Re: What would you do

He's ok without the railing, he's use to walking across bridges with high walls as he grew up in the Alps so height doesn't worry him.

I work near London bridge so I'm trying to find better spots but just trying out scenes now so I can get everything in focus. I prefer the details in Black and White to all be in focus, of light bokeh as I think the details in the background add to the image where as in colour they can be a distraction.

I take thousands of shots with Murray in locations all around Europe. The 28mm lens is great and there are many possibilities such as creating panoramas, focus stacking or using low shutter speeds such as 1/15 or 1/30 which I'd never normally use. I can't always choose the location as it's more taking what I see as I walk around.

The boat was intentional with his head between the bridge spans and trying to capture new (boat), industrial (bridge), modern city (sky scrapers) and the old (church type building - thinking about it now, they may be one of my web design clients)

The image is cropped for instagram but I'm trying to not crop vertically, although it has a slight vertical crop.

London is very buy so it's trying to get the details in as best I can to a composition but it still needs work.

I've just bought a monopod so that should help with focus stacking.
