Depth of field

This week's project for a small photography group I'm involved with is depth of field. Here are some of the shots I took at the weekend outside the Norwich City Hall (a magnificent Scandinavian style building, bu that's another story).

Leicester city centre

I had a pleasant trip to Leicester last week with my daughter. She had never been to Leicester and I hadn't been to the city centre since my student days, so it seemed like an excellent choice for a day out. My only mental images of the centre were the clock tower and the market, but I had seen pictures of the new John Lewis building ands was really keen to see the building and try to take some interesting pictures (though in the end I only had my Ixus compact with me). We took the park ande ride into the centre - and this dropped us off very close to the Highgrove Centre - which is linked to John Lewis by a first floor bridge. The John Lewis is a glossy, shimmering and intriguing piece of architecture - always changing with the shifting light. There are some very keen security staff around the outside - one approached me and explained it was all right to photograph the building, but not the shop frontages underneath....hmm.....I agreed in order to avoid any trouble.

Anyway, here are a few images. There's a marvellous covered fruit and vegetable market and this is linked to a series of indoor markets, and some intrigiung shop frontages as well. Some things about Leicester centre have changed, but it's still recognisable. And we had a very pleasant lunch at Carluccio's too.
