Morning Commute by judithg

Morning Commute

I was off out early with Monty this morning so I could get on with work stuff which has piled up while I was computer-less. I also had in mind some nice sunrise shots which were thwarted by Adam producing an enormous blister 5 mins before the bus. After fruitless searches for enormous plasters I ended up driving him to a later bus which meant I was half an hour late for all the pink skies. Anyhow I spotted these people heading off to work across Midsummer Common in different directions. I like the fact that I'm not sure where to look in the photo for the subject.
Huge thanks for the fab response to yesterday's pics, especially Jeffrey Archer's garden. I may brace myself and go to the open garden in the summer - you can all be variously pleased or irritated that he lives in a fabulous place!! At least Mary is a hard-working scientist....
I love the capture of the sun and the silhouettes are perfect. Wonderful light through the windows.

Greatly composed picture. Love this early morning light!

I really like this, Judith. It's a very lovely shot. I like how you caught the sun flare and also the silhouette of the man; oh, and also the biker. I almost missed that. So much to see in this pic.

Nice. Like those crossed lines of action and the sunflare. Compeed - good for blisters!

@fueast Not playing basketball in your new astro shoes - also good for blisters!

The sun flare is awesome and the golden light through the windows

I love this. gorgeous light and it's like two images, the top one takes you off to the right and the bottom one, straight ahead.
January 17th, 2012  
Perfect timing with that biker. Brilliant.
January 17th, 2012  
Awesome!
January 17th, 2012  
Gorgeous light and silhouettes in this shot
January 17th, 2012  
Love the flare coming through, great capture.
January 17th, 2012  
I like the action here. One scene up, another analog one down. Very very clever. Great photo.
January 17th, 2012  
Oh, and the flare here is a plus.
January 17th, 2012  
You have your bike in this shot but also four other workers in this one shot so you did well !! I was trying to see if you had captured one I the signal box too but perhaps all automated now !! Wonderful layers of interest here & a great sun flare too !!!
January 17th, 2012  
There is so much to look at here, Judith. I love that. And the sun rays just make it for me - love sun rays.

Sometimes the most interesting shots come when you're not expecting them!
January 17th, 2012  
This sure captures the theme of the day - going to work and I love the way people are going in different directions - it makes it so much more interesting and makes you wonder what each of them does when they get t their destination

Fabulous light

@happypat I was just thinking that this looks like a railway bridge but it's actually a foot/cycle bridge over the river. The windows in the background are at the back of Midsummer House Restaurant which featured earlier in the month - funny how it's featured twice in quick succession from never! Is there a work theme going on - it's lucky if there is!
January 17th, 2012  
great timing and light
January 17th, 2012  
You caught that light at just the right place. Beautiful composition!
January 17th, 2012

January 17th, 2012

January 17th, 2012  
@judithg your fab most welcome
January 17th, 2012  
Great shot Judith. Love the timing here.
January 17th, 2012  
It almost seems like two separate images, sun flare is in perfect position and the people just add to a really great composition.
January 17th, 2012  
Fantastic capture and lovely lighting!
January 17th, 2012  
LOVE so much going on Judith would love to see it in b+w too
January 17th, 2012  
Lovely urban shot after yesterday's rural gentleness.
January 17th, 2012  
Wow- yet again you are just at the right place at the right time! Either half works extremely well on its own, but in the same frame separated by the flare, well, girl, you got it!!
January 17th, 2012  
Judith, very contre jour'ish and a bike too........what else could we ever want in a pic :) ...great composition
January 17th, 2012

January 18th, 2012  
That dreaded sun has once more retreated south bloody rain up here..drat..but fabulous picky though luv it...
January 18th, 2012  
Interesting composition. I really like it. The figure has a jauntiness which is appealing along with burst of sunlight.
January 19th, 2012
