The City Of Durham

Took these on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday; no idea why but the sunshine did wonders for the focus, and I definitely got lucky with the composition on occasions. I haven't bothered making any grayscale either, the colours are too vibrant to throw away and level-manipulation didn't pay off.

I like the second photo best. It's a clear, pretty picture but it doesn't really keep my attention for long. The rest of the photos lack a good composition in my opinion, too much noise / details on them

Agreed, but it wasn't really a photo shoot of sorts. I was down town with two other friends and they sorta hurried me along. Next time I'll consider my shots more carefully.

Yeah i see. Oh it has to be said, the city looks really cool, the photos do show that

Kinda opened me eyes too, especially as it was a lovely day. I've always underappreciated the place!

If you like cities like that one you should try to go to Vianden in Luxembourg once. It actually really reminded me of it.

Duly noted.
