Swim at your own risk
Regular readers will recognise this place straight away… go on take a guess.
SPOILER ALERT: Its Key West. I miss the amazingly clear blue water and the relaxed “like totally dude” lifestyle.
This week has gone so quickly. I guess thats good as it means one week closer to payday. Enjoy the weekend!
The King’s Doorway
I tried to find a unique photo opportunity at King’s Cross station. It is such a popular place that I nearly had no chance. I still do not know if this shot is unique. to be honest I haven’t really looked but I like to think it is. If you have seen one similar let me know so I can cry deep down inside.
Thats it for today I’m afraid. I can’t stay and chat so back to work we all go.
Pathway to the inside of the Cardinal
I was waiting until it had been a while since I posted one of Cardinal Point to post this. I was sitting on it for a while as I really like it. A glass building always makes for decent reflections in photos and this one didn’t disappoint. Not much else to say on this one. I’ll just leave it for you to enjoy or make up your own mind.
Sun set in the Millennium
I have crossed the Millennium bridge countless of times but I still like the view of london you get from it. Ok well I guess the horizon in this image isn’t straight but when processing it I liked the angle of the Millennium bridge this way. It looked strange when the horizon was straight so wonky it was.
Enjoy your tuesday.
The Golden World
Merry Sunny Monday. Well it started off sunny and like a fool I decided to come to work without a jacket. Off the train I get and become soggy on my way to work. Hello English Summer.
I have to apologise for friday. It seems like my post didn’t automatically post. Thank you WordPress. I didn’t realise this until late friday night as I was busy all day. I shall post that one this friday.
These eggs from London have now all disappeared and have been shipped to their respective owners. I will miss them around the place but I guess it won’t be long until something else comes along and grabs our attention.
The Circle on the Ceiling
If you remember a similar photo, well then I’m impressed. This was taken at the same place as this one in Parc Guell, Barcelona. If you are a regular reader you would of heard me fantasise about his place and heard me say that I pretty much want its babies.
It’s the Hall of 100 columns that, ironically, only has 86. The mosaic on the ceiling is great and you could hide and play around it for hours.
A Fallen Canary Tree
As you might of guessed this isn’t actually a fallen tree. I think its meant to be a bench around Canary Wharf, but I wouldn’t like to sit on it. Its hard to keep track on what I’ve posted, even if I have a lightroom collection sometimes I forget to add some photos to them. I am not sure whether I have posted this one before. Something inside me says I have but all evidence points to no.
Can you spot the other photographer in the picture? If you look close enough you can see Mike with his tripod setting up for a shot. I’ll leave you to play Wheres Wally.
The Beach of London
I used to think that it was illegal to venture down on the Thames bank. Thats probably only a half hearted attempt from someone to keep us safe but since getting into photography I have found many of the gates to be open. This stretch is just underneath the Oxo Tower on the Southbank. I have been on this “beach” the most as its a typical photographers route through London.
I will post another favourite from this location later in the week so for now back to my four day work week.
Down on the Corner
If you read this early enough (at about 9:00 GMT) I will still be in bed as its a bank holiday Monday. Its been a mad weekend so sleep is very welcome although unfortunately this didn’t involve any picture taking, just lots of driving through mad London traffic and getting lost. Life isn’t complete until you have done that.
Although I didn’t drive past Marble arch, I have taken many pictures of it but none of them have come out well enough for me to think about processing them. Until I went back there a few months ago that is. Marble arch is situated on the west of Oxford street and is that start of a shopping trip for many people. This time though I only saw a few drunken tourists on Boris Bikes (hire bikes everywhere around London)
Black and White Overhead
As usual happy Friday everyone. Today is the last in my special series of shots from King’s Cross station, although I have many more shots that I love of this place that you will more then likely see at some point.
I rarely edit to black and white. I think its because I love the colours that the HDR technique brings out. As I had so many of this structure I thought I would process this one differently.
I upped the contrast on this one big time as it always makes B & W images just pop a bit more. I like this processing so will probably start processing some more this way.
For everyone in England, enjoy the bank holiday weekend. For everyone else…well enjoy your 2 days off.
