2010-01-26 Daily Grind
A few updates done today, but the one I'm proud of is the Daily Grind.

I thought it would be cool to document my daily travel to and from work. I've only just started it, but I hope to capture a lot more things which remind me of the Daily Grind.

2010-01-05 Paris
After being in London for almost 1.5 years I decided it was time to go see the neighbouring land of France. Again I had 6 days off and took my time walking around the streets and seeing the sights. Even with 6 days it still wasn't enough for me to see it all and do it all.

Paris would have to be one of my favourite places yet, and seeing that I didn't get to do everything I wanted, I will be definitely coming back again. Besides, it's only just across the river!

Just a quick update with some photos I've taken after coming back from Prague.

After my trip to Prague I've taken a liking to monochrome images (Black & White) and started experimenting a bit more. I've also had a crack at doing some self-strobe images, and it's not as easy as I thought it would be, but I'm getting there. Enjoy!

2009-11-08 Prague
In the begining of October 2009 I took 6 days off to visit Prague. Unfortunately for me the weather was not on my side; the day I landed it was snowing, and the following 5 days it was either overcast, raining or near freezing temperatures. I didn't think it was possible, but to me the weather was worse the London.

Nonetheless, I sucked up the courage and did as much sight-seeing as possible. I came away with a few good photos, but none that I was hoping to get. Although, I would say my best set would have to be of Kostnice Ossuary. Enjoy!

2009-10-06 More London
A few weeks ago I got up at 4:45am and travelled over to More London near the Tower Bridge to catch a the sunrise. I checked the weather forecast the night before and anticipated that the sunrise was going to be one of the best you will ever see in London for a long time, usually London is covered in a white sheet of clouds.

I must admit that I was pleasently surprised by the beautiful sky and was very happy with the outcome of the photos; although I would have liked a dab of cloud here and there, but I'm not complaining!

I've also been messing around with my Lensbaby Pinhole and Zone plate system after I finish work; I'm liking the results.

2009-09-19 Venice
In September I went to Venice for 6 days, unfortunately a day and half of that was spent lying in bed being sick. But thanks to random Japanese tourists I was given some strange Japanese medicine, that I ingested the wrong way, and I was up on my feet and ready to see the sights!

I felt that Venice was a strange place, not exactly what I call a romantic city; mainly because the amount of people there. Venice has 66,000 citizens which sees 6,000,000 tourists visit them a year. That's 90 tourists per 1 citizen!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos that I did manage to take without a bunch of people standing in the way.

2009-08-23 Gondola & HDRola!
Just a quick update; I have re-edited and uploaded some HDR photos I took in my early days of doing HDR, but this time I think the images look 100x better! Also, I've uploaded a friends Venetian Gondola image he took while doing his Eurotrip in early 2009.

2009-08-23 Random Updates
It's been a tight month for me as I've bought 2 new lenses (and hopefully my last); 50mm f2 Macro and 8mm Fisheye. I've always wanted a fisheye lens and to finally have one is awesome. Check out some of the pics in the Fisheye and HDR sections.
