Buildings by Jay Mason-Burns

BIRMINGHAM-based Jay Mason-Burns is a big fan of street
photography, but enjoys urban landscapes and architecture,
too. ‘The McLaren building [seen here] sits on the northern
edge of the city centre and, to my mind, is not the sexiest
piece of architecture,’ he admits. ‘I had been taking pictures
elsewhere when
I walked by and
noticed the
reflection of
the building in
a puddle in the
car park. I love
reflection shots:
they add layers of
complexity to an
image. It had just
stopped raining,
the light was
amazing, and
suddenly the
McLaren looked
very sexy indeed,’
he explains. Jay
uploaded the
picture to our
Twitter feed using
the hashtag
#appicoftheweek.

CHRISTOPHER Mann is a delivery driver who frequently
travels the UK, and likes to take his camera with him
wherever he goes. ‘I am constantly finding new and
interesting places to photograph on my routes,’ he explains.
‘This image was shot in the Peak District at Ladybower
Reservoir.’ Christopher uploaded the picture to our Instagram
page using the hashtag #appicoftheweek. ‘I’ve visited this
location many times, hoping to see the water cascading down
the hole, but this was the first time I’d actually seen it in full
flow. The sight and sound was truly amazing.’
