Wooden

Submitted by Philip Storry on Fri, 10/04/2015 - 17:37

This is the wooden front of Edmund Martin Ltd's shop - tripe dressers, meat & offal salesmen, according to the sign that I conveniently left out of shot.

Taken back in 2008, this shop was demolished as part of the Crossrail works, which is a great shame.

Signal

Submitted by Philip Storry on Fri, 03/04/2015 - 10:21

In 2010 I was fortunate enough to get access to the newly renovated Thames Tunnel, and took a few photographs.

This is one of my favourites from that day:

There's no selective editing here - that's pretty much what I saw. The overwhelming greyness of the background makes the red signal look slightly fake, which is an interesting effect in itself.

Shadows In The Fire

This was a test shot for a new lens.

It turns out that if you want to buy a new lens, you should do it in autumn. You get some really nice things to take photos of...

Cranes with contrail

The thing people don't do often enough in cities...

Look up.

I happened to notice this pleasing composition, which was gone moments later.

Flaming Heart

The Flaming Heart is a fine whisky by the excellent folks at Compass Box.

At the launch there was some pyromania:

There are a few more photos in this set, but that's the one I like the most.

Laid to Rest (Kensal Green Cemetary Flickr Meet)

I wandered over to Kensal Green Cemetary, and took some photos.

Tower Bridge at Sunrise

Submitted by Philip Storry on Tue, 03/01/2012 - 19:41

I went into London before sunrise, looking for good photos.

(Which sounds impressive, but it was December 29th, and sunrise was about 8am!)

Knowing that the sun rises behind Tower Bridge, I smelled an easy photo opportunity. But woe is me - I can't decide which one I like better!

The Shard Under Construction

Submitted by Philip Storry on Wed, 30/11/2011 - 08:16

The Shard is something I see almost every working day, as it's being built right next to a station on my commute.

This photo is atypical of most photos I've taken of it, or seen - it shows a cloud eclipsing the top of the building on an otherwise fine day.

Open For Business As Usual...
(Click on the photo to see it on Flickr if you can't make out the text. Then book an optician's appointment.)

This is what I love about London. You can't make this kind of stuff up.

Business Park Landscape

Submitted by Philip Storry on Wed, 07/09/2011 - 22:49

It's been a year since I put up any photos online. So I wanted to put up one taken at around the time I stopped.

I took this one at Bridgend, in Wales. I'd just checked into the hotel for a wedding, and had an hour or so to kill - so I stepped out with my camera.
