I really like #10 for the dramatic composition.

A great series, Howard - including quite a number of unusual angles (e.g. #5 and #10).
My favorites are #1, #4, #7 and #12 and on top: #3 - a fine, and again: unusual image of a reflection. TFS! |

Nice to see many of these again (most are on the Oxford flickr group).
#5 is really interesting, not only because it's a great image, but the way the phone has captured a very wide angle with a huge dynamic range - is it an HDR mode or somesuch? TFS |

What a beautiful autumn afternoon for your photo walk through Oxford.
Love the images showing the juxtaposition of the medieval with the modern, and am really taken by the reflections. TFS. |

In the spirit of a sort of Dyxum Mini Meetup - except that this was virtual as neither Phil nor I spotted the other - I offer some of my photos from the Oxford Architectural Photowalk, organised by the Oxford Photowalk and Oxford Flickr groups. I'm a moderator for the latter, organising monthly lunchtime meetups, but I was just a passenger for this pleasant afternoon's photo-stroll.
If you haven't seen them already I recommend looking at Phil's photos here. All photos A7 III unless specified otherwise. 1 Pusey Lane photographer | FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS This is behind St Cross College and the Ashmolean Museum, and already we were chasing reflections, one way or another. 2 St Cross College West Quad | Niall McLaughlin, 2017 | FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS 3 St Cross reflections | FE 24-70mm F4 ZA OSS 4 Street furniture, Oxford | Samyang 14mm F2.8 An Oxford lamp post and K6 (I think) telephone box. The latter was designed by George Gilbert Scott, who also designed the Martyrs' Memorial further down St Giles, beyond the trees in this photo. And that's St John's College providing a graceful backdrop for the shadows to fall on. 5 St Johns College Kendrew Quad | Forgive me, it's a OnePlus 7T phone shot (with UWA lens) Architects: MacCormac Jamieson & Prichard, 2010 6 Keble reflected | Tamron SP 70-300mm zoom USD A reflection of the Victorian college in the 21st century Kendrew Quad building 7 Keble gargoyle | Tamron SP 70-300mm zoom USD You come to Oxford, you gotta getta gargoyle 8 Ominous | Tamron SP 70-300mm zoom USD I think this is part of the Earth Science building; I really ought to know too! 9 Chimneys old and new | Tamron SP 70-300mm zoom USD The New Chemistry building has an attractive array of extraction units and suchlike, which contrasts nicely with the chimneys from a different era nearby. 10 Earth Sciences Building | Samyang 14mm F2.8 Architects: Wilkinson Eyre, 2010 11 New Biochemistry reflection | Tamron SP 70-300mm zoom USD Architects: Hawkins\Brown, 2008. Phil's lovely abstraction of the building came second in the photowalk competition. My last three shots are smartphone shots ... 12 Old physics reflection | OnePlus 7T, with Tele lens 13 Andrew Wiles Building | OnePlus 7T, with standard lens Penrose tiling on the forecourt of the Mathematical Institute, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Oxford 14 Into the sun | OnePlus 7T, with UWA lens At the end of the walk we approached the Blavatnik building through the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter. Architects: Herzog & de Meuron, 2015 The winners of the photowalk competition can be seen at https://oxfordphotowalk.wordpress.com/2019/11/24/architecture-november-2019-photo-contest/ Thanks for looking! |
