Cubist reflection

Posted on Wed, 23 September, 2020 by LensScaper

Patchwork Pattern

Posted on Wed, 3 October, 2018 by LensScaper

This is the facade of a building on Oxford Street. A very unusual 3D facade with geometric projections, each of which reflects the sky. I have photographed it several times, and on each occasion the overall effect is different. It … Continue reading →

Window Art

Posted on Mon, 1 October, 2018 by LensScaper

A window never looks quite the same, I am discovering. Time of day, sun or no sun, viewing angle – they all affect what is reflected. And on this particular occasion the results were impressive. The last few weeks have … Continue reading →

Stepped Facade

Posted on Fri, 1 June, 2018 by LensScaper

Window Gallery

Posted on Wed, 15 February, 2017 by LensScaper

This is a single image of a stepped facade which has been rendered a little more geometric by straightening not just the verticals, but also the horizontal lines – distorting the perspective for effect. Regular readers of this blog will … Continue reading →

A ghostly presence

Posted on Mon, 4 January, 2016 by LensScaper

I should start perhaps by asking you to guess what this is at first glance. And, No, it is definitely not a Selfie! It’s part of a highly reflective metal sculpture spotted in the gardens of a National Trust property … Continue reading →
