Seeing double by vikdaddy

Seeing double

I woke up today and the weather was not good. I mentioned in yesterday's post that I planned on going to the Peak District today, but it was raining all morning. Although it cleared up a bit later on, there were still strong gusts. Luckily us Brits have tomorrow off too, so I'll go in the morning instead.

Because my plans were postponed I had the afternoon free, so I went into town to do a bit of shopping. I took a few random snaps on my way to meeting a friend.

I know this shot's not the best and is a bit of a filler, but I liked how the sun shone on top of the phone boxes. I cheated with the lens flare, as I added it in Photoshop. I know it's a bit unnatural but I needed to spruce up this image! This is the second time I've taken a photo of a phone box (or two); I last did on day 18.

I showed my parents some of my photos for the first time. It was quite nice because I think they were genuinely impressed with my work. My dad is notoriously hard to please, so the few positive words he uttered meant a lot!

Great lighting and perspective!

Nice lighting! This is so interesting to me! I've never seen one in person let alone two in the same place!

You very seldom see these around anymore, and you found two of them.

Forgot to congratulate you on making the top 20. Way to go.

Our phone booths, when you can find them anymore, are just a phone on a pole. I really like this photo, the phone booths have such character. The sun shining behind is nice also.

Bloody Hell Vik!!! You seem to beat me to every idea I have! I also spotted some old, now disused red boxes near me the other week and thought I'd snap them one day... Oh well.... better think of something else :-)

Nice pic!

I love this, actually.

This is so cool! The lens flare does add a nice bit of balance to it. Phone booths (especially red ones!!!) are so fun/awesome. :D
