St Pauls and the cranes

Took this recently while wandering through London. I'm very pleased with how it's come out here. I like the stark forms of the cranes agains the sky.

Perhaps it's a bit underexposed.

Took this piccie the other day and I thought I'd blog it, as I'm very pleased with it. It was one of those moments that was worth capturing. I'm very pleased with the little bit of D&B I've done to it, just enhancing the lighting a little.

Lighting is key.

A very blue palette

Just been playing around with my newest camera, the diminutive Sony NEX-5. I don't think a camera has impressed me more than this one - though I did have fairly low expectations.

Might have to do a review.


Anyways, the pic is of pallets. I think these particular ones are what the sand arrives on in Milton Keynes shopping centre (explanation: we have an indoor 'beach', for kids during the summer).

Took this out on a cycle ride recently - a lovely and interesting sky. Taken with my canon S90 compact digital camera.

I love my Canon S90 compact camera. I don't care how good the Nikon D700 was in low light, or how many megapixies the 5Dmk2 has, because the little and unassuming S90 is by far and away the best digital camera ever produced. This is for the same reason that the Rollei 35 is my favourite 35mm film camera.

I've noticed some of my recent flickr uploads have been a bit pants. I don't know why, but I think some of my creative spirit has been sapped in recent months. I'm looking to re-engage it and I felt that the Weston Super Mare shoot was pretty acceptable.

This is hyde park. I absolutely love catching sunsets and silhouettes.

Going a bit back in time, to our easter-ish trip to Barcelona... I took the opportunity to try to capture the amazing shapes and colours of some of Barcelona's great architecture.

Even the not-so-great is still very interesting!
