Steel City Snapper photography
35mm, medium format and large format film photography (with the odd bit of digital every now and then…)
This house sat above the footpath that led from our hotel into an area of bars and restaurants. I liked the nice, isometric appearance of the structure emerging from the foliage.
Access to these properties is by sets of steps, but as they sit on the hillside between the footpath and a road that runs behind them further up the hill, there is a climb or descent no matter which route the occupiers take.

Just one of those little scenes that catch your eye when you have a camera to hand sometimes. I probably would have photographed it even if the bicycle hadn’t been present, but I think it adds to the shot.

I already posted a picture of this yacht when I was uploading “on location” during our holiday, but the photo below (and the other shots in this post) was taken earlier that day when my wife and I took a walk along the coastal path that led from our hotel to an area of restaurants, bars and shops.

The building in the centre of this photograph is the Franciscan monastery in Dubrovnik Old Town, or the entrance at least. The building at right of frame is part of the same structure and behind this is the pleasant open courtyard area accessible upon entry. To the right is the northern city wall, and the steps that can just be made out are where I accessed the wall a couple of days later.
I like the busyness of this photograph, with the bustling tourists in front of the monastery entrance. The Olympus Trip 35 has rendered the scene with impressive clarity, helped by the fine grain of the Fomapan 100 film. Click on the picture to see it in more detail.

Another shot taken on my walk into the office the other week. The building the person is walking in front of is the same one I posted another picture of here.

This was a very quick, spur-of-the-moment picture, but one that I think turned out quite nicely.
It’s a scene looking west down one of the side streets in Dubrovnik old town towards the city wall in the background. Pretty much all of these narrow streets were bustling with restaurants and bars like in this scene.

I’ll be posting pictures without commentary while my mental batteries take a break and hopefully recharge. Please feel free to use your imagination to fill in the blanks. 🙂
Normal nonsense will resume shortly…

I’m sure that someone could have made a much better photograph from this scene, but I was limited somewhat by my location (peering through a window at the Photo North exhibition) and the 50mm lens I had on the camera. It was a great juxtaposition of events: a wedding photograph being taken on the steps of the council offices (at top left), and a Gaza demonstration.
