Out & About # 7 - Sound, Lerwick

Pictured above is a photograph of some metal sheets I photographed near the banks of Sound, Lerwick.  I was driving home around 6pm and noticed the nice evening light.  I was particularly drawn to the sheets because of their rich colours and textures.  After searching around for different angles, I opted for this composition.  I really like the curvature of the metal with its strong, rich colour complimented with a deep blue sky with puffy clouds in the background.

I’ve been experimenting lately with a Nikon D300 DSLR but took these photographs with my trusty old Canon EOS 20D.  The wide-angle 17-40mm L lens really did the trick on this occasion.
