Another shot taken last Thursday evening on the way back to my hotel – St Paul’s Cathedral and the Millenium Bridge taken from the South side of the River Thames. A long exposure (15s) so the people on the bridge have disappeared (not that there were many when this was taken, and the river is…
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 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…
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…
This is a photograph of some boats on the River Thames with the Thames Barrier in the distance, taken on a lunchtime walk from North Greenwich – it was high tide (or close to it), lifting the boats nicely – so much more attractive than having them stuck in the mud! The tidal range in…
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…
