Photo24

London Scene: shortlisted

3 CHUNGHAU “I’d researched the many brutalist locations around London prior to Photo 24 – that provided travel destinations for the 24 hours. Harsh sunlight worked inmy favour here with a high-contrast image.” “Soho is the most colourful place in all of London, especially after dark. I knew it would be the best place to get some bold colours to use inmy shots.” Camera RicohGR II Lens Fixed 28mmf/2.8 Exposure 1/60sec at f/4 and ISO3200 5 NICK COOK “Movement. Vibrant colours. People. This was the London CameraApple iPhone X 4 JAMES ELDRIDGE

7 PETER KARRY “I visited the recently developed Kings Cross area for the first time. As I approached Granary Square this riot of colour interspersed with people made me think of notes on a musical sheet.” Camera Sony RX10 Lens Fixed 24-200mm Exposure 1/400sec at f/8 and ISO200 8 MICHAELA CAMPBELL “I embraced the opportunity to experiment with the FujifilmX-Pro 2. If I amhonest I came to London with a completely openmind and no real thoughts about what I wanted to capture. “I have a fascination with building up layers, so it felt apt to try multiple exposures. I found the technique interesting and there were many

I wanted to capture. Walking along Tower Bridge, all of these elements came together and by implementing a low angle and a longer exposure, the coloured blur of city life came alive.” Camera SonyA7 Lens 35mmf/2.8 Exposure 1/2sec at f/3.2 and ISO25 6 STEVENGOSLING “I’d walked past these old K6 phone boxes for weeks, then the street art suddenly appeared.

atmosphere of the fire spinners I realised that when you’re in amongst them you would never know it was London. So I changed position to get the fire spinners with London skyline as the backdrop.” Camera Canon EOS 6D Lens 16-35mmf/2.8 at 35mm Exposure 30secs at f/11 and ISO 100 11 MARTINAMERY “This photograph was taken on the Photo 24midnight city walk. As I walked past this underground tube entrance I thought it wouldmake a fantastic image with its iconic underground sign and steps curving down from the street.”
