Christmas Eve.

There is no new picture today, sorry. 


I am having a break from the blog for a few days, but will be back soon. Any new images will published when I restart.


Happy Christmas to everyone.

Near to Christmas

Today was a mad rush with many things to get done. So the image today is a simple shot of a rose.

River Thames

The old cement silos at Northfleet are all gone now, just an empty site looking towards the wharf.

Winter solstice

Today is the winter solstice. The shortest day of the year and the turning point when days will start to get longer and the nights shorter. As i was in work early and did not finish until about 3pm I saw very little daylight and what I did see looked very wet! So the picture today is back to our tree.

London The Shard and Spitalfields.

We were up in London today around Borough and the site of The Shard and then at Spitalfields and Brick Lane.

Snow

The snow is still here and threatening to deliver some more.

Snow at Bluewater

There was a good fall of snow last night. I managed into work easily enough!

Early Morning Light

We had a glimpse of sun before I was into work this morning. I also had my camera so I got some images.

Look Mum No Lens!!!

OK perhaps not 'no lens', more nothing resembling a normal camera lens. Glass dragees can be used as a lens. The lights are Christmas tree lights.

Frost

Another frosty morning today.

Last of the red plates

This will be the last of the red plate images this week. I promise!

Red at Christmas

Christmas decoration from the tree and a red plate go together well.

Christmas must be coming

We got the Christmas decoration out of the attic this morning, so my studio is full until they get put up. This will also give me a supply of items to photograph over the next few weeks.

Foggy Morning

For the first time for a long time there was a foggy morning here in Kent. Got out with my camera and got some interesting images. Although I always feel I ought to get better images than I do.

Chilli on a Plate

For some strange reason, very possibly connected with my daughter, we have had three chilli peppers drying on a radiator in our kitchen. I knew that there was an image there, so here it is,

Location Shooting

Today was a location shoot for one of my old clients. Lots and lots of mirrors for the annual update to his promotional material.

Mirrors are always a challenge to photograph as both the product and the reflection need to be lit. As usual I arrived with my car full of all the equipment I had, most of which got used!

The picture is of the set for the last of the products that I photographed.

Tower of stones

Some of collection of stones, taken in the studio.

London reprocessed

I reprocessed as a HDR image one of the photographs I took in London last week. The look I was aiming for was more dramatic than literal!

Gravesend river front.

One of my repeat locations when time is tight, is the river front at Gravesend.

Dickensian Christmas in Rochester

We were over in Rochester this afternoon. Had a walk along the High St.

Friday Offering

I have only being managing single images each day for the past few days. This is due to a lack of time and extra things at work. This weekend is an 'off' weekend, so hopefully I will have some spare time.

Bluewater lights.

The lights were on at the funfair at Bluewater when I came past tonight.

Trees at Shorne

 A shot from yesterday of the trees at Shorne made me think that they had a Tim Burton'ish' look to them.
