Whatever your particular preference is in photography there are new ways of seeing and doing.

What is this picture “Brandt homage 3” about to you?
Superficially to me it’s about shapes rather than textures as the key ingredient of the picture.
On a more meaningful level it could be alternatively titled “Workshop No 4 – Closed”
This picture was taken in Saltaire – Yorkshire 100 yds from Brandt’s very famous picture of the wet cobbled ramp. I can’t put a copy of the picture on my blog as I don’t have a copyright reproduction licence. Just Google Bill Brandt for around 500,000 web pages.
Technical stuff – Infrared capture, 16 mm Wide-angle lens on a very dull Tuesday lunch time whilst running a black and white photography masterclass.
A big hello to all the new followers of my little blog.

Like the contrast between the very dark and the very light. Looks good.

Bill Brandt would like this. It’s just up his street (excuse the pun). I know exactly the image you refer to as well.
