Microwave Shadow

2014-FM-001-026

This shadow caught my eye – at first I thought it was a line of window reflections, which seemed odd.

Cold Fingers

2014-FM-001-025

I like the way light from adjacent buildings is reflected across the street.

The glasses have mirrors in them so when you wear them you look at your feet.

Square Lines VII

2014-GS-001-026-3

The last, for a while anyway, in my series  of light, shadow and reflected light made in Market Square.

For me it is a toss up between the monochrome and colour versions, though I think the monochrome wins.

All have been shot on film while testing cameras.
