My favorite from this week is Christopher Strevens “Blockbuster” which in case that woman doesn’t know it, is what is in the pram. Dan Mitchell’s shot of Kirkcaldy has nice drama with the low angle and shooting into the sun. Ironically, I have been to that spot, but I stood down near where the person is standing and so my shot is totally different and although it has low angle drama, Dan’s light is better. I suppose going out behind a Harley is okay, as you’re not going to hear it. I wonder if that is street legal in the US? And where are the pallbearers going to be? My shot of the Cullen Viaduct is really of the shadows, not the stonework. Other viaducts in Scotland (of which I have shot many) are not of brick, but rather large cut stone blocks of pink or reddish stone. They may all be made of concrete and faced with natural stone, but I have not seen any in actual brick. Bob McCulloch’s shot of the coming storm is my kind of shot. I think shooting weather is one of the most intriguing and variable subjects we as photographers can record. Emily Ferguson’s shot of the floats is calm and restful and ominous all at once. I think I would have put the camera down in the forest of anchors and used a very wide lens to emphasize the tension. It’s nice to see such powerful images showing up in the PF show.
