This is a collection of photos taken on a walkabout near where I live and in central London.

My question for anyone looking is to ask whether they know what is causing the central “flare” in the images. I am guessing that it is the coating on the Sigma 30mm ...

A couple of natural light portraits from our day out in Whistable. Hope you enjoy.

On the beach. A little light Lightroom work here but nothing major. The sky was very blue. Ash from the icelandic volcano?

Here the sons and girlfriends and cousins take refuge from the Ash.

Stripey door. Enlarged this takes on a very strange texture.

This was amazing. The blend of ...

A selection of skylines of varying descriptions.

My mum is a keen archer (she’s the one on the left, shooting, below) and I took these in the Autumn last year. I managed to get several of the moment the arrow was “loose” as you can see. The archers were very pleased with the pictures I got ...

I was at the in-laws for dinner this evening and I had my infrared camera with me so I thought I’d take a few pictures - just about “first light” for the camera. Many of them were interesting and possible worthy of a blog post in their own right but ...

More from the archive. A BBQ at friends, a glass or two of vin and a camera. There was this odd art work in the corner of the garden. These are two close up’s from the piece. I really want to go back and get some more - the blend ...

Another from the archive. This was taken early one morning as the train was being prepared for departure. I couldn’t resist the Big Red Lever against the background of handmade brass dials, knobs, switched and other plumbing.

Oh. Didn’t I say. The Big Red Lever is about two ...

This is a picture of a good friend of mine. It’s called “In Your Face” for two reasons. One is because I got up really close with the 17-end of my lens. The other is that it gives you a good idea of what he’s like… I’ve ...

Another one from the archive here. I was lucky enough to win a place on the company’s annual “Platinum Club” excursion for the top performing people each year. Last year it was to Mauritius. This picture sums up the place rather well I think.

In these two I have ...

I work in Paddington but a week or so back I had to go back to my old stamping ground of the City of London. On my way home I had to go over London Bridge and having my “other” camera with me I stopped to take a couple of ...

I got back from a week in Dubai and I took this in segments using the 50D / EFS15-55 2.8. It’s the Burj Dubai, now renamed the Burj Khalifa after the Sheik of Abu Dhabi who provided financial assistance to Dubai. The renaming was part of the price ...

Oh, I almost forgot. This one is my favourite.

Danson Mansion across the lake, windows glinting in the snowy weak evening sunlight

I’m still catching up with some of my older photos. These were part of a much larger sequence created at my local boating lake which once every 20 years or so freezes over. I knew it was frozen but was waiting for the right time of day and clear ...
