Victoriana II

Victoriana again
Nikon D70s
Nikkor 18-200 @ 48mm
F/4.8
1/180s

Here's another one of the photos I took of the Victorian letterbox. This one is close-cropped narrow to accentuate the tall slim brickwork column and the box front itself. Being closer, you can see the texture of the brickwork, the ivy, the lichen, and years of repainting over old peeling paint. There's an 'old and new' thing here too: whilst the box is Victorian, the collection times clearly are anything but.

Happy now?

  1. I am indeed. on the photo course we did with David Bell he set a homework of taking a shot, then moving much closer. Then move closer still and take an abstract of the same thing.

    If you are still awaiting a flight out maybe you could go back and take a third shot REALLY close up and show us some of those textures you liked
