19-12-2010 Snowy Branches

December 21st, 2010

Walking back across the common, I thought I’d stop and photograph the snowy trees. This one was taken by putting the camera, back-down on a parking machine.

15-11-2010 Only Sky

November 15th, 2010

Having already been blown away by sunrise this morning, I went out to check out the sunset too. A spectacle of slowly fading colours and gradients. No need for any earthly content in this image.

22-10-2010 Common Tree

October 23rd, 2010

I almost fell asleep whilst lying down, drunkenly photographing this tree on the Common last night after having some delicious American ales at the Draught House in Clapham.

15-10-2010 Floodlight

October 19th, 2010

Getting provisions for the weekend at the supermarket and looking up.

06-10-2010 Waterloo Sunset

October 7th, 2010

Sunset yesterday on The Cut at Waterloo after a pint of delicious Betty Stoggs in the Windmill.

27-09-2010 Ship in a Bottle

September 29th, 2010

The current exhibit on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square. It was a strange day in London, Low gray sky and lots of moody people. I swear atmospheric pressure makes people crazy.

19-09-2010 Butter Rock

September 21st, 2010

This is Butter Rock, it’s found down the far west end of Durdle Cove in Dorset. It’s a natural chalk stack, like a mini version of Old Harry and his chalky friends.

05-09-2010 Old Snooker Hall

September 6th, 2010

Right by my house there is a closed down Snooker Hall. The building it used to be in is dilapidated but grand. I don’t know what the building was originally and I can’t seem to find out online. Answers on postcards….

A photograph of London’s oldest structure. (almost 3500 years old) First erected in 1450 BC Heliopolis, Egypt. It was given as a gift to the UK to celebrate Lord Nelson’s battle victories on the Nile. Not sure what New York did to deserve the twin obelisk though. The scaffold has just come down off the [...]

18-08-2010 Tomato Plant

August 18th, 2010

My chief tomato plant shot from the ground up. I used my flash bounced off the wall to light the plant, and balanced it to correctly expose the dusk sky.

16-07-2010 Aeroplane

July 20th, 2010

It’s always tempting to photograph the planes that fly overhead every minute in London. I didn’t see any reason not to include on of these shots in this blog. I liked the gentle graduate of the sky in this.

27-06-2010 Lurcher

June 30th, 2010

This is Eddie the Lurcher on Saunton Beach. He is originally from Battersea dogs home and is amazingly well behaved. He got his collar whilst on an adventure in the Far East.

The first night camping in Morthoe in Devon this weekend. An amazing deep red sunset was followed by a nice setting Venus. I didn’t have a telescope or a long lens, so I blurred it out in the background and focused on this camping lamp. Devon!

This was shot outside of my flat against a cloudy sky. That 50mm f1.4 lens really makes things look almost pinhole. Crazy DOF, haven’t used Canon’s 50mm f1.1 Lens, I wonder what that is like. 1mm plane of focus probably. Sorry, these are ramblings of a madman. I’ve been on the computer too long today. [...]

A Grainy Black and White image of the rocks leading on to Perranporth Beach in Cornwall. Great weekend. Apart from not being able to get my surfboard out the board bag because the zipper was jammed with salt crust and wax. (and hour and a half later it was free after going at it with [...]
