Seat of learning

The temperatures have hit 21C in Nottingham over the last few days.

This is one of my street shots, showing two gentlemen sat on a bench outside Arnold library having a chit chat.

The bright lunchtime light has made a few bits blown out, but it was the best shot I could do as Ruby and myself had a quick walk during a break from work.

Great black and white

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

[Pat Knowles]

Legs look like they are out for the first time !!! Super Phil & two chappies having a lovely gossip !! Every day life to a T !

[Mags]

Great candid, Phil and a very nice black and white! Lovely sunshine and your shadows are not harsh at all! Nice balance of highlights and shadows! Crisp exposure and contrast! Well done!

[Steve Hollingsworth]

Great shot phil .. Need to try some street stuff myself

[Anita]

Hasn't it been beautiful! The Market Square was buzzing on Tuesday.

[Sue Wilde]

Great candid Phil. Do you take Ruby to work with you?

[Judith Greenwood]

[Phil Howcroft]

@kerristephens thnx kerri

[Phil Howcroft]

@tishpics thank you very much for all the kind words

[Juliette Packham]

captured a great moment in time here Phil - the B&W suits it well - those "blown out" bits are surely being generated form that mans legs...first exposure of English skin requires heavy shades!!

[Allison Williams]

I do like the feeling of capturing a timeless moment. Even in B&W I can feel the welcoming sunshine and the sense of ease. Lovely shot, Phil.

@allie912 thank you allison, this is outside our library. I will have to post an image of the library as it's a very 70's design ..all concrete and squares...not the most picturesque building you could wish to see !
