Share Six Blog Circle – May 2018 | Urban

Another month has been and gone, and here in New England Spring has finally landed! What better excuse to get out and about in glorious weather than a street photography theme. This month at Share Six we want to see your best {Urban} images.

It’s been a busy month round here so I’ve not been able to shoot specifically for this theme. Looking through my archives, it turns out I don’t really do Urban anything! I’ve always told my husband that I want to live in the country, whereas he’d be totally happy in the city with all of its hustle and bustle, but my photographs tell me that I’m supposed to be surrounded by nature. And photography wins, so there you have it, rural-living wins!

Anyway, I digress. I do love street photography, I just don’t seem to do it a whole lot. So I’ve had to dig far far back to find a variety and images I’ve not shared before. Here a few of my favourites from the past few years and a couple from even further back. You may have seen some of couple of them before, and for that I make no apologies.

I took the image of the Houses of Parliament in 2014, but it’s taken me 4 years to process it. I had only just started shooting manual (literally two days before) and we went on a special evening trip into London so I could experiment with shutter speed. How I long to be there to apply all that I know now! Perhaps this summer I can make that happen?!

There are so many options with this theme: details, cityscapes, documentary and creative techniques. We want to see it all!

Thank you for joining us for another month at Share Six. Please continue around the circle by clicking HERE. I can’t wait to see how the exceptionally talented Nicola of Nicola MacQueen Photography interpreted this month’s theme.

Join us for this month’s theme by posting your {Urban} images on our Facebook page at SHARE SIX and to our Instagram gallery, by tagging #sharesix and #sharesix_urban. A new theme will be posted on 6th June.

  1. Ceri these are great.  I love the light lights up to Big Ben.  St Marks in Venice is always a favorite of mine and I love the reflective night shot in California.  For someone who prefers rural you have a great collection of cityscapes here.  Thanks for sharing.  

  2. You lucky person visiting all these wonderful places! Fantastic set of images, each one unique but capturing the essence of the place. The ICM is stunning, but I adore the New York image as it conjures up my own wonderufl memories of visiting. 

  3. The way you see and capture the world always astounds me. The ICM of the lines (Dallas I think) is so stunning! And the leading lines in the London image are incredible. Congrats on your website update – it looks amazing! 

  4. Ceri, these are beautiful!! I especially LOVE the night skyline and the long exposure!! They are stunning! What talent!
