The Gherkin, London, November 2019
Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally – tweet, instagram, flickr, etc. with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS.

Hola, I’m joining in on 6WS for the first time : ) My photos cannot hold a candle to present company, but I hope the passion of the flamenco comes through. Gracias! -Rebecca https://fakeflamenco.com/2019/11/16/ole-baila-baila-ole-dance-dance/

This is a stunning shot, Debbie, however you achieved it – hyper-real juxtaposition with the non-gherkin below.

I tried to do fewer words. Ah well.

That older building is really there – one of the joys of the city of London. Anything from Roman ruins to skyscrapers.
And I loved your images, Tish – they captured me and I didn’t count the words 😉

Re word count, you are such a kind host, Debbie. Also nice to be reminded about London’s multiple time layers. It’s ages since we were there.

I’ve never heard of a that lens, Debbie, and was just hoping the Gherkin wasn’t tilting and shifting! You have the Gherkin, Chicago has the Bean. I like the shadows you caught on yours. I’m moving at a much slower pace for my six words, but after all, it’s the weekend, right?

You can literally tilt and shift bits of the lens. It allows you to take photos of tall buildings without all the lines converging – a bit like standing on the ground floor and letting the lens run up a few flights of stairs!!

Thanks Jo – I think my fingers and head will be worn out after twiddling all the knobs on the lens, but should be fun as long as the rain holds off.

I rented a tilt shift lens for the weekend. Studied the instructions and a bit of tilting at 24mm and it fit in. Haven’t even tried the shifting yet!
