2014 moments #1

I would like to share my 10 most memorable photographs of the year over the next 10 days with you. These are shots that I am particularly proud of, while each evokes a sense of place and meaning from 2014.

GALLERY WITH A VIEW

This photograph was taken on a visit to London’s Tate Modern art gallery. It is the upper floor cafe, which offers a spectacular view over the city, with the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral dominating the sight. I saw this frame as soon as I exited the lift, and wanted the figures to be in silhouette against the skyline. I like the result. It’s been another year of capturing this great city, and this is a London favourite.

Love this shot. It reminds me right away of some of Andy Hooker’s excellent work at his LensScaper blog, and that is a very good thing.
Tate Modern did not exist when i lived in London in the late 80s, which is a shame. It would have been a destination for me.

  That is indeed! I am also a fan of Andy’s captures. Tate Modern is well worth a look even if you (I should be saying this!) skirt around the art.

    My London dwelling sister will be exhibiting at Tate Britain in the spring, the opening for which should be sufficient motivation to get me to London. Sadly cost is a factor.

      Therein lies the snag – it’s not exactly cheap to make our way to these places…

Great image, Mike! Very evocative and I love the slightly dated feel. :)

  Thanks Richard! I’m taking a leaf out of your book and publishing a daily post for this little series… a break from the norm :)

  Thank you Lee. This rather goes against my regular pattern but I thought it would be interesting to see what comes of it.

    It’s good to break the mould occasionally :)

      It is. The one post a day thing has never been my way. Mould is good, no?

    oops, I think that should have been ‘mold’ not mould.
