In the last blog post, I gave a preview of Circus Hub, the very colourful Edinburgh Festival attraction. Circus Hub is surrounded by a very colourful wall, and the same colour scheme is found inside.<\/p>\n

\"Colours
I had my composition, using the lines, shapes and colours of the walls, and I just needed to wait for someone to take a peak. People also give photographs a sense of scale.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I can\u2019t remember exactly how much time I spent, but I\u2019d say it easily took me a couple of hours to explore the various photographic opportunities at Circus Hub.<\/p>\n

\"Colours
The same colours could be found inside Circus Hub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Colours
Some of the details, like this fence, also provided interesting compositions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Colours
I used the wall to provide a colourful background for the lights. It was a bit too early for the lit bulbs to clearly show. I wonder what the pic would look like taken a few hours later, during the blue hour, but I didn’t get the chance to go back.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you are faced with a subject so rich in photographic opportunities, you may want to revisit some of the places you’ve been to. It’s very easy to miss a good shot, and the more you work your subject, the better you see.<\/p>\n

\"Colours
I’m always intrigued by the contrast of man-made objects and natural ones. In this case, the variety of bight coloured regular shapes versus the more muted colours and irregular patterns of the tree.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Colours
This bench with the sweater makes me wonder who was there and what happened. If benches could talk, we surely would hear some interesting stories.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Colours
Another composition with the fence from the photo above, this time from a higher point of view. I was drawn to this composition by the light on the wall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, don’t forget to get in closer and look at some of the details of the scene in from of you. You may be very surprised (and delighted) by what you get.<\/p>\n

\"Colours
Blue and yellow are two colours that came make your images ‘pop’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Colours
Moving to a slightly different spot, I managed to get only the blue and yellow colours in my composition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Colours
Purple and blue are also two contrasting colours that can make your pictures ‘pop’. But I needed another element in the frame to make the composition more interesting. Fortunately someone happened to stop by and engage in a conversation with someone else. His feet provided the missing element in the picture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
