Toblog

Coming back from lunch the building site down the road from my office is currently pumping out pungent dark grey fumes. The sun is out, and the sky is blue behind all that…

A few weeks ago I was atop the Tate Modern. There had been no wind for a couple of days by that point and these photos really show the pollution build up that occurs:

Ahem, please excuse the awful pun…

All taken on the k800i walking to work one morning.

The first one was taken on bank holiday Thursday and the other two last night; all on the k800 camera phone.

One day, I’ll take the 350D up there.

One of the advantages of regularly getting so early is I get to see dawn. The weather in London this last week has been stunning so daybreak has been particularly pleasant. Camera phones don’t do too well in low light conditions (and I’m slightly shaky at 0530!) so these photos look better in thumbnail but they still give a good idea of the views that have greeted me on leaving the flat.

It hadn’t settled (yet) in the City though…

Here are my first experiments with HDR photography. Ben and I went to Battersea Power Station for an art exhibition. We were far more interested in the building though…

If you go shopping in Canary Wharf you’ll find that the corridors are bedecked with Christmas Trees. Some of them have this rather lovely reminder of the fact that our every movement is being monitored. I don’t know about you, but this I find that this really encourages me to enter into the Christmas Spirit.
