A photograph of some silhouetted frosted cow parsley taken near the River Evenlode near Shipton-under-Wychwood in the Cotswolds, UK – this was a short walk from home on a bright, but chilly, morning after a very cold night (well, cold for us – around -5ºC) between Christmas and New Year 2014. Taken ‘contre-jour’, I wasn’t sure quite…
This photograph of frosted teasles was taken on a walk near home on a very cold morning between Christmas and New Year 2014 – while it was cold (well below 0ºC) the sun was out and made it feel warmer – the frost was, by this time starting to melt fast in the sun –…
…of 2014! And so we come to the last post of 2014 – this photograph was taken this morning at sunrise on Shipton Down – another cold night, though had warmed up slightly to only -1ºC by this stage, though the wind was biting! A very light dusting of snow and a frost made the…
A quick post to to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The photograph was taken in the foyer of the office at Canary Wharf – if you look closely, I am in (just!) the reflection of the main bauble – nice bokeh (though not quite as good as my shot…
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…
