The Gallery

Visited The Photographers Galery with Amber again. New exhibitions to see including entrants for Deutsche Borse prize 2015. Images and styles varied and hard hitting. Probably best viewed on separate days, so you can process and appreciate all the visual information. I enjoyed the display by Mihhael Subotzky and Patrick Waterhouse. A project documenting a decaying building and the effext on the residents.





I wouldn't like to be a judge on the panel, So many superb images and graphics. 

The plan was to hit the streets after the gallery, and despite the rain, we did manage to get a few shots.





I experimented with some slow shutter speeds, attempting to capture passers by in the rain, with their umbrellas and any other feature that would catch the eye, but I didn't get anything good enough to post. I did learn a few lessons, that background is still important even when blurred, and panning takes practise and patience. 

Eventually the rain defeated us, as we were worried about water in the cameras, so headed home to Herts.
