Eastney's Yomper by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Eastney's Yomper

I was challenged to find a subject and take 20 (Only 20!!!!!??) shots from all angles and perspectives without moving said object and compile a collage.

I immediately thought of Eastney Barrack's Yomper who stands guard over The Solent. I've driven past him countless times, but to walk around him and see the detail on him was a privilege. Even the webbing on his rifle harness has texture.

I wasn't able to do a collage of 20 photographs, so here's 19 views of him @stephanies. I had no chance of moving him (well the council tried recently and failed!). Hope this is what you had in mind. I really enjoyed this challenge as I had to think and plan ahead, choose lenses and focal lengths and angles to shoot from and then the difficulty in picking the shots for the collage (and spotting those I picked twice!!) .
This is fabulous Jackie, what a great challenge and response to it

@stephanies Here you go, thank you very much for this challnge- as it really was a a push on my abilities for framing and PoVs.

@365anne Blimey Anne that was a quick response!! Thank you so very much. It was such an interesting challenge to do as the lighting changes as you move around and as you can see from the sky the weather changes if you take too long!!

I like the way you tackled this and assembled the collage - the flag makes a good contribution.

@quietpurplehaze thank you. Did think could be a bit jingoistic, but made the original photo so iconic so made sure to include it, when the wind didn't blow it out of shot!
