Snowboarder on the Piste

Snowboarder on the Piste

Just back from a snowboarding trip to Bansko, Bulgaria. Bit of a schlep to get there, a 3 hour flight followed by a 3 hour transfer, but well worth it if you’re going for a week.

Train Platform at Dusk

Took this photo from the Eurostar Train on the way to Paris last week. Had been snowing quite heavily and lots of services were cancelled but we managed to get there and back albeit with some delays.

Miss Ghana UK

Miss Ghana UK

This photo, Miss Ghana UK,  is the first on my Flickr account to reach 1,000 views, a milestone achieved earlier this week. It’s way in the lead in terms of views, my next most popular is not even on 200 views. Took this last year in Ghana during the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament.

It’s not even a great photo but I guess photos of glamorous ladies are more interesting to most people than photos of walls, plants and buildings.

Roman Aqueduct in Segovia

Panograph of Toledo

Panograph of Segovia

Been stitching together some composite photos in Photoshop recently including this one of Segovia which I took earlier in the summer. Needed quite a bit of post production, largely due to the high contrasts, and has ended up looking a bit like an HDR image.

The aqueduct on the right dates from the time of Roman occupation, it’s still an astounding piece of engineering.

Full Moon at Dusk

The photograph was taken on a recent trip to Italy, doesn’t quite do it justice but it was a pretty stunning sight, amazing light.

Donostia-San Sebastian Beach

Probably my favourite picture from my recent trip to Donostia-San Sebastian. The beach there gets seriously packed, as I think this image demonstrates.

Magnolia

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Magnolia is a beautiful sight at this time of year. Taken in Ruskin Park at the weekend. Kind of reminds me of those old Japanese woodcut prints popular in the late 19th century.

Cantonese Graffiti and Pipework with Green Paint

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

This is a photo from my archive taken in Hong Kong. As well as this image I have several other photos with Cantonese text but I have no idea what any of them say. I also have this photo taken at the same time too on Flickr. If anyone can translate them I’d be really grateful, I can’t even be sure if it is grafitti or some kind of instruction that has been sprayed onto the wall. (more…)

Spotlights

Police spotlights on Champion Hill, Camberwell. The police were performing random spot checks on passing vehicles. Thought this was a pretty cool shot.
