QOTW vol.3 cont'd

Melanie says:
These are my current favorites -- One black and white and one color. They were taken while Nick and I were on our vacation in Europe a few weeks ago.



- The black and white I took while were walking around the smaller streets and alleys in Florence, Italy. (Ilford 125 ISO, f/8 and I let the camera adjust the shutter speed). I really like the perspective -- I got down low so that the buildings would be exaggerated and the bike would be the main focus.




- The color photo is from when we were at Westminster Abbey in London, England. (Fuji 200, f/16 and I let the camera adjust the shutter speed). I just like playing with perspective. The sky was a gorgeous blue, and the clouds were arranged just perfectly so that the lions take center-stage. Without the clouds, I don't think this photo would be as striking.
