Playing catch-up!

I'm not sure what to think about this picture. I’ve taken and edited this picture some time ago but because I was unsure of it, I’ve only just recently uploaded it!

I think this was taken and edited back in September 2010. I was taking a break in London's Tottenham Court Road outside Costa Coffee.
As you can see, I was "Playing catch-up" with some work that I had to do along with my daily (free) paper.

You can clearly see that i've almost gone overboard with my sharpening and contrasting in this shot but makes for an interesting image overall.

Let me know what you think.
Also, what do you think of the larger picture at the top as opposed to the frame view? all comments welcome (email if you like).

Available for sale via my redbubble account.

Until next time.....

Printed in Britain

I've taken, edited and uploaded this picture for sale yesterday. A close-up shot of the printed page. The picture was edited using Google's Picasa software.

Enjoy!

Can be purchased here as a greeting card, laminated print, matted print, canvasses or frames.

Until next time....

Cuff-links

This was taken, edited and uploaded earlier in December.

This photograph is the first in a series of photographs collected together to form the "in Miniature" collection. I hope to eventually have a range of close-up shots of everyday, easily missed objects.

I really like how this shot turned out. If you like this too, you can purchase this photograph here. You don't have to fork out for a frame, you can also buy it as a greeting card or postcard (costs £1.18 for a postcard, £1.48 for a standard sized greeting card).

Until next time.....

Ship in a bottle

Further to my earlier blog today, this is my promised second blog of the day.

I've called this "Ship in a bottle." Taken around September of this year in Trafalgar Square. The oversized mantle-piece ornament you see here is the latest artwork to adorn Trafalgar Square's fourth Plinth in London.

I really experimented with this image, editing and overlaying with Gimp (photo-editing software, much like photoshop). I really liked the result.

As always, if you like this, you can purchase it here.

Abandoned

Unfortunately, I was unable to post anything yesterday due to a very busy day.
Today, I want to make it up to you by posting two posts.

Here is one of my favourite shots. I took this back in August 2010 in Shoreditch, East London. As you can see, the sky was a perfect blue! not a cloud in sight.

I call this photograph "Abandoned" as a tube train certainly does not belong on top of a building! also, abandoned seems to fit this old train in another way. from my vantage point on the ground, it seems like the inside was gutted and turned into offices! (zoom in closer and you'll see what I mean -- you'll have to click on the frame to see a larger version).

This is certainly one of the more unusual sights in London. I have to say at this point, that the photograph WAS NOT edited! (apart from a little sharpening, honest!)

To see this for yourself, travel to Shoreditch High Street station, and it's located around the corner (look out for the drunken monkey pub -- it's located on the road before it).

As always, if you like this, you can purchase it here.

There is also another angle of the same shot which is also uploaded for sale. Look out for another post in the very near future when I share this picture with you.
Well, that's it for now. Check back later today for the second post!

Until later...

Tate Modern

taken outside Tate Modern earlier in December 2010, just before the recent heavy snow we had in London.

Tate Modern is an absolutely fantastic building. The building houses modern art and photography inside an old power station (ground floor is actually where the turbine was….. a colossal hall!).

For anyone interested in art, digital art, sculptures or photography, this is one place you should go if you're in the area! Personally, the visit has given me inspiration.
I now think even more before I take a picture, and I linger more over the picture before I begin editions.

As always... If you love this artwork, please purchase!

Until next time...

Green Gherkin

Green Gherkin has been my most popular work online to date, attracting quite a few reviews. The irony of this was that I almost didn't upload it for sale!

Green Gherkin was photographed and uploaded back in September.
