Standing Room Only
With a number of new buildings being constructed within this vicinity, there are now only a few locations where it is possible to capture a mostly unrestricted view of this iconic building as it stands beside taller but some would argue less attractive buildings. I elected to process the image in a black and white style as I was keen to use both the light and shadow within the image to emphasise depth and presence and to guide the viewers eye towards the main subject.

entry description
The City of London area is a historic part of the capital city of London and is a mixture of modern and traditional architecture. From this particular vantage point on an adjoining roof top garden, I wanted the main subject to be 30 St Mary Axe, known locally as the Gherkin.With a number of new buildings being constructed within this vicinity, there are now only a few locations where it is possible to capture a mostly unrestricted view of this iconic building as it stands beside taller but some would argue less attractive buildings.

about the photographer
I live in Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland and my passion for photography has grown over the years. My main interests include Architecture, Landscape and Seascape. Over the past few years I have become more immersed in the Black and White Fine Art genre and predominately focus my time and attention into learning and developing more of my photography in this field.back to gallery
