My Kind of Landscape » - urban landscape photography

Again… I nearly didn’t make it to the spot I wanted to photograph today. Again… I very nearly said that it wasn’t important and there were other things that needed to be done. But, as you can see – I didn’t let that happen, and I’m so much happier because of it! (Even if I’m using a laptop which is awful and I’ve been swearing at it for the last hour – still no computer)

I’ve been inspired by the photographs of a ‘friend’ (maybe more of an acquaintance, if that) to take a step back and try and compose a whole scene, but whilst I failed dismally at that today, I have at least posted my first ever portrait orientation photo at the bottom of this series… yes, I know full well how sad it is that I’m aware of it, but the first step is admitting you have a problem, right?!

I have tried so hard to get out and take photos lately, but things keep happening. Stuff needs to get done. Even the best plans can be so easily messed up. Really, life gets in the way. And it irritates me. I’m a person who loves structure (have you noticed?!) – and the lack of it means I’m not getting out and photographing the things I want to – guess I’ll have to do something about that, right?!

My computer is away being repaired at the moment – hence the lack of ‘extras’. So – I’ve got a couple of ‘newbies’ to share (stupid name – no idea what else to call them). I’m determined not to photograph the same place twice, and not cross over locations between devices… it’s fun trying to remember them all. Lately I’ve been absolutely disgusted at the amount of cool places I’ve discovered near my place… where the hell were they when I needed them last year?! Oh, wait. They were there, alright. I just couldn’t see them.
