I felt I was overdue another post of some of our trip photos, having exhausted my POTW material here are some less extraordinary photos from some of the places we visited.


First shot is St Stephen's Tower, commonly know as Big Ben, but Big Ben only refers to the giant Bell inside the tower. I spent a long time on this stretch of road trying to use Rear Curtain Flash to get a bus in the shot, illuminated by flash but the light trails as well. Firstly I'd left the SB- 800 at the hotel (bad move) secondly it was hard to actually judge the timing, as the exposure was 2-4 seconds before the bus arrived in shot. Anyway, patient as always Katie shivered on the side of the road, even helping me spot buses and guess the right timing. Well I didn't get the shot I wanted, but I did get this.


Taken on the same night if I recall correctly this is the London Eye and County Hall as viewed from the bridge near St Stephen's and Houses of Parliament.


A bit more light hearted the next shot shows the lengths the Empire will go to conquer the galaxy.


And Lastly Katie doesn't like this shot but I do, so as a thank you for her patience and perseverance against all odds, and not knocking my block off during the 5 weeks, here is Katie enjoying a cruise on the Thames. (Yes Stubbsy its the 18-200 and its not so crash hot bokeh)



For a few more Starwars related shots.

Love the first one, so nice to see a different treatment of this icon. Looks like it belongs in "Dr Who"

 PS I think that's a lovely shot of Katie too..... but sunglasses in London??? that's what I call wishful thinking!

Strangely she is only ever comfortable being photographed with sunnies on, and she wears them outside and driving nearly constantly so it's not that easy to take shots without them either While it rained every day bar 2 for the 5 weeks, we did see the sun albeit between downpours.

1st great concept

and 3rd one is mad

katie looks cute in the last

I agree... I took mine but cannot remember wearing them even once...

Great set... the second one looks like a postcard... actually better than a lot of the postcards that are available to tell you the truth...

the first one is almost eerie...but I likes it anyway...

and the portrait of your lovely wife is gorgeous...

I really like the first one, and the Stormtrooper one made me laugh Keep them coming!

Love the stormtrooper one! Hilarious! The london eye is superb as well
