In Lens-Artists Challenge #385, Ritva asks us to submit images with Unusual Crops. It’s a great creative exercise to deliberately do these odd shots. But I have to say that I’ve let that part of creativity slip recently. So for this week I’m falling back on an old post from 2020 which I don’t think many Lens-Artists have seen. I took the images on a trip early one Sunday morning back in 2014 . I do hope you appreciate these shots with most these shots cropped in-camera. It was an exercise for me on unusual cropping.

Evening on Clydeside
Photography on the waterfront in Glasgow
I was frustrated early on, as I could see nothing at all new through my lens. Then the reds and oranges bled out to the west, leaving that deep blue velvet stretched over our heads with bright stars skinkling through. The frustration drained away, and I felt warm, consoled, and somehow safe.
Soon, those dark strangers were potential friends, and silent shadows hid no threat. My mind freed up to see in different light, as new colours blossomed in the night and lights became the nibs of pens.

The seductive shapes of the modern buildings at the Clydeside waterfront. If there’s any light at all, there are many opportunities for dramatic architectural images. I’ve tried here to find some compositions that perhaps are a bit out of the ordinary.
The area is a focus for entertainment, conference and media headquarters, but currently it’ll be very quite inside the venues like the Hydro, SECC, the Armadillo, the Science Centre and the Imax. I’m not at all sure when I’ll see it all again. Missing Glasgow!
