Weekly Photo Challenge: Beyond
January 22, 2013 By 20 Comments
I enjoyed your collection of photos – gives you a nice sense of your city.
Hi Colline – Thanks, though a couple of Mediterranean shots have crept in to confuse, The last three are definitely London
They did confuse – thought it was maybe in the country
LoL – I wish it was – it’d be a lot warmer than it is in London at the moment
But I suspect it’s colder where you are!
Minus 22 with the wind chill. Not pleasant. Though the snow is beautiful
The windmill is my favourite!
Thanks Andrew
yes the windmill stands out but i love the london shots too, especially the tourists!
Thanks Christine – those young ladies were moving at quite a pace, so I was lucky to be able to frame the shot successfully! Glad you liked it
The depth in these is far ‘beyond’ ordinary, Martin!
I really like them all (incredible atmosphere all-around)… although that wonderful smile in your third image really grabs some attention!
LoL – that IS quite a smile in the middle
I’m not quite sure where the three young belle dames were from though I suspect Germany. They were clearly enjoying their walk 
As for the depth – put it down to using a good quality lens and setting the aperture for the best resolution rather than depth of field. That’s usually somewhere around f5.6 to f10 depending upon the focal length of the lens. f8 – f9 work well for the Canon 24-70 L series though it’s pretty damn good at f5.6 too. All lenses have a sweet spot – you just have to find it
Wonderful pics for the challenge. I love that first one. It seems like you were up on the roof taking it.
Lol – there is a pedestrian area above that house that gives access to an important shrine so you can take views across the rooftops loking down to the coast. It probably looks better on a clear day
Glad to hear it.
Love your street photographs!
Thank you very much
These are great photos of ‘beyond’, you have a beautiful city
LoL Abby – London has its beautiful bits but the photographer has included some Spanish and French vistas in this post
Thanks for the kind comment 
Gorgeous photos — and different from your usual style and subjects.
Amazing versatility, Sir!
That’s very kind Judith – whilst Transport is my main subject I do like to photograph many other things too
