March already???

Crikey! Where does the time go?

Anyway, you didn't come here to read my moans and groans, so let's get to the pictures and I've got a couple of great ones to show you today.


The first was taken during the fog here in London this month. I have had my eyes on the Thames Barrier for a long time but couldn't find the right shot for my library. When the weather turned on the fog switch I went to this grand London eye saw to see what I could get. The Barrier just disappeared into the mist and made the scene rather ghostly. The water lay still and the whole scene just begged a canvas in which it can be remembered. I set up my gear and banged off a bunch of frames. I came into some bother during my shoot as when I looked through the viewfinder I found my lens' needed a good clean as all the dirt, dust, unwanted kebabs, and a local Indian takeaway had nested on the glass. I really need to take a bit more care of my stuff...


The second shot I want to share with you is my latest attempt at 'painting with light'. I really like this picture as it says everything I wanted it to. Its dark with a nice calm feel about it. The area I shot from was absolutely pitch black which tended to make me remember all those unlucky folk that got murdered in these unlit places with no people about to hear... Strange eh?


I hope you like the photo's I've put up for your pleasure, I feel that February has been a good month for my portfolio. You can see all the work I release at Alamy Images
