Photography ideas

After reading the section on photography and ideas about what to photograph I decided to start bringing my camera to work.  This course is already opening my mind.  I walk to work from Moorgate in the mornings mainly because I hate taking the tube in the morning from Kings Cross.  Before it was just head down trying to get down the pavement without having anybody run into me.  I am now starting to be more observant and have realised how interesting the City can be.  I see sculptures on the buildings that I never really noticed before.  The reflections in the Heron Tower on a sunny day are beautiful and I didn't realise how close I was to the Tower of London.  I went out several days at lunch time and took photographs.  Always before I would be sat at my desk having lunch or down in our cafe.  This will give me a reason to get out in the fresh air if you can call London air fresh, but at least to stretch my legs.  


I am going to look for one of those books on turning photos into fabric art when we go to the quilt show at Chilford Winery in November.  I am looking forward to that and to seeing a few owners of the quilt shops I buy from as I count them as my friends.  


Below are a few of the pictures I have taken already in London.








A few pictures of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge.  I like the textures of the stone on the walls.
