the doorways are very interesting and colourful
I spent a lot of time photographing them and was
going to compile a collage of images to symbolise
the feel of the artistic town centre

The old town centre is made up of a mixture
of old buildings and modern symbolism
and graffiti

the old stonework and doors
make an interesting image as they
are tonally linked by colour and have
great textural qualities

Comments/learning

I think these images reflect my style of photography
that I have developed on this course but I am disappointed
at my selection of aperture and exposure settings.
The light was limited and I chose not to increase my
iso levels but have a larger aperture setting,

I think I have compromised sharpness over 
noise levels. Where I had light I should have
chosen a higher aperture number
