Always fascinated by the shard at different times and in different light, it often seems most impressive in mist or rain. Here the red at the top shining into the rain shower give a little extra to the view. Taken with a Zeiss Sonnar 135/2.8, which is a nice enough lens, but not one that… Continue reading 20.03.14 -> Shard

Spotted at Warrior Square in St Leonards!
At the end of the double yellows is a building I really like, designed by Amanda Levete Architects, which is almost impossible to photograph, because it's on a narrow alley. The architects have, cleverly, peeled the facade back and allowed light into the building. I'd love to say I'd deliberately balanced the red of the… Continue reading 27.02.14 -> Vanishing Point
