    My 365 Days project takes itself far too seriously, so this had to be my choice for today.

    Taken at the end of a business trip to Leeds (Victoria Quarter Leeds – UK).

  • Leeds Arcades & Market

    Leeds Arcades & Market — I’m in Leeds for a business meeting. With some spare time before my flight home, off I went exploring the arcades and the market. Copyright © 2007 Gary Allman, all rights reserved.

    I am in Leeds today for a University Software Users’ Group meeting. My flight back to Southampton doesn’t leave until this evening so I decided to spend some time wandering around Leeds’ Arcades and Market. I don’t think I’ve been to Leeds since the late seventies when my uncle lived here.

    It was a long time before I learned (and often forgot) that it’s best to remove your jewelry for pictures like this.

    Something nice and easy for the start of the week. With a simple single light source. After transferring the first set, I decided to set up a reflector and took far too many shots, then cropping and brightening a tad in Lightroom.

    Something traditional = No imagination today.

    I like the shadow at the top of the frame, I noticed it before I started taking the shot and wanted to include it.

    Things I dislike:

    • My hair.
    • The radiator.

    I love:

    • The light.
    • The texture of the sofa.

    The sofa(s) used to be burgundy, until one of the boys’ friends threw up on one after a drunken night out. Oh boy did that lose me some brownie points, as I’d given them the go-ahead to have everyone stay over. The PM disappears round her Mum’s when the lads have a night out, so I was notionally in charge.

    Robert and friends did all the cleaning up, and they bought the PM a box of chocolates and me a crate of beer to apologise. They all looked so sheepish the PM even gave them all a cooked breakfast, but only after they’d cleared up.

    Taken on the covered deck in the back garden. I was experimenting with negative space.

  • The view from my bed

    Now I’ve got an excuse to lay in bed all day and wait for something interesting to appear.

    I guess I’ll have to clean the window first though.
