A Stroll Along The River.
Most photographers will tell you that they always have a camera with them....well most of the time. It does begin to feel, if you do it for a living or are passionate about photography as if a camera is attached to your hip. Some believe, in this day and age of fast media that you should have a camera on you at all times, just in case you come across a newsworthy event. Now, what if you go out for a stroll and don't think or forget to take a camera. Well fortunately most of us essentially have one in our pockets at all times in the form of a camera phone.
This happened to me yesterday. I had been doing a bit of DIY at home and found that I had ran out of paint. As it wasn't a bad day weather wise, we actually had some bright blue sky in Leicester, I decided to take a walk canal side along the River Soar to my nearby DIY superstore that shall remain nameless. Before reaching my destination I came upon the old sluice mechanism at Evans Weir. I already had an idea in my mind for my Phoneye shot of the day but when I came upto the weir, the dappled light on the old rusted cog was just too good to resist. Serendipity, mmm. I'm just glad I had the means to capture what became my shot of the day. Read on to see how I adjusted the image.
