Point & shoot

In the foreword for this month's Photo Challenge I spoke about point & shoot. I'm sure I don't need to mansplain so I'll quickly cut to the chase: the current Mrs Medd and I nipped into town earlier this evening for a couple of drinks followed by a rather splendid Chinese meal. Walking to the bus stop to wend our way home, just as the light was fading, I fired off a trio of quick pics all taken with my phone and all three within 50 metres of one another. I was pointing and I was shooting. (Ignore the stopped clock at the main Post Office (above) - tho' as we all know it will be right twice a day.)

    1. Pointing and shouting is what I'll be doing when I'm really in my dotage; I will be 'that guy' at the bus stop with his Tesco carrier bag haranguing all and sundry.

  2. Great "shots". I love photos taken at dusk but never seem to pull it off myself.

    That red post box is a bit of an optical illusion - is it sloped or not? I suspect not but because of the railings and the brickwork at the top it looks so.

    1. You should try it, Alyson. The twilight zone!

      Yep, it's on a ramp!

    1. Cheers, Adam. Hmm, dusk. Could well be a future PC.

  4. You really do have an instinctive eye for a great shot. Who would've thought a simple photo of a petrol station could be so striking, and yet...
