St. Pauls by Night

GR, f8.0, 8 sec., ISO 100, RAW
Been to see 'The Merchant of Venice' at the Globe Theater and went for a walk along the Southbank before and after the show. This photo could have maybe done with being exposed a bit longer but I still like it and think it shows the colors of the lights better.

Blue and White

GR, f8.0, 1/125, ISO 100, RAW
My first though was to focus on the blue crane only but something was missing so pointing the camera lower and getting the people in gave a more balanced photo.

Blue and Orange

GR, f8.0, 1/125, ISO 100, RAW
A busy day at work so didn't get to take many photos but took this on my way to work. They had this car on display although it was pretty much hidden away and most people walked past.

Passing By

GRD, f7.1, 1/800, ISO 400, JPG b&w
Overall not a great day for photography, took only a handful of photos and I ended up deleting most of them. Just didn't see enough of interest today.

Street Reflection

GRD, f5.6, 1/500, ISO 400, JPG b&w
I like reflections, always great for photography especially when the sun is out causing even more reflections.All the glass buildings reflect the sun and surrounding buildings off of each other so it's very nice.

Different Neighbours

GR, f8.0, 1/180, ISO 100, RAW
The Lloyd's building is pretty cool, I like industrial designs so this building is prefect for me. It does stand out in between all the glass buildings that seem to be quite popular now but look a bit boring.

The Tower

GR, f8.0, 1/250, ISO 100, RAW
While not as nice and warm as yesterday it's still been nice to walk around during lunch and take some photos.  Another architecture photo from London to get a bit of a break from people photos.

City Morning

GR, f8.0, 1/250, ISO 100, RAW
My train got cancelled and I ended up taking a different train so, I found myself near the One New Change building. Since I had some time to spare, I went to the rooftop terrace to escape the people on the street and get a nicer view of London in the morning.

Walking Through the Market

GR, f6.3, 1/320, ISO 1000, RAW
Back to work after the long weekend and back to using the GR again, the phone is just not very practical in every day use and the GR just has much better image quality.
The weather has been great and the sunshine made some places nicer and more interesting in the morning on my way to work.

Gherkin

GR, f8.0, 1/60, ISO 160, RAW
Didn't take many photos but got to take a few photos after work today. This one might be a bot boring but it's the one that turned out best.

Broadgate

a7s, f8.0, 1/400, ISO 1000, RAW, 43mm (Pentax Limited f1.9 43mm L)
One last photo with the Sony a7s before giving it back to Tom, it was fun to use it for a few days but it's a bit too big and heavy for me to take along and the EVF makes it impossible to slide into a jacket pocket even with a small lens. I hope Sony or someone else will put that sensor in a more compact camera.

Texting

a7s, f8.0, 1/400, ISO 250, 43mm (Pentax Limited f1.9 43mm LTM)
Since I still had the Sony a7s, I took some photos on my way to work with it to see how it would work as a daily camera. While it's nice, it's just too big for a daily camera, here nothing really beats the GR.
The Pentax Limited 43mm is a great lens however and fits great on the a7s.

Cranes in the Morning

GR, f8.0, 1/1000, ISO 100, RAW

It's been a nice and sunny morning and I took (unwillingly) a slightly longer walk to work to get some fresh air after being packed in a crappy train. Still, it meant I could take some photos and enjoy a bit the sunshine.
This one is one of the many building sites around the City and London, they keep building more offices and flats nobody can afford so more people have to commute in to London every morning to make the trains even more packed. I miss Asia where you swing on your motorbike and go where you need in a few minutes.

Kayak

GR, f8.0, 1/320, ISO 100, RAW

It was a great day so I decided to go back to the Barbican for lunch. It's still the best place to go for lunch so it was very nice. Sitting outside in the sun it was a nice way to relax and it was quite warm.
