I noticed the skylight windows in the morning, and the serving tray in the evening of the same day. Next morning I went to Chantry Place Shopping Centre, near Chapelfield. I took some photos of the sunlight streaming through the windows, casting blocks of light on the walls and creating criss cross shadows- fantastic! I was approached by a security man who said I can’t take photos without permission. He radioed the office and asked what to do. I showed him my photos and the office said “ let it pass”. I then set up the tray at home ( the way it was previously, after I had finished my dinner watching T.V.) and photographed the composition. I tried a few of the skylight shots I had, and eventually settled for the one you see. I put the two elements together. In reality, the top photo is on its side, turned anti-clockwise. I liked the conflicting angles and curves and opposed colours in the picture. I applied a Paint Daubs and Accented Edges filters which dramatise the image.
