Underpass

Starting to play around with black and white for this month's Flash of Red, though this isn't my official entry. Under the Great Cambridge Road.

Beautiful bright and sunny but still cold. Tried to head into the office early as I had a half day but failed miserably especially with a couple of stops - into Sainsbury's to pick up crisps contributions and Pret for a naughty cheese toastie breakfast - setting the pattern for a day of junk eating.

Busy as it always seems to be when you're leaving early with issues with the campaign site URL and other things to sort. Got a haircut asking her not to cut it too short as Dave's not keen, but now I'm not keen on how quiffy it is.

Scoffed a salmon sandwich with crisps and a delicious coconut chocolate thing from Pret - more rubbish eating - before leaving to go to Dave's work.

They'd decided to have a games afternoon and as they finish at 2.30, I needed to leave early to get there. A very jolly afternoon and early evening of more naughty food and several games: Articulate (twice), our picture Telestrations game (twice) and Blackjack which I never really took to.

Drove home giving Sharon a lift and talking about her great night at the Abba show.

Love this b&w image, full of leading lines and symmetry. I get the hair thing, I am always trying to get my hairdresser NOT to cut too much off. I always start liking it just as I'm due a cut!

[Babs]

I love the symmetry on this one and the person really turns it into a storytelling image fav

[Oli Lindenskov]

Great shot like it👍😊

[Suzanne]

Wonderful shot from a very busy day!

[Brian]

Awesome

[Wylie]

eerie shot, a bit post apocalyptic

[Casablanca]

Brilliant shot. Love the lines and slight creepiness

[Corinne C]

Fabulous perspective and great choice of black and white.
I’m not fussy with my hair cut, shorter means I won’t need to go back so soon, which is perfect for me 😀

[Kerry McCarthy]

Cool image.

[Susie]

Neat image

[John]

Love cool perspective

[Fisher Family]

A lovely shot, good perspective and nice leading lines. Works well in B&W as well, Fav!

[Cordiander]

That sounds like a day from when we were 20 :). Congratulations, very well done!

[Susan Wakely]

Great leading lines.

[Pat Knowles]

Lovely lines & long line. I’m not so keen on an underpass they can be creepy!

[Margaret Brown]

Super lines and pov

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely shot, works well in B&W. Always a bit wary of underpasses. Your days always seem so full & busy.

[haskar]

Cool pov and shot.

[Christina]

Love this

[Renee Salamon]

Ed have one just like that in Hendon - Ive loved taking shots in there at various times of the day

[Tia]

Very cool shot. Love all the tones on the tiles.

@happypat @carole_sandford just to put your minds at rest, this one is very short and easy to cross very quickly and also well used. I'll tell you a secret - there was a second person in the tunnel but I thought it was a better composition with just the one, so I magic-erased them out!

[LManning (Laura)]

Fantastic patterns and lines.

[Kathy A]

I like the sound of a magical eraser, I wish I had one.

I really want to know what colours the wall tiles are

[4rky]

Great symmetry - the lone pedestrian is a nice focus point

[Madeleine Pennock]

This is a good image but needs to bump up the contrast and colour swapping to make it more impactful. Again try playing in post production and see what you achieve.

[Boxplayer]

@marshwader I see what you mean about the contrast, not sure what colour swapping is. I use basic post processing, Google photos and Snapseed?
