Snowy Sheep

OK – so we’ve had no snow at all this year except for a few flakes that didn’t settle – I guess I am kind of disappointed, so I have pulled out a photograph I took around this time last year – I had taken the kids to school and stopped on the way back…

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…

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…

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,…

Shipton Down at twilight

This is a great example of what can be achieved if you wait a while – the 9th September was a bright evening – I was late getting home but picked up my camera and drove up to the crossroads at Shipton Down….the sun had just about set and I didn’t have my first choice…

St Pauls Cathedral across the Thames

 Yet another shot of the London skyline – this is much more “as-shot” than in the last photograph of St.Pauls. This was taken from the south side of the River Thames, just in front of the Globe Theatre – the camera was placed on the river wall as I had no tripod with me –…

Almost home…

A shot taken on 19th October 2013 in the Cotswolds between Shipton-under-Wychwood and Chipping Norton on the D’Arcy Dalton Way – just catching the last rays before the sun went behind the clouds and the hills in the distance – it had been raining earlier in the day, but cleared later in the afternoon giving…

St Pauls Cathedral at dusk

  Shot from the Millenium Bridge, I really like this shot – the camera was resting on the side of the bridge, with the strap folded under the lens to lift it a little (making the best of the situation – next time I must have my tripod with me) – 0.8s exposure (way too…
