Sloane Square - Homage to Tony Day - a photo on Flickriver

April 26th, 2008 - London, England

This was intended as a homage to the wonderful pictures taken in the London underground by Tony Day - a.k.a. silvertony45 - who was one of my very first contacts on Flickr. An excellent example is this picture. Somehow, though, it never felt quite right. It doesn't have the extraordinary luminosity of Tony's tube pictures - though admittedly, his were taken in actual underground stations, whereas Sloane Square is overground, so I suppose that's not entirely surprising. But nor does it have the crispness one might expect from a shot taken in natural daylight. Which is why it's sat in my maybe-list for over a year. I like to think the Leica D-Lux 4 I have now would make a better fist of it.

It looks best on black, I think.
