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…
Another discovery during my early morning walk after viewing the Thames barrier, was this – I was waiting to cross the road (very slow pedestrian lights and lots of traffic!), noticed the gates and went to take a look – as you can see from the photograph I took, it is somewhat derelict – searching…
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…
Taken one evening, a couple of weeks ago – a crisp, clear night. The waxing gibbous moon looking majestic in the sky! For me, it is all about the light (as a photographer, it always is!) – while I love a full moon, looking at this one you see lots of intricate and interesting details due to…
“Mr and Mrs Brown first met Paddington on a railway platform. In fact, that was how he came to have such an unusual name for a bear, for Paddington was the name of the station.” – quote from “Please Look After This Bear” in “A Bear Called Paddington” This photograph was taken a week or…
A photograph taken in Hyde Park yesterday after a particularly cold start (-3°C at home), though here in London it was probably only around freezing. Still, it made for some frozen grass and a nice mist – and it looked great with the low sun through the trees. Edited in Lightroom 5.6 – adjusted white…
A photograph taking during a lunchtime walk last week – taken from what remains of the East India Dock on the north side of the River Thames in London, looking south towards the O2 Arena on Greenwich Peninsula – I had intended for it to be a long exposure shot – the wind was…
A solitary red leaf in a puddle of dark leaves – pretty much as I found it, I removed one yellow leaf to eliminate it as a distraction. I had been walking in a park near to Carterton Leisure Centre while my daughter was having a swimming lesson on Saturday, many of the trees were turning,…
Now for something a bit different! This is a photograph of the night sky with the tail end of the transit of the International Space Station – this was taken at 19:20 BST, around 45 minutes after sunset – I only caught the end of the transit (so will have to try again!) –…
This is a photograph that I took this lunchtime – it was taken from Wood Wharf, Isle of Dogs, London looking towards the offices in Canary Wharf. I have been wanting to take a shot like this for some time – obviously to be able to do this, you need water and over the last…
