Is this a social media pylon? Shot near Waltham Cross in the Lea Valley park last week. Not my first time with with such a shot, but pleased wit this one, and a chance for a weak joke. #photography #pylon #symmetry #lookingup #stunday

Throwback Saturday Capturing #tall for today's #BlueSkyArtShow here's the Angel of the North -note the tiny figure for scale. This is a #panorama made by stitching quite a few ultra-wide fairly close up shots together for an unusual perspective. #photography #angelofthenorth #publicart #sculpture

Continuing the #ElyCathedral theme for #stunday here's a night shot of the tower and some of the surrounding historic buildings. #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography #classicmono #blackandwhite #monochrome

Looking for a snap with a #morning theme for the #BlueSkyArtShow lets me revisit this 2011 pic taken in Grand Teton National Park - one of the few occasions I have got straight out of bed to shoot. Spot the flight of geese. #photography #landscapephotography #Teton #GrandTeton #Wyoming

Behind you is a steel fire door which leads into the Chancel roof void. I once stepped through it to check for bats. I walked out along planks lying on the truss scissors with only a lamp. It was an experience to see the old roof structure snaking away from me into the distance. Never again...

5/5 Ely Cathedral 2 To finish this second set from #ElyCathedral, here's a view from inside the octagonal Lantern in the roof. The painted panels open and give you this view. The glass and painting is Victorian. #OMsystemOM1 #fourthirds #Olympus7_14f4 #photography #churchphotography

4/5 Ely Cathedral A #blackandwhite treatment brings out something special in #churchphotography. #OMsystemOM1 #fourthirds #Olympus7_14f4 #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography #classicmono #monochrome

3/5 Ely Cathedral Another angle #lookingup at the octagonal lantern (built after the original ceiling fell down.) #OMsystemOM1 #fourthirds #Olympus7_14f4 #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography #gothicarchitecture

2/5 Ely Cathedral 2 You can book a tour up into the Lantern of #ElyCathedral. I stuck my camera out when they opened a panel without being able to see what I was shooting and got this. #OMsystemOM1 #fourthirds #Olympus7_14f4 #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography

1/5 Ely Cathedral 2 A second set of images from #ElyCathedral this week starting with this looking up shot of one of the transepts and including the octagonal Lantern. #OMsystemOM1 #fourthirds #Olympus7_14f4 #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography

A lone tree on a hill near Theydon Bois on Friday. Shot on a vintage digital Olympus E400. I think it's the last Olympus model with a CCD sensor. #fourthirds #OlympusE400 #ccdsensor #Olympus14_35mmf2 #photography #landscapephotography

Throwback Saturday Looking for a snap with a #soft theme for today's #BluSkyArtShow I thought of these scarves shot in Spitalfields market in 2024 with the 7artisans18mm f6.3 body cap lens - which is a lot of fun and full of character. Who needs sharpness? #photography #streetphotography #market

5/5 King's Lynn First the tidal clock from St Margaret's, KIng's Lynn Minster - never seen one of those before - and then some more empty historic streets. #kingslynn #norfolk #photography #architecture #architecturephotography #streetphotography

4/5 King's Lynn One of many streets full of old buildings in #Kingslynn. #kingslynn #norfolk #photography #architecture #architecturephotography #streetphotography

3/5 King's Lynn Two of the rooms in King's Lynn Town Hall: 1) the 1768 Georgian Assembly Room 2) medieval Stone Room (rebuilt 1766) Both taken with the crazy wide Laowa 6mm f2 on OM Systems OM1. #kingslynn #norfolk #photography #architecture #architecturephotography

2/5 King's Lynn There is a lot of history in this town and many old buildings, and I came back with lots of street and alley scenes. #kingslynn #norfolk #photography #architecture #architecturephotography #streetphotography

1/5 KIng's Lynn I spent a day in King's Lynn last month, This is the Custom House - built by Henry Bell in 1683 as a merchants' exchange. The building was used as a customs house from the 18th century until 1989. #kingslynn #norfolk #photography #architecture #architecturephotography

Continuing the #shadowplay theme from yesterday for the #BleSkyArtShow, here's one from last week at Marble Hill House in W London. #photography #architecture #shadows #blackandwhite #classicmono #architecturephotography #stunday

I see a man at the other end of the building...

Throwback Saturday Looking for a shot with the theme of #ShadowPlay for today's #BlueSkyArtShow I remembered this one from 2018 taken in Ottawa in the National Gallery of Canada. #photography #architecture #shadows #blackandwhite #classicmono #architecturephotography

4/5 #monochrome #infrared Only a few weeks ago, but I suspect all the trees will have leaves by now. Harold Wood Park on the edge of E London. #fourthirds #Olympus14_35mmf2 lens #fullspectrum EM1ii. #590nm filter #photography #ir #classicmono #landscape #landscapephotography #scape

2/5 #monochrome #infrared This is the River Ingrebourne in Harold Wood Park in E London a month ago. There's a colour version earlier in my feed. #fourthirds #Olympus14_35mmf2 lens #fullspectrum EM1ii. #590nm #photography #blackandwhite #classicmono #landscape #landscapephotography #scape

1/5 #monochrome #infrared This week a set of #blackandwhite snaps from recent walks. This is from late March near Warley in Essex. #fourthirds #Olympus14_35mmf2 lens #fullspectrum EM1ii. #590nm filter #photography #classicMono #landscape #landscapephotography

I'm trying to work out why I like this snap of scrubland by the Yeading Brook - something to do with the two trees echoing each other's form and the rendering of the vintage digital Panasonic DMC-L1 with the Olympus 14-35 f2 zoom. #photography #landscape #scape #landscapephotography #fourthirds

Throwback Saturday. Looking for a photo with an #odd theme for the #BlueSkyArtShow, I thought of this snap from 2018 taken at the Royal Academy summer show of a tiny head in a gallery corner. It caught my eye, and I then learned it was submiitted as a joke by Joe Lycett. #photography #gallery

5/5 Bluebells A last shot in this set from Wanstead Park's Bluebells comes from the #CCDsensor of my #OLympusE300 and the #Olympus50mmf2 macro lens. #fourthirds #CCDsensor #OlympusE300 and the #Olympus50mmf2 #macro. #photography #bluebells #flowerphotography

4/5 Bluebells Another scene from my local #bluebells wood in Wanstead Park. #fourthirds Panasonic DMC-L1 (the same as a Leica Digilux3, but cheaper) with Olympus 14-35 f2 #photography #bluebells #flowerphotography

3/5 Bluebells Another bluebell close-up. You can see it's been raining. I don't entirely buy the CCD sensor hype, but I do like the images this 22 year old camera produces. #fourthirds #CCDsensor #OlympusE330 and the #Olympus50mmf2 macro. #photography #bluebells #flowerphotography

2/5 Bluebells For my visit to my local bluebells in Wanstead Park I took a couple of elderly digital cameras noted for their colours. This is with the #fourthirds #CCDsensor #OlympusE330 and the #Olympus50mmf2 macro. #photography #bluebells #flowerphotography

1/5 Bluebells Time for my annual joke that you need to present bluebell snaps to renew your UK photography license. Taken in Wanstead Park with the Panasonic DMC-L1 and the Olympus 35-100mm f2 zoom last week. #photography #bluebells #flowerphotography #macromonday #macro

Here's a snap from a recent walk along the Yeading Brook in W London. It's a vertorama as I didn't have a wide enough lens with me. Taken with the vintage #fourthirds #PanasonicDMC_L1 (Leica Digilux3) and the Olympus 14-35mm F2 zoom. #photography #landscape #scape #landscapephotography

Throwback Saturday Looking for a snap with an #edge theme for today's #BlueSkyArtShow I thought of this shot from the west coast of Ireland from 2019. Taken in the #Westport area on the edge of Europe. #photography #landscape #Ireland #scape

5/5 Ely Cathedral #LookingUp in #ElyCathedral at the octagonal Lantern. #OMsystemOM1 #fourthirds #Olympus7_14f4 #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography

A boost as posted just as Blue sky went down.

4/5 Ely Cathedral A handheld #vertorama of #ElyCathedral with the Romanesque arches and Victorian painted ceiling. #OMsystemOM1 #fourthirds #Olympus7_14f4 #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography

3/5 Ely Cathedral The sun shines through the stained glass to illuminate the floor in #ElyCathedral last week. #fourthirds #Olympus7_14mmf4 #OMSystemsOM1 #stainedglass #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography

2/5 Ely Cathedral 1 #ElyCathedral helpfully provide a mirror to help view the ceiling, but it works well for snaps too. Norman #romanesque arches and a Victorian painted ceiling. #OMsystemOM1 #Olympus12100f4 #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography

1/5 Ely Cathedral 1 Last week I had a short break in E Anglia starting with a visit to #ElyCathedral - best known for the octagonal lantern built in the 14th century after the original roof fell down. #OMsystemOM1 #Olympus12100f4 #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography

I've been experimenting with the hand-held high resolution feature on my #OMSystemsOM1 - obviously extra pixels are wasted on social media but its fans say it has other benefits. Here's a shot from Tate Modern looking towards St Pauls. #hhhr #Photography #London #cityscape #scape #stunday

Looking for a snap with #new theme for today's #BlueSkyArtShow I came up with this new #fern from #Tasmania in 2023 - probably a lot of #Fibonacci going on here. #OlumpusEM1iii #olympus12100f4 #photography #naturephotography

A bonus #multipleExposure for #stunday. Shot near Liverpool Street station and layered in Photoshop. #photography #icm #icmphotography

Throwback Saturday Looking for a snap with an #openings theme for today's #BlueSkyArtShow, I came across this 2017 pic from #CanterburyCathedral. Taken with #OlympusEM1 and a PanasonicLeica 12-60mm f2.8 - 4. #photography #churchphotography #architecturephotography #classicmono #blackandwhite

5/5 #multipleExposure To finish this set here's the most abstract image - lots of snaps taken at different zoom levels and at slightly different viewpoints to produce a faux-#cubist view of London. #photography #streetphotography #scape #cityscape #urbanphotography #icm #icmphotography
