A very flooded Ashness Gate jetty on Derwentwater from last week. I’ve never seen the lake this high, however it’s not particularly surprising given the amount of rain during the middle of September.

Photograph of a flooded jetty. The long exposure has smoothed out the small waves. In the background are hills.

The London Eye and South Bank taken during a long exposure zoom burst. The effect was achieved through zooming from wide to telephoto on a 24-105 lens during a 10 second exposure.

Landscape version of a photo of the waterfall and grotto in the gardens at Rydal Hall, Cumbria. The photo on the right is the image straight out of camera, without any adjustments in Lightroom.

#cumbria #LakeDistrict #RydalHall #landscape #waterfall #gardens #photography #PhotographersUnited
Edited colour photograph of woodland scene. The focal point is a small, dry stone walled hut with a moss-covered slate tiled roof sits beside a stream. A little waterfall cascades down rocks behind the hut, leading into the stream. The hut and waterfall are surrounded by lush foliage, with dappled sunlight filtering through the trees falls onto the stream and moss-covered rocks. Unedited colour photograph of woodland scene.

Another one of those high contrast black and white photos from Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall 😬

#london #Bankside #TateModern #BlackAndWhite #monochrome #contrast #HighContrast #LightAndShadow #shadows #silhouette #graphic #window #sunlight #photography #PhotographersUnited
High-contrast black and white photograph showing sunlight projected onto the floor through a window that is out of shot. The light pattern occupies only the right half of the photo and almost resembles a zebra-crossing or barcode, and slants off to the right of the image. The left half of the image is black. Standing in the left most beam of light of the beams of light is a small child, seemingly trailing behind an adult silhouetted in another area of light.

Another one from a few years ago, whilst the Millennium Bridge was undergoing some TLC. Taken with a focal length of around 200mm in late Spring at around 6pm.

Colour photograph of a low sun over a river during golden hour. Silhouetted against the vivid orange sky are a number of people crossing a a bridge, and construction cranes in the distance. The sun’s reflection in the water below is broken up by waves and ripples in the surface of the river.

High-contrast black and white photograph showing sunlight projected through narrow vertical windows onto the floor, almost resembling a zebra-crossing or barcode. Standing in one of the beams of light is a small lone figure with an elongated shadow, dwarfed by the surroundings.

The top of Eira do Serrado was shrouded in low cloud so the view was non-existent, but the mist certainly added to the atmosphere.

This shot was taken on the Nun’s Path from Eira do Serrado down to the town of Curral das Freiras.

The National Trust Centenary Stone, situated in Calfclose Bay on Derwentwater, by artist Peter Randall-Page.

The photo was taken at 10pm last September, lit solely by moonlight.

So, it appears the helicopter parked on Potters Fields relates to an Amazon Prime film called Heads of State. Given the film goes live on Prime tomorrow, it’ll be a publicity stunt. Who knows, maybe Idris will make an appearance…

Today, there seems to be Black Hawk helicopter done up as ‘Marine One’ on Potters Fields, adjacent to Tower Bridge. No idea why.

Somewhere in Little Britain – the street, not the TV show – this building is trying to camouflage itself, and doing a very good job.

Thank you. It was something I created a few years ago and abandoned - I’m not a proper artist or designer so was out of my depth. I was originally going to call it Smurf Trooper and did a version of the classic Rogue Trooper logo
Spoof of Rogue Trooper logo, which reads Smurf Trooper.
