Water Gardens, Harlow


Rather liked the way this pic I snapped of Harlow Water Gardens yesterday turned out. The big and over-bright setting sun really brings out the starkness of the “spirit of optimism” 60s buildings to the right. Wish I’d got it when things were a bit more orange later, but that’s mobile cams for ya.

It was nowhere near as dark as it looks here, but I tried to force my camera’s processing thingy to behave rather like how the old fashioned recording level control in cheap radio-cassette players worked. That halo effect around the sun I only noticed on the big monitor. Absolutely no idea what that’s all about, Alfie – some kind of lens distortion maybe?
