For day 31 I decided to try a shot I decided to try and shoot a slow shutter speed shot of cars on the motorway bridge just next to the university campus. A particular problem I found in taking this picture was that my tripod wasn't high enough to position the camera over the motorway railings (damned health and safety).
To get round this I ended up balancing my camera on top of the surrounding wall and railings instead. I doing this I was able to steady the camera for using a slow shutter speed but unable to get a good angle of composition.
Walking past the site this morning, I think I found a few better spots to shoot from so I may try this one again in a wee while.

Day 29 - The Waterfront
We went out for dinner last night near the water front, after a few glasses of wine and a lovely meal we headed over to the river so I could take a few shots.
I'm really pleased with results as I had no tripod and the bridge was bendy so there was a great deal of motion caused by people walking past. What I'm happiest about though is the fact that it turned out at all considering the amount of wine I'd drunk.

Day 28 - Lion
Today I tried to take a shot at the Town Hall, most of the shots weren't that great but I liked this one of the Lion Statue. I tried to capture the evening sky and I'm reasonably pleased with the result.
Day 27 - The Grand
On Sunday night we went to see Ross Noble at The Grand. Great gig which amongst other things involved Elton John being shot out of a cannon, being off yer tits on Kinder Eggs and George Michael having sex with rubbish in hedges.
Unfortunately as you're not allowed to take pictures in the theatre you'll just have to settle for this.

Day 26 - Kirkstall Abbey
On Saturday afternoon we decided to pop down to Kirkstall Abbey and have a look at the Museum. I've been for a wander around the Abbey before but never had my camera with so we decided ,after looking round the Museum to pop across to the Abbey and take a few pictures.
I always find it quite difficult to take pictures in Abbeys and it was no different on this occasion. I really need to look at some other shots of Abbeys and study their composition. I reasonably pleased with the end result but recognize where the shot could be improved.
I think ill be going back to do a shoot there again at some point, hopefully with a few fresh ideas about composition.

Day 25 - Boring shot
Today's shot is pretty awful, to be honest I'm not to pleased about having to post it but as I have nothing else for Day25 I have little other option. My aim was to try and shoot a decent shot of the Water Fountain near Millennium Square using a slow shutter speed. I didn't really get the desired effect and basically ran out of time.
Hopefully next Friday's shot will be a bit better.
