Last Wednesay was the monthly meeting of members of the Hull pool on Flickr. Instead of just going for a beer we took a walk around the city centre with our cameras. By this time the light was failing so I took a quick detour down South Church Side to get my tripod from the car. Coming back I took this shot looking towards the mirrored building on the eastern side of Lowgate. It is infamous for the shot of Holy Trinity Church reflected in its windows which is a “must have” shot for every photographer in Hull. In fact you can see Holy Trinity’s reflection there to the left. The motley bunch stood at the bus stop are in fact a few fellow Hull flickrites plotting waiting for the stragglers to catch up before proceeding on the walk.
The sun was fairly low in the sky behind me, which really brought out that fantastic coppery colouring of the widows ahead.

Fantastic photo, you caught this one so well ( that’s me and Ian at the bus stop!)

Apparently there is more than one way to shoot this!

This is excellent. I used to work in Hull and these locations are familiar to me. The thing I like about this particularly is the fact that the clouds look like they continue from the sky onto the building (like it’s semi transparent). Great shot. Love it.

Thanks everyone. I think the road markings are a significant element in making this image what it is – I feel a fad coming on.
