Light is everything – it’s light that makes photography possible. And when the light is shining bright the facades of the buildings on the streets of London come alive.
I was walking back along the Euston Road. It was a glorious blue-sky day and the north facing facades of the buildings on the south side of the road were reflecting buildings to the north of the road with extraordinary clarity. With each step the image changed. One minute it was blue sky, the next an impressionistic interpretation of a building. I took a considerable number of images from which I have selected the minimalist one you see below.

Of all the archetectural photos, the graphic, detailed ones are my favorite. You have a keen eye for it.

Thank you so much Ken. I find myself increasingly looking for this kind of shot, and there is no shortage of them in London.

Euston Road right? Like what they’re doing with that place. It was quite an ugly building before but the glass panels have really spruced it up!

Wonderfully geometric and how cool it is with those reflections. Another one for Hawkeye that’s for sure! 🙂

Fantastic! I love minimalistic images, and this is exactly that! Focussing in on the detail can come up with some great images

Thanks Sue. This was one small area of a much larger facade

Great shot Andy – that light post just breaks up the lines perfectly!

Thanks James. I was aware that two yellow panes and two blue panes would not work really, there needed to be something to break up that too obvious symmetry. Lamp posts sometimes come in useful.

These glass convases, as I have called them earlier, are now one of the main things I Look for in London

Super minimalist composition Andy. You are so right about the light. Someday, I will stay in one location and shoot a composition every half hour from sunrise to sunset to show how the light is indeed everything.

I could have shot a different image every step for about fifty yards walking past this facade

You’re right about the lamppost. Without it, the symmetry would have been far less interesting. It reminds me of your recent laundry photo. There, the vibrant color of the laundry itself set off the curves, beautifully. It really is the details that matter, isn’t it?

It’s the detail, and the contrast in colour, or shape, and sometimes the way a simple symbol like the lamppost creates a convenient fulls top to the image. Thanks Linda, as always.
