The second shot from inside the Tate Modern. If you’ve not been to see this installation you really should go. It’s wonderfully simple, yet amazing and vast. You can just wander around these structures for ages. Taking care to avoid … Continue reading

This was taken in the turbine hall at the Tate Modern. It’s an installation called EMBANKMENT commissioned by Unilever and undertaken by Racheal Whiteread. This only a very small part of it, as you’ll see by tomorrow’s post.

Another early evening shot to finish off a kind of set, I think. It was very cold outside, the evening was drawing in, I walked past this building and it looked so cosy inside. After I’d taken this shot I … Continue reading

Ok, so this isn’t as impressive as yesterday’s shot, but I liked the green glow from the windows against the blue of the darkening sky. I was steadying myself against a lamp post again and getting bloody cold as well! … Continue reading

I had to take a detour last night to avoid Westlife, who were switching on the London lights. Oxford Street was shut and there was lots of people and lots of screaming. So I was quite pleased when I turned … Continue reading

This was taken the same day as yesterday’s shot, you can probably recognise the sky. The building is at 27-37 Wigmore Street and I know very little about it, other than it looked very gorgeous in the fading afternoon light. … Continue reading

I went out for a stroll yesterday, wandering through the streets with my camera and trying to stay away from the touristy bits of London, then completely unintentionally I ended up at the BT Tower. The sky was great and … Continue reading

Last week I decided to put the camera down for a while and I was hoping to get about at the weekend. That didn’t happen. So now I have nothing to post and I’m feeling a bit like I’ve hit … Continue reading

This was taken at Winchester Cathedral. There are quite a few stained glass windows in the Cathedral, but this one caught my eye the most, even more than the grand window, because of the light coming through and the deep … Continue reading

Well I’m back from my two weeks in Italy, which were great. But I totally missed the Europe Photobloggers Meetup, which is not so great. So this is my first post back in the real world and I think I’m … Continue reading

We visited Lucca again today and as I’ve said previously, it is a stunningly beautiful place. The Rough Guide to Tuscany describes it as graceful and I couldn’t agree more. This is a view from the top of the tower … Continue reading

Here’s one of the pictures that I took of Lucca’s Piazza Anfiteatro the other day. At first I thought it was a little so so, but it’s growing on me now. I might try and go back early one morning … Continue reading

Change of plan, if you hadn’t already guessed from the picture, we went to Pisa instead. This is the simplest shot I could take and the only one without people standing in the frame pretending to hold the thing upright. … Continue reading

“Hmmmmm, quite interesting.” That’s what the better half said when I asked her what she thought of this picture. I was having a bit of an inspirational lull today with lots of other things on my mind. I *so* want … Continue reading

Sometimes when I go out with the camera in my lunch break, half an hour will pass and I think I’m never going to get a worthwhile shot. Then opportunities like this just present themselves. London amazes me every day. … Continue reading

I wasn’t happy with yesterday’s image in the end. I should have just stuck with the straight shot of the skater. You live and learn. Anyway, I like this image because it was a moment I just about managed to … Continue reading

We had the most amazing sunset across London on Wednesday night, the sky looked like it was on fire. I may post a shot of it, but I wasn’t in the best spot and I’m very fussy with my sunset … Continue reading

Continuing the beach theme from yesterday, this shot was also taken at Shanklin in the Isle of Wight. There’s been a lift at the site since 1892 although I’m not sure when this one was built. It rises the 45 … Continue reading

I like this, it’s a bit, well, odd. I wish I had managed to get a shot straight on, but I glanced up and the person was walking away so I got one chance and this is the result. It’s … Continue reading

I spent my Friday evening in Piccadilly Circus just people watching and looking for non-obvious opportunities. Every time I framed a shot I’d end up with a photoblogger in my view. They were everywhere! I’m just assuming they were bloggers, … Continue reading

I spent the entire weekend painting my sash windows and although I had some good views from the window ledge I didn’t fancy trying to hold the camera as well as a paint brush. So here’s an image from one … Continue reading

This was taken some time ago and has sat in my possibles folder until now. I like the lines, light, reflections and colours. But most of all it means something to me because I love the space. It was taken … Continue reading

Today, although hot, was dismally overcast and I really struggled to get an interesting shot in the little time I had. So here are some of the hieroglyphics from one of the sphinxes in Crystal Palace Park. I was drawn … Continue reading

I’m loving these summer skies, it makes for dramatic photography. The South Bank Lion is situated outside County Hall, next to Westminster Bridge. It’s 13 feet long, 12 feet high and weighing 13 tons. The paw bears the date 24/5/1837 … Continue reading
