Tate Modern.

by pauljay

As so many people have done this scene justice in the past I feel a little guilty putting my take on the subject up here. It can look very impressive when there is direct sunlight coming through the windows but it was not to be on that day.
K-5/Tamron 28-300mm

Great shot. I thought it was Grand Central Station, NY, at first.

All the best

You are way to modest, this is sensational. The people are positioned perfectly to lead the eye through the frame to the doorway and thus upwards to the windows, first rate composition.

Its a good shot, of one of my favourite places. I have a bunch from the summer but could not get them to work (hmm, gonna have to have another go at those ).

This 'tighter' shot works well and suits the conversion.

Thanks for the comments guys (and Maria!). You obviously have a far more positive attitude than I!
I'm about to extract an S1a from the collection and load it with B&W. Hope I can get digital versions of the results.
