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 –…

In memory of the fallen…

Remembrance Day , 11/11/2013 This photograph was taken just after the unveiling of the Memorial to Bomber Command during June 2012 – this was just one of many moving tributes to airmen that had lost their lives during World War II.

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…

The Shard at night

  I’m very pleased with this shot – I had taken some shots from the Millenium Bridge a week ago – long exposure, with the camera on the side of the bridge, but many of the results had camera shake (the bridge vibrates with all the pedestrians!) – this photograph was taken from below North…

Paddington Station – Platform 1

This shot is something a  bit more dynamic – I have been reading some of the ebooks from Craft and Vision and these inspired me to do something new – I’ll write more about the books later, but they are well worth a look – taken from the footbridge at the end of Platform 1…

PWC building

  This is the PWC building, More London Place, London – or, at least, part of it! It’s quite a striking building that hadn’t noticed previously, though it has been a while since I have been in the area – love the blue tint to the layered windows and reflections – I’ll have to go back…

The Shard

I had some time between finishing work and meeting up with a good friend of mine a few weeks ago – the weather was good, so I went into the City with a view to getting some photographs of the Shard now that it is finished (well, on the outside at least). I took this…

Citibank

  This is Citibank tower, from the misty morning shoot again – another architectural shot – I just love the way the lines go on and on – normally you tend to get interesting reflections in the windows, be it other buildings or sky…but not on a misty day, making it quite stark – also…

Overground

Another photograph from the misty morning – in fact, the 45 minutes before I got into the office were extremely productive…photographically speaking! This is the Citibank building at Canary Wharf, again disappearing into the misty sky, very close to the smaller entrance to the Jubilee Line Underground station.  I would love to get up near…

Welcome!

Welcome, and thanks for dropping by – I appreciate your visit. OK – so here we are!  Finally I am writing my first post on this site. So, lets start with the first photograph – this is a picture I took of 1 Canada Square (1CS), Canary Wharf in London. It was a misty morning…
