Today is the first of the month & is blogger theme day. Today's topic is entitled 'What annoys you about your city'. Mine is posts. Be it lamp, telegraph or traffic lights. Every time I try and take a photo of a building or scene, there is at least one pole in the way. This photo of a Watson Fothergill designed pub on Mansfield Road has 6 posts distracting you from the building. I try standing in a different position, but it does no good. A global problem I know & the only way out is to keep employing Photoshop, which alas I don't know how to use.
52 sites are participating in today's theme day. Here are the links. Please try to visit them all, but remember about time differences. We are global.

Amazing how you start to notice things more when you point a camera, isn't it?
ReplyDeletePosts and powerlines...indeed annoying to the photographer!
ReplyDeletewell, the poles gives it the character of that place. live with it. hahaha. photoshop can't make it instantly disappear. unless you are super super patient. :-p
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique pet peeve in our global tour of what bugs us. I think your hit on something universal for us all and stated it. Great illustrative shot (and wonderful building). Perhaps we should start making the posts and obstructions a major element in our shots ;^). Love your sunny day shadows in this!

Great captured! In Tenerife DP is something like that too!
ReplyDeleteGreeting from Madrid, I think it's my first time in your blog...
Filmmakers must always digitalise stuff like this out, eh?
ReplyDeleteI agree. I spend a fair amount of time planning my shots around the poles!
