I
have always loved these alcoves, drawn to the contrast between the soft
shadows on the curve, and the hard edge of the wall. Using a tilf-shift
lens, I have the camera even with the top of the alcove, and have
dropped the lens, to exagerate the perspective of the floor.

Even
through they are almost 150 years old, the 7" RML guns at the Citadel
are in amazing shape, and provide a beautiful subject to work with.

This
whole session was flavoured by the long lens I was using (a Sigma
120-400mm); I am not completely sold on lenses this long, as I find it
harder to relate to the subject from the distances it forces upon the
process. All the same, images like this, abstracting the side of the RML
into repeating shapes, couldn't be realized with another lens.
