Sunset at the Observatory

GXR, f10, 1/3000, ISO 200, RAW, 50mm

After the last weeks of snow and rain the sun came out today and so did the people and headed to Greenwich park. You could see that they were happy to have a nice and sunny day in the park.

Green Laser

GRD III, f5.6, 8 sec., ISO 100, RAW

Nothing special for the picture today, just wanted to show the green laser from the Greenwich Observatory and have a long exposure landscape.

Looking For The Stars

GRD III, f1.9, 1/8, ISO 100, RAW

I went out for a walk and walked around the Greenwich Observatory. I like taking pictures of the big telescope there, the combination of the yellow telescope and white dome look very nice.

Another reminder about the 3rd Ricohforum meet-up this Saturday. If you are around you should join us even if you have no Ricoh camera, we might have some surprises in light of the GXR announcement.

Smile!

Another gray and rainy day in London without many pictures taken, I need to find a weekly project to work on.
I took this picture on my way home near the Greenwich Observatory, I find itreally cool that she is actually smiling in my direction instead of looking at the guy with the big dSLR taking a picture of her. I cropped the picture a bit tighter to get a closer composition on this.

Took it easy today and just went for a walk to Greenwich Park and the Observatory there. It was nice but I got told off for taking pictures since some of the things are copyrighted, even this staircase is off limits for photography but I already took that shot. Should you have been following my blog you would have noticed two other pictures (the last one only two weeks ago) taken in the Observatory so this rule must be new. I will never understand the reason to limit photography and will never support it. What I do support is limiting people to use their flash everywhere but this is a different matter.

After my holidays in Hong Kong I decided to take it easy this weekend so have only been out for a walk around Greenwich Park and the Observatory. It gets dark very early, this does not help to inspire me to go out and take pictures.
