Looking Out - a photo on Flickriver

Looking Out

            Just back from a weekend in London with buddies Tim Green and Daniel Borg for the Open House 2014 event.  We managed to visit a surprising number of locations over the two days.  As with all Open House events everyone goes crazy to get their name down for the pre-book locations.  We also fell victim to this and as the weekend panned out it was actually the lesser known locations that actually were the winners (photographically speaking).  

Anyway, this was taken at 30 Crown Place (from the 15th floor, I think?).  We shot up the side of the building in a glass lift to the top and my fear of heights took a few moments to subside so decided to take a few paces back to climatise to my surroundings.  Really pleased I did as it gave me the opportunity to be a bit more creative.  I shot lots from this spot but chose this one as I think the poses were perfect (especially the person relatively central).  Its straight from camera too. :-)

Anyway, hope you are having a good week.

Lots more to follow. :-)
