So here are some of my photos that I took in Wallington, finally                

               
                                      
                                           I was pleased with this shot of Pricebusters 
                                      
                                        Just a shot of Wallington Library

One of my favorite shots, a guy who was just about to have a smoke.  I focused on him and used a large aperture  to isolate him and his silhouette. There is a B&W version of this shot that I improved on photoshop which I am very pleased with and I think looks very classic that I uploaded on my flickr account. The link to it here is below...

                                      Not sure if this guy saw me or not

                                       
                                   Not sure why I put this shot up, I just like it

Was going to take a photo of someone buying something in Munch but there was no one in there so decided to get a shot of the cakes and other  bits and pieces with a reflection of the high street in the window. Turned out pretty well!

My original idea of the contrast of old and new didn't really work for this shot as I had forgotten when thinking of the shot that there was a walkway and too many railings. Also I misjudged the height and the angle of the shot that I was thinking of from memory.

Just a shot of some people at a bus stop opposite Sainsburys. Luckily no one noticed me taking the shot ;)


I have taken some shots of people inside shops which turned out well but I promised and said that I wouldn't put them on the web or use them for anything else apart from my project. So definitely not suitable for blogging around the web! ;P


Will be posting some more stuff up soon. Feel free to comment :)

Just started my blog as part of the above college photography assignment.

I have to imagine I am taking documentary photos during 2012 as a contribution to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations and am going to cover the daily life of the Surrey town of Wallington.

Pages to be added shortly will cover some local history of the area and its shops.

Any ideas and feedback are welcome from anyone who wants to give me some help with this.

Will be uploading some of my photos and experiences very soon - looking forward to your comments!
