Phone Box in the Spring

[Hamish Gill]

Ive just treated my self to a nikon 50mm 1.4g (to replace the 50mm 1.4d)
On the way home I took a few test shots ... this is a sharp lens!!

anyway, much pp'd I quite like this (as test shots go )

I love the colors in this and also the multiplicity of frames around the phone box. (the brick, the tree, etc.)

I really like that shot Hamish........... Brings out that "spring feeling" ........... even if it's grey, miserable and about to chuck-it down here where I am..........

[Davie Hudson]

for me that picture goes beyond genius, it has everything that would keep me happy

 

[Hamish Gill]

Cheers all
Very kind indeed!

 

[Pete Askew]

Nice Hamish. I'm intrigued by the archway behind the phonebox though. I like the PP you used.

 

[Hamish Gill]

So am I ... Ita a really good bit of wall! I'll take some more shra if I think to...

 

[Kev Pugh]

very nice Hamish, so many framing points, the tree, the telegraph pole and the arch it self nice, I just wish that bunch of blossom that just comes in front of the phone box wasn't there though...

where is it?

 

[Davie Hudson]

Hamish can I use this picture as the background on my phone ?

 

[Hamish Gill]

I quite like it there Kev, I moved to position it there and everything :/

Of course Davie ... I'd take it as quite a compliment!

 

[Hamish Gill]

... It's at the corner of the road where the original bit of bath road meets london road ... By the 44 bus stop

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thought You might have TBH. ........and that's where I thought it was but couldn't put my finger on it..

 

[Darren Turner]

WOW that pwetty H .........!!

Nice framing with the tree, dont think it would have been as good without the blossom. Well spotted

As for the lens, seem to produce nice shot to my eye.

Thanks Darren!

It's very sharp ... Very sharp indeed ...
I'm going to attempt a lens review at some point this week I think but my thoughts on it so far are pretty damn positive

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Very cool Hamish - could be a brochure shot for BT

Very British!

 

[Pete Askew]

Apart from them having disowned all the red boxes - idiots. But I agree, very English indeed!!

 

[Hamish Gill]

I nearly called it "an English spring" ... But that's a bit clever for my liking ...
Phonebox in spring was going quite far for me ... My normal convention would have called it "phonebox and blossom"

Cheers Chris

[Hamish Gill]
