Well perhaps not brutal but definitely inspired from brutalist architecture. This is one of the entrances/exits of the Canary Wharf underground station. It is probably my favourite station to photo as the architecture is superb. This is the more quiet entrance. The main one is much larger but designed in the same type of style.

It was taken out on a photo walk with Dylan, John and Mike. We weren’t out for long as is was freezing and felt like -20 (in reality it was more like -3) so pretty cold. I didn’t use a tripod for this photo and perhaps I should of. It caused me to raise the ISO so a lot of noise was produced. I managed to get rid of most of it but I am still not happy with the actual opening in the entrance. I produced a version where that noise was gone but it still didn’t float my boat.

No guesses for where this is

As the title says, its pretty easy to tell where this photo was taken due to the fact it is plastered all over the balcony. I was walking to St Paul’s (again) and this is on my route,

The architecture of the centre creates great angles to photo. Inside you have to be quick to take photos as security comes up to you as soon as they see a tripod or DSLR. The view from the top floor roof is great and if you’ve been following me a while you will have seen many of these. If not then search back on the blog and you will soon come across one.

Late Night Cathedral

Taken on a very cold winters night last year, here is a photo of a side door of (guess the cathedral)…. thats right…the usual St Paul’s that I must of photographed hundreds of times by now.

I had a mixed weekend filled with MacDonalds (i know, it was a weak point), car shopping for a friend, snow and a late night/early morning Super Bowl that I am regretting today. It was worth it as the Giants won who I decided to support ever since I saw them play at Wembley a few years back.

Tiny Mickey

Last photo of the week now and one that I only processed yesterday. I found a lot of Disney Magic pictures that I haven’t processed that I feel are definitely worth the time.

A lot of my free time on the boat was walking around with my new 50mm 1.4 finding unique shots. While friends were sitting around the pool on deck 9 I started walking around the open decks on 9 and 10.

Its gonna be a cold one this weekend for those of you in England (and northern Europe) with snow here in London planning to fall on Saturday. I’m gonna have to wrap up warm and take photos over the weekend, I suggest that you do too.

Right in the Centre Point

The tall building that goes out of view on the left is a landmark to us Londoners known as Centre Point. Being the buildings name and written in lights on the top, its an obvious choice for a name. It lies on the just ion that links two of the most famous roads in London. Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street.

Only one more photo left for this week. I’m gonna try and find a goodun’.

Speak to you all tomorrow.

Congratulations Disney Magic!

Todays photo is in honour of the Disney Magic Cruise ship. It has been voted the best cruise ship in the world by a survey carried out by contravener. Take a look at all of the results here.

I am proud to be a part of this and it was a great 6 months of my life. Mickey and I still keep in touch every now and then and he is going to head the celebrations on board (expect a lot of crew parties). You can see the beauty here docked in Castaway Cay (the Disney island for those of you new to the blog) in the Bahamas. I am always disappointed with the pictures of this place as the sky is never interesting although it was great weather all the time there apart from one accession where nature decided to bombard us with its monthly storm.

Rugby

I walk past this shop in Covent Garden every day to get to work (although as you can tell by the christmas trees) this was taken before I started working here. Its probably a shop that I will never step in, unless I win the lottery or marry someone really really rich (I am fine with either of those by the way).

It is of course the Ralf Lauren shop in Covent Garden, placed right next door to the Apple store there. I used Nik Software’s HDR Efex Pro to process this image for a change. I never used to like using it due to the fact that it was very very slow on my old computer but it works great on my Mac. It gives a very different effect to Photomatix so I will have to keep on using it of I want to know the settings. Perhaps one day.

Hungry for an apple on Regent Street

As promised here is the bonus photo for this week. Since loosing my iPhone I bought the new Nokia Lumia 800 Windows phone. I love it to bits but I do miss the iPhone. Windows phone is great and I would recommend it to anyone if they were looking for a simple great phone to use but for me there isn’t enough apps. Granted there is everything you need (or something similar to what you would get on the iPhone) but it just isn’t the same. When the new one come out in the summer (so they say) I will be straight there to get it. Its lucky that I work very close by.

Anyway enjoy the weekend.

Looking out over Segesta

The only landscapes I have taken with what you would call greenery and mountains have been while I was in Sicily. I need to get out and about around England and surrounding areas to shoot the british countryside. That is my resolution for this year like I have mentioned before.

I have posted a picture of a temple in Segesta before and you can just see it in the centre of this image.
