A Grim Light.

Hello! How are you? Great! Well here is the latest addition to the blog! I hope you like it! It’s a sorta weird snap of Basildonย centerย which has a certain depressing beauty to it! I mean the elegance of the statue as well as how monotone the whole photo appears with a few sparks of colour dashed here and there within the trees and in shining lights! Of course in real life Basildon has no sparks of colour in it! ๐Ÿ˜›

Anyway I hope you like it! And remember to vote for what theme you want next week on the previous post! ๐Ÿ˜€

The Shining Lights Of London.

Hello! Sorry for not posting yesterday and the day before ๐Ÿ˜ฆ There were some complications with the London thing and I had to get home early and it was difficult, and confusing and tiring. But I’ve finally got a computer back and so I can post again and here is another photo of later on in the day in London ๐Ÿ™‚ I took this just after going to a very nice Chinese Restaurant called “Hong Kong Buffet” which had been visited by Gok Wan! (My sister went mad over that) But anyway this place is amazing for photos and cheap food!

Bright Lights!

Ahh! I’m back in London! This time I’m stuck further east, over in Whitechapel in a tiny hotel room ๐Ÿ˜€ what a perfect opportunity to take some snaptacular shots! ๐Ÿ™‚

I headed off to Leicester Square as soon as we put I bags down! There were some amazing views, especially as it got later! (not to mention the amazing food at china town!)

This photo is just one of the snaps I caught of the area as it neared a cold 5:00! The lights switched on and the city was still buzzing with life! Perfect!

Anyway it’s nearly midnight here (5 minutes!) and I have no way to access my good camera do you’ll just have to deal with this ๐Ÿ™‚ goodnight! I’ll be posting some better ones soon ๐Ÿ˜‰

Sitting on the grassy Hillside!

Today’s photo is of my friend (well sister’s friend) Sitting down at the country park not too far from my park! ๐Ÿ™‚

I’ve lived in the same place all my life and I only learnt about this place around a year ago! It’s around five times bigger than the other one (I have some photos of a lake, that’s the park) and It’s much more natural and you can actually see the difference throughout the year and it is massive! I am planning to start a photo-montage of the area where I take the same picture everyday for a year then merge it together till I have 365 days! ๐Ÿ˜€ This will start on January the 1st!

Oh by the way, next weeks photos are of objects! Thanks for voting ๐Ÿ™‚

Shard in the sky.

The final piece of the puzzle! This is the last photo under the London theme! Isn’t an amazing moment? Anyway this photo is a bit of an experiment as I tried using a new photo editing app, tell me what you think and remember to share this blog with your friends ๐Ÿ˜›

Old and New.

I don’t think my naming skills are that keen today, but I hope you like the picture! ;D This was taken as we were heading for the lost property of the DLR service in Poplar and I just thought what a stark contrast there was between the sky scraping buildings and the small, unkempt apartments less than a mile away. Of course I could go on about how it is not right that they leave the locals needs and wants out of the picture, but this is a photography blog, not a politics site! ๐Ÿ˜› so I hope you enjoy!

by the way, the poll for the theme next week closes at 1:00 today, so get voting! ;D

Platform woes…

Ahh! Decided I would be extra generous today and post another picture! ๐Ÿ˜€ this one looks a bit ominous but, still I thought had an interesting undertone so here you go ;D

Millennium walk by the sun!

Ahhh the Millenium bridge! Always bustling with life and brimming with different cultures; To the north St. Paul’s Cathedral, an amazing piece of architecture and a beautiful building; to the south the Tate modern, a converted power plant that has some of the most famous pieces of modern art in the world held with in, not that modern art is particularly good ๐Ÿ˜› but that’s just my opinion.

This picture was a bit stop and go unfortunately which is why the HDR seems to have failed slightly! On another note, I’m going to London today, so tomorrow you should see some freshly taken snaps! ๐Ÿ˜‰

London’s Manhattan.

20121010-070315.jpg
Good morning! Today’s photo is a snap from canary wharf in Cabot square. The reason I called it ‘London’s Manhattan is because the whole area was made to look American and resemble the manhattan area of New york!

This photo is pretty strange, I took it and made it look like a sunny, bright day, but where I was it was pouring with rain! It just hadn’t spread to the canary wharf yet :O

It Was a Bright, Cold Day in April

Who likes the creepy reference? Well even if you don’t you can hopefully enjoy this photograph taken a while back. I don’t remember the exact time though, and, to be honest, I’m pretty sure this wasn’t taken in April :O

The main reason I chose this picture and not anything else is down to the small bush on the bottom right of the photo. Apart from it helping the composition, it is pretty peculiar to see any sorts of vegetation on the side of the Thames!

A black telephone box!

London! Wow! What a place! It has everything in it! from Sky-scraping Skyscrapers to cheap Chinese restaurants, London has everything! One of my favourite places is St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Millenium Bridge and the area around the Tate Museum. There are some stunning views and many vantage points to take interesting photos of the bus-tling city(see what I did there?)

Anyhow this picture was one of the luckiest snaps I ever took! I wasn’t looking, I pointed it at moving traffic, and HDR had been left on. It should have been a blur, but somehow I took this ๐Ÿ™‚ probably the most surreal, photo I’ve taken, but it is definitely a cool one ๐Ÿ˜‰

Rivers, Boats etc…


Good morning blog followers! This snaptacular shot was taken whilst on a bridge in London, isn’t that cool? But seriously, if you are looking for a good subject for photography the best place to go is London. It always offers something new everytime! Hopefully you’ll see what I mean once more photos of London are uploaded! ๐Ÿ˜‰
