Chasing the light

This is the title of my PAD (PESO) on Blipfoto. I've just uploaded pics for 9 and 10 Jan. So far all except one have been taken with my compact - this will continue to be the case as I simply can't carry my DSLR around with me every day.

I took quite a few shots last night for a change and here's an alternative one for yesterday:

That looks like a familiar place, is it near DCLG? Bressenden Place perhaps?

It is indeed ! My friend works at DCLG and we meet for Tapas at la Tasca regularly.

Excellent :) I like the contrast - a good range of tones without anything being obviously blown out.

Amazing. I have seen other shots of this building, but did not know where it is. Tonight I saw it when on the bus going to Victoria Station. Coincidence or what? A good photo, to boot.

As a PS, the URL in the original post was incorrect, so I have corrected it using my forum administrator super powers.

Your PAD/PESO is developing very nicely, Rose, and you are getting some good shots.

Have also been playing around a bit more with today's shot of the garden at the day centre where I've been playing music today. Trying to enhance the fantasy look that I see in my mind's eye. WDYT ?

Very nice! Before I'd even read your text I'd looked at the picture and thought it had a "secret garden" feel :)

Off to check blipfoto now.

Works for me too Rose! I like the colour original, but prefer the B&W
