Three Ways
Been going through a bit of a creative wilderness the last few weeks or what writers call “writers block”…….hence the lack of updates. It’s been so bad I have been out in London for hours with the camera and come back with NOTHING….. not one picture…ZERO. Before I took this picture I looked at a…

Harrods in Knightsbridge, Central London in twilight taken with a slow shutter speed for a painterly effect.

Three Cyclists
Taken on a wet windy, rainy, gloomy day if you can believe it. The red and orange colours of the buildings were reflecting on the wet road, three cyclist in a row turned up, some rule of thirds, rule of odds and a dash of slow shutter speed and a bit of ICM (Intentional Camera…

Green on Blue
A wet, gloomy and miserable day in Central London and nothing very much inspiring in photographic terms UNTIL I went through the subways at the BFI Imax and saw this blue subway with green lights. A couple of people came through but didn’t really make the frame UNTIL a woman came through with a GREEN…

Top Cuvee

I saw this when I was in North London a couple of weeks ago (see Islington photo) in the Islington/Highbury/Finsbury Park sort of area. It looks like…

BEHIND THE PHOTO: I was walking down Knightsbridge with camera in hand when I saw this psycherdelic shop window display in Harrods with these reflective odd shaped metal bauble things. Looking closer (they weren’t that big) I could see a reflection of Knightsbridge in one of them slightly distorted. So I exposed for the bauble…

Whitewash

Self Portrait
Taken on a canal bridge in Docklands in East London, over the Regents Canal. Looked around at what could be a possible picture but nobody was around. Waited a few more minutes. Still nothing. Looked down into the pea soup saw MY silhouette and thought “there you go” and the rest is history. A lovely…

Rotherhithe Tunnel
I don’t know why, I just love tunnels? Needed a break from pounding the streets of the West End and City so a moment of madness and a painterly? photo of the Rotherhithe Tunnel that goes under the Thames in East London. Didn’t think you could walk through it, but you can (paths just visible…
