Restricted Byway

Another shot taken near to Lechlade on 9th February.  Back when we lived in Lechlade (we rented a house here for a year), I sometimes ran along this ‘restricted byway’ (not quite sure in what way it is restricted, though as you can see, it is somewhat more restricted at present!) – these fields are…

Flooded Thames Path

This is the Thames Path at Lechlade-on-Thames on Sunday 9th February 2014 …at least it is supposed to be – not much of the path can be seen.  Taken from the bridge looking downstream  – the extent of the flooding was stunning – fields all around were covered in water – I have never seen…

Canary Wharf

This is Canary Wharf…or rather part of it – taken from Wood Wharf on a bright, but rather cold morning – 19th December 2013. This is a five shot panorama – the resulting image once stitched together in Photoshop CS5 was almost 12,000 pixels across – this gives a much better level of detail than…

Misty Docks

Taken recently down at Canary Wharf on a foggy morning from the easterly side of South Dock – the main part of Canary Wharf is hidden in the fog beyond the boats on the right had side of the photograph about 400m away – but looking at the photograph, you’d be forgiven for thinking it…

Metal and Wood

Hmmm…not doing so well with the New Years Resolution (which was to post photographs to this website more regularly)…so, without further ado, here is one of my latest! Taken a few days ago, it is part of a short study of a strange looking piece of artwork that has been installed at Canary Wharf –…

Abstract Sky

This photography was taken a couple of weeks ago – my daughter and I had gone for a short walk to see how bad the flooding was at that time (it has subsided quite a lot…due to lots more rain, the water levels have risen and receded again since) – we were just heading back…

Old Dock Cranes

These are some of the dock cranes (tripods) that remain as a monument in the Docklands area in London – there are eight that I know of: three at South Dock; three at the north end of Millwall Outer Dock and two at the west end of Millwall Outer Dock.  This photograph was taken of…

Happy New Year!

A fireworks picture taken a couple of years ago in the Netherlands (and boy do they know how to put on a firework extravaganza!  No organised displays, but families and individuals letting off fireworks – typically goes on for an hour!) A happy and prosperous New Year to everyone! Technical Details: Nikon D80; 1/3s;f/1.8@50mm (50mm;f/1.8;Nikkor…

Merry Christmas!

This is a shot I took recently in the shopping Centre at Canary Wharf to capture the feeling of Christmas…I was hoping for some shots with reflections in the baubles, but those didn’t work out to my liking this time round.  Anyway, this one is great – I like the bokeh (out of focus lights)…

Red Chevrolet Pickup

  This is a shot taken over the summer – the pickup truck had been placed in the plaza outside the office to promote some street kitchens that were to be set up on key dates over the summer (I have no idea why they weren’t a permanent fixture…or stuck around for a full week,…
