Petrol Station
by Ryan Bowen
Nikon D7200, 18-55mm lens, 1/8sec at f/5.6, ISO 640
Ryan is a young photographer from Tyldesley, near
Manchester, who enjoys photographing anything to do with
aviation, and night landscapes like this one. ‘I took this in
mid-January while out with my camera trying to shoot some
long exposures of cars on the local A580. But I spotted this
newly opened petrol station lit up in blue, in Astley and
thought it would make a good picture.’ He was right. It’s a
fairly mundane subject that most people would pass by
without a second glance but Ryan has made an appealing
photograph of it. Instagram @ryanbowen98.
Bridge Fog by Jamie Bassett
Panasonic Lumix GF1, 20mm F1.7, ISO 100
Bristol-based Jamie was introduced to photography at a
young age by his godfather, leading landscape pro Clive
Minnit, but with other demands on his time it always took
a back seat till recently. ‘I only really started giving it the
time and love it deserves since the pandemic,’ he
confesses. ‘It’s one of the only good things that has
come out of this whole thing for me. This was taken in
January on a very foggy day in Bristol. The bridge was
barely visible from Clifton Observatory so I headed down
to bridge level for a closer look! I liked how the lamp post
provided a strong focus point, creating a contrast to the
bridge.’ Instagram @jbassphotography.
