Almost a perfect fit. Walking down towards Tate Britain earlier this week I passed this building. Nothing very remarkable about the building – large floor to ceiling windows in a facade that was clad with wood. A little austere and subdued. it caught my eye because of the reflections of the property opposite. I slowly moved along and found a position where the windows of the facing property aligned within the window frames of the property I was viewing. And what’s more, the lighting – dull and overcast – together with the reflected pastel colours, seemed a perfect match.
On any other day, this image probably wouldn’t have worked. Just occasionally the conditions are right. Dull light can be the right type of light.

Keep looking at windows, Andy! This is another great one for your collections.

Every window is different, Linda. There are always surprises. This one was so different for the muted tones and the way the image came together.

Some people like birds, some people like flowers. There are people who like old trucks, trees, and trails. But I don’t believe I know anyone else who’s quite as much a window aficionado as you — and this is a nice one for the collection. The crooked little reflections at the bottom made me smile.

As I proclaim from time to time: I’m a butterfly photographer flitting between genres. But the concept of Documentary Pictorialism – a term I think applies to this type of image – really has great appeal.

There’s another phrase I’ve never heard: documentary pictorialism. It’s interesting how each art develops its own vocabulary to help describe what’s going on within its “confines.”

Dull light is great. Love it and the way you handled it and how the windows are mirrored.

Thanks Dina. Bright light would not have suited this building.

We get a lot of that light here, and this is a perfect example of how good it can be – just beautiful.

Thanks Lynn. It’s also an example of how light doesn’t have to be bright to be beautiful. Subtle works fine.

Yes, and sorry I haven’t been here in so long…so I finally followed you, too. I’m getting a bit more organized these days!

Thanks for the ‘Follow’, Lynn. Life’s been a bit mad recently and I spent very little time following other photographers work on the Net. Trying to get back to a more normal existence now – it’s hard keeping all the balls in the air isn’t it?!

I love it, LS – dull light, harsh light, whatever – they are all a challenge – and reflections offer a wonderful opportunity to do something creative. A common enough test is “will this stay in the viewer’s memory” – I think your photo passes the test with flying colours!
