Church spire, chimney's, roof  and clock by phil_howcroft

Church spire, chimney's, roof and clock

Newark On Trent's Church spire, stands aloft, the clock says 11.20, the chimney's and roof add a nice bit of foreground interest and the monochrome catches the tones and textures on a sunny December morning

I haven't don a 3 good thing on my narrative for a while, so lets have a go ...........

1 Got some nice Christmas food goodies from Waitrose and Marks and Sparks

2 Got some nice Christmas Wine from Sainsbury's ..Campo Viejo Gran Reserva

3 A nice sunny winters day
Nice BW shot and architecture.

Wow, what an impressive church. Beautiful shot, Phil, love the contrast with the foreground buildings, texture and size!

@tishpics thanks patricia, i've got converging verticals though...pointing my camera up from 150 metres away makes it impossibble not to get 'em
December 9th, 2012  
What are converging verticals? i think you worry too much!!
December 9th, 2012  
You've been working the supermarkets Phil! Nice contrasty image - I keep meaning to take the clock at King's because the time is wrong- which obviously doesnt actually have any impact on the photo but i like the idea!

@fannyb thanks fanny, converging verticals occurr when you point your camera up and try to photograph a building or architecture ...the building starts sloping ...the vertical lines start converging inwards.... you can correct it post processing if you have the knack in photoshop or GIMP or something like that....but I don't have the knack...well i probably do but don't have the patience !!

@judithg tanks judith, we usually go to newark on trent once a month because it has a waitrose ....nottingham only has a tiny 'city centre waitrose' ...a bit like a tesco metro ........would you believe Arnold was going to get a Waitrose ...on the site of an old big laundry....but when the landlord realised waitrose wanted to but the land he upped the fee / rent .......the site is still derelict !!!

Like the view Phil & it works really well in B&w

@phil_howcroft That's greed for you!
December 9th, 2012  
@phil_howcroft would have brought a lot of really good jobs to Arnold as well...

Sun, food, wine and a lovely shot make for a great day! The clock is quite festive in design. Looks like a star!
