Two swans on the River Thames on a very cold morning near Reading a couple of weeks back. Some mist on the river, superb colour in the sky – a glorious river view! Technical details: Fuji X-E1;26mm(XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 R LM OIS);f/3.2;1/25s;ISO200; Handheld; Edited in Lightroom 6 DSCF47781611303937
Reflections in the River Thames at Reading – looking west, near to Caversham lock (behind me), with Reading bridge just visible in the distance. The photograph was taken on Friday during a lunchtime walk alongside the Thames – I had just walked across the weir and Caversham lock (picture to follow) and saw this house…
The Thames at Sunrise – and the coldest so far this year! It was -7ºC this morning when I was driving to the station – I doubt it had changed much from that by the time I got here by the side of the River Thames near Reading, Berkshire. Another superb sunrise and a little…
Another shot taken last Thursday evening on the way back to my hotel – St Paul’s Cathedral and the Millenium Bridge taken from the South side of the River Thames. A long exposure (15s) so the people on the bridge have disappeared (not that there were many when this was taken, and the river is…
So…this is the thwarted Eclipse…so much thick cloud cover, we could barely see the planes on final approach into London City Airport from our vantage point – this is the view from the entrance to East India Dock on the River Thames. This is the vision of what I wanted to take (as well as…
This is a picture of The Orca – she is moored on the banks of the River Thames near St.John’s Lock, between Buscot and Lechlade in the Gloucestershire countryside – I think this just counts as the Cotwolds (especially as she is moored on the north bank of the river!) I took this photograph on Saturday…
The Thames Barrier – revisited! This time from the south side of the River Thames and with a Thames Clipper travelling from Woolwich towards the O2/Millennium Dome, and the City of London – I like the contrast between the static barrier and buildings with the movement of the boat. I had stayed the previous night…
This is a photograph of some boats on the River Thames with the Thames Barrier in the distance, taken on a lunchtime walk from North Greenwich – it was high tide (or close to it), lifting the boats nicely – so much more attractive than having them stuck in the mud! The tidal range in…
Another photograph taken just as the sun was rising and just clearing the horizon at the Thames Barrier – glorious colours from the sun and in the sky in contrast with the blackness and hard edges of the Barrier! Taken from the west side of the barrier, on the north side of the river from…
I stayed in London at the TravelLodge at City Airport on Tuesday night for an office Christmas party. I got up before sunrise the next day (though still got a lie-in compared to the normal time I need to get up to catch the train!) and headed down to the Thames Barrier – this is the…
