Yorkshire Steps

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 20 May 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

This is a photo I took in a small town just outside Halifax in Yorkshire.

I really liked the opposing angles formed by the stairs, the railings and their shadows, and the road. I could hear the van coming so I waited to get it in shot to finish the image.

This is one of those photos that I could just 'see' working in B&W before I'd even pressed the shutter button :-)

I'm heavily influenced with his kind of composition by the photography of the famous Alexander Rodchenko

I've decided to enter the 'Cool Photoblogs' annual competition again this year. I'd really appreciate a vote from any of you who like my blog and who feel up to going through the registration process that is required in order to be able to vote: 2009 Photoblog Awards

Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.
