This week, for the Lens-Artists Challenge, Ritva urges us to show what happens when we break the established rules – well – guidelines really, in photography. So I went out for a walk that very evening intent on doing so: and took this shot directly into the sun.
I quite like it. But then rules are made to be broken.
But they’re there for purpose. ‘Don’t take shots through a window’, they say. Well, you can see why in the next two shots. But I like them both: one for its evocation of a typical English keep-your-coat-on sort of day at the seaside: the other for showing that on some days, staying behind a protective wall of glass really is the only option.
And when it comes to wildlife… well, wildlife hasn’t heard the rules, and doesn’t either stand still, hover or otherwise mark time: Especially Arctic tern with eggs and offspring to guard. So you take what you can get.
‘Don’t take photos through glass AND from a moving train.’ Well, why not? Newcastle at night …
Finally, I recently took this photo in – or around – Masham Church. I haven’t a clue where exactly I was or what was going on, so I must have broken every rule in the book.
But I don’t care.
