another view

Trying out some constructive hints from my 365 friends and taking a different composition of the lovely old buildings at St Cross almshouses.

Taken with Ray's smartphone camera as I'd forgotten to put the memory card back in my Sony. I shall go back and get another shot some time but I think maybe, after all, I quite like the tree in the foreground of yesterday's shot.

The little stream is just visible on the right.

Good to get feedback - thank you @phil_howcroft and @dolphin and @olivetreeann

I like this pov... and the light striking the building nicely... hate that moment when you realize that you have not put the memory card back in the camera..

@julzmaioro

I hate that too, Julia, as you feel so powerless!!! (My little Lumix has a fair amount of internal memory but unfortunately the Sony does not.)

@quietpurplehaze I have a double card in my new camera which is good but I have left the battery out

@julzmaioro

So many things to trip one up. And all that before you start on settings on the camera!

Nice capture against the blue sky. I like yesterdays tree shot better.

[Joyce]

Great POV and capture Hazel.

I have no need to take my card out when I upload my photos on my iPad thank goodness but many a time run out of battery. I need to get another but they are £40 so have put it off because as long as I remember to charge it I am ok. This is a beautiful old house Hazel....the shape & smooth stone work plus beautiful arched windows are truly lovely.

Wonderful picture.

@happypat

I'm a bit too extravagant taking photos to be without a 2nd battery - I got my second one at London Camera Exchange. It's not a gen one but OK and half the price.

I like the tree in your yesterday's shot.

[Phil Howcroft]

a better POV by far Hazel, even with a smartphone :)

@phil_howcroft

@phil_howcroft

Just been having a look at some of your lovely shots on Flickr...

Beautiful tranquil image. I like the tree branches in the foreground, gives it depth. I hate when I forget the memory card I have done it a few times so I keep a spare one in my camera bag all the time.

[Jules Sparrow]

Lovely clear picture Hazel!

[Rosan]

Very lovely and nicely framed.

[Christine]

Lovely shot

Sorry it took me a few days to see this- Yes! It's really so nice this way. The tree frames the building beautifully.
