This is the National Gallery taken from Trafalgar Square in London – taken last Thursday as I was staying in London for the eclipse (see previous post as to how that didn’t work out!) No tripod was used here, simply placed the camera on the wall surrounding the pool for the fountains – used a…
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 set of four photographs taken last weekend during a trip to Glastonbury Tor and St Michael’s Tower – a rather overcast day until we were leaving, lending itself nicely to the conversion to Black and White. We got lucky with the parking, finding a space quite close to the bottom of the Tor…
This photograph is of the last partial eclipse (2011) that was (just!) visible from the UK – this was taken from Farringdon Folly, West Oxfordshire (after I had spent a few minutes driving around trying to find somewhere suitable to get a decent chance of getting a clear shot) – fortunately, the clouds did break…
This is a photograph of a Paxos sunrise back in 2012 – the view is looking east across the Ionian Sea towards mountains on mainland Greece from Villa Noema (booked through James Villas) on the Island of Paxos. Taken early in the morning (EXIF shows 04:00…but I think its was more like 06:00)…early for a…
This is a photograph taken at Canada Water – this view shows the striking Canada Water Library (inverted prism…well, sort of!)) along with the Shard in the background. The picture was taken on a lunchtime trip to Canada Water on my way back to the Jubilee line station (underneath and behind the library) having been…
Just a quick post today of a photograph I took of the sunshine in Hyde Park this morning – absolutely glorious weather! Technical details Fuji X-E1;18mm(XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 R LM OIS);f/9;1/450s;ISO200; Handheld
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…
Bermondsey…in reflection of the glass that protects passengers from the track – taken at Bermondsey Underground Station on the Jubilee Line, London. This photograph was taken while waiting for the a train to take me back to Canary Wharf after a walk from Canada Water up to the Thames path – I liked the reflections…
