Who knew bubbles could be so beautiful and intricate? Well captured.

Taken from a handy vantage point in Croydon in the pouring rain, I think I'll be back in fairer weather for some of the other views available from that vantage point

Urgh, I hate this. Lazy snapshot. Move on


Warp & Weft by cedarsphoto, on Flickr

I thought I'd taken a proper photo after this one, this was a "I wonder how this would look" moment that has ended up being my shot for today

Lacking in effort & inspiration now. Not long to go at least.

I've been watching this building go up as I travel to and from the gym. Which considering how often I have had time to go to the gym lately means I saw it and thought "wtf where did that come from"


Day 308 - Red White Blue by cedarsphoto, on Flickr

I had a great plan for this year's bonfire night (5th Nov) - go to the top of a nearby hill that has a spectacular view over Croydon and the nearby Crystal Palace as well as far afield as central London & Canary Wharf. I took this of the Crystal Palace fireworks display with the TV pylon, the Shard and the City on the horizon.

I have a colossal panorama of the whole scene with fireworks going off but it needs a ton of processing first.


Bonfire Night - 309/365 by cedarsphoto, on Flickr

In desperation after getting home late I tried to create an abstract shot of our ceiling light. It was OK but not anything special though I found inverting the image added a little bit extra.


Abstract - 310/365 by cedarsphoto, on Flickr

I ran an outdoor strobist session tonight. Just photographers, no models, so the pressure was off and it left us free to experiment.

I thought the structure of the walls of this building would make an interesting backdrop and some of the images the group have look great! In the end, I didn't actually take many pictures of my own but I did get this one and it's a fun candid of a more lighthearted moment

Strobist - YN560II @ 1/8th power camera left, above his head on full spread to catch the wall and light him. Another hand-held YN560II on 1/128th power behind to light the wall.


Kick It! - 311/365 by cedarsphoto, on Flickr

After an unsuccessful afternoon of street shooting I clicked this entirely by accident on my way home.

Sign of some kind of spooky sentience lurking in streetlights or just a convenient coincidence?

You decide!


The Face of Light - 312/365 by cedarsphoto, on Flickr

A very busy day and I didn't have a camera for most of it but I spotted this abstract scene while in the pub and snapped it.
