This is an image that i captured which incorporates the HMS Marlborough figurehead and Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower. I was looking for an alternative angle to photograph the tower along with a way of linking the Portsmouth’s naval history with the new modern appearance that it is presented through Gunwharf Quays.
I know the Spinnaker Tower is one of the most photographed buildings in the UK but I still like this shot that I captured. There was a very convenient light behind me, which helped to illuminate the rocks in the foreground. It gives this image a staged feel. My worst enemy – the orange reflection of the streetlights on the clouds doesn’t help this image. Ah well better brush up on my Photoshop skills and republish it.
Taken with a blue filter this night shot worked well with all of the traffic streaming towards me. The picture was taken in my early photography stages but I experimented and often that is how I develop my best shots.
I am currently in my second year at the University of Portsmouth where i am studying a degree in Design for Interactive Media. I am a keen photographer and I am often out trying to capture my best shots with my Canon EOS. I also enjoy Dinghy and Offshore sailing along with all racquet sports.
I discovered my passion for photography during a University unit titled ‘Introduction to Photography’. As is clear from the name, the unit was designed to teach you the basics behind photography, however I found myself wanting to explore a lot more than the basics. I started to walk through my day-to-day life with half of my attention searching for the next perfect shot. I have an interest in all areas of digital photography, however, as you will see from my images, I have an especially keen interest in wildlife, landscape and nighttime photography.
