I wish we did have sun like this at the moment, but alas not. I’ve had to raid the archives as I’ve not had any time to get out with the camera this week. I took this quite a while … Continue reading

When will I learn to check the ISO setting from the previous day. Although in this instance I quite like the result. This was taken in Crystal Palace Park, there’s an Ice Rink and a few fairground rides setup at … Continue reading

Another from Colchester Zoo. As I said in yesterday’s post, I thought the animals had a decent amount of space to roam and here it is. It got very dark after I this shot was taken and it took us … Continue reading

Another shot from my trip to the Isle of Wight this weekend. This was taken on West Cowes esplanade, looking out towards Portsmouth, you can just about see the Spinnaker Tower in the distance. Update: Amy has pointed out that … Continue reading

I spent this weekend in the Isle of Wight and got quite a few shots that I’m happy with. This was taken on a walk from West Cowes to

I tried to think of something else to take a photograph of using the technique I used on the previous shot, but couldn’t. So here’s one taken at the weekend. Just after I took this a plane few diagonally right … 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

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

Now this defines “archive” and “weirdness”. If you usually read my comments, you will know that I’ve had no chance to get out with the camera recently so have been going through the archives. I’ve been wanting to post this … Continue reading

I was driving back from Southampton on Sunday, along the A31 which is a great road by the way, and not long before getting to Guildford I glanced across to my left and saw this. I thought the view was … Continue reading

This was taken from Calshot Spit in Southampton at the weekend. I took quite a few shots that I like, but some of them are of similar ilk to what I have posted in the past – so I’ll leave … 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

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

Nothing worthwhile posting today so I thought I’d show you this. It was taken a while ago in Hyde Park on the night I took this picture. I’ve boosted the colours slightly using a Selective Color layer and adjusted the … Continue reading

I could have taken a photo of anything in this sky and it would have looked good, but these red cranes looked fantastic. There were three of them but I could only fit two in in the frame and I … Continue reading

I wasn’t able to post anything yesterday so I’m posting this second shot of the Keith Haring sculptures. I couldn’t decide whether I preferred this shot or the previous.

This is going to be the last (I think) of the Isle of Wight shots that I post. I did take quite a few of the boats as I was there during the start of Cowes Week, but they were … 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

Obviously this isn’t in London. I’ve been on the Isle of Wight for the last few days and it was taken at Shanklin. I sometimes wish that the sand on beaches were left completely unmarked, but people can’t seem to … Continue reading

This image has been used at Rising Slowly. Mink media’s UK weather blog run by Giles Turnbull. Apparently it’s a meteorological phenomenon known as Crepuscular Rays. Sounds like something one of Superman’s enemies would have.

I’ll admit, I should have been in Trafalgar Square yesterday when we found out we’d won the 2012 Olympics. I was at the Hampton Court Flower Show. Which was good, but probably not as good as being in central London … Continue reading
