walk up in London. I liked the first picture due to the mix of angles and how reflective the surface is. The second picture I really liked due to its composition. The positive and negative space works really well in my opinion. The third picture has a really nice contrast between the old of the church and the new of the Shard. I like how you've got the opposing warm tones of the church and the cool tones of the church. The two peaks are complimentary as they stand side by side. The last three I liked due to the warmness in tones, the angles I captured and I was just impressed with how well the colours came out.

Park Walk

I went for a walk with my family the day after Boxing Day and decided to bring my camera. I was particularly looking for interesting angles and hidden features as much of the park was the same as any other green leafy area. The first photo is of an abandoned park office. I liked how nature is reclaiming this building with plants growing up the drain pipe and moss on the roof. The dishevelled, distressed nature of this building appealed to me more than a pristine home would have as it seemed to retain more charm and history. The colours were beautiful too as the greens of the moss faded into the washed out browns of the bricks. The other pictures I took are of trees. The first couple of pictures I liked due to the angle I managed to capture. The way the branches reached upwards created a lovely shot. The last two photos I love as the branches remind me of veins. The way they branch off from each other and diminish in size really appeal to me and I like how they look contrasted against the almost white of the sky.
