Back in March 2012, I posted ‘Poster People’. It included images of a sculpture called ‘Chain Reaction’ and my last line in that post was: ‘I plan to re-visit during the year to see how I can improve…’
Well it’s only taken nearly two years! If you think back two weeks you might remember the post: ‘Walking the Dog(s)‘. That was a black and white silhouette of a couple with dog(s). Today’s image was taken on the same shoot, four minutes later.
Another silhouette – but just of people and a small part of the superb sculpture ‘Chain Reaction’ by Ray Smith that stands in Campbell Park, Milton Keynes.
I wouldn’t say that today’s image is an improvement on what I posted nearly two years ago, it’s really more of the same. But also it’s an example of how two very different images can result from a single shoot, within a very short space of time.
Very nice.

Good composition. I like how open the hill is… If that were here in the States, it would likely be a landfill.

Thanks Rob. It’s a striking promontory of land that projects out above the parkland. I don’t know whether it is an original feature of the landscape, or whether it is in fact a ‘scaped’ deposit of earth etc that was dug out when the city of Milton Keynes was under construction.

Smashing photograph Andy, lovely compostion. I really like the contours and light on the green embankment. Really very nice indeed. I think this is definitely an improvemt on what were very nice images. Looking at the others, I can see it must have been quite a task to line this one up and wait for the figures to be so perfectly silhouetted. Fabulous work.

Thanks Adrian. Ideally I need to return to this place with a stepladder to gain the extra foot or so when the sculpture would line up with the promontory a little better. On this occasion it was the light that made the diference, although four minutes earlier I took the image of the couple with the dog that featured in the recent post

Many thanks for your comment, Len. I was lucky on that afternoon – it was one of the very few days of sunshine in the last month, and it brought people out.
