4/5 #Fungi Two small mushrooms from a second fungi hunting trip to #EppingForest. The focus-stacking by hand worked particularly well on this one - it needed a bit of practice. Sigma 105 f2.8 four-thirds - adapted to my OM1 - LED panel. #mushrooms #fungus #fungi #photography #macrophotography

3/5 #fungi Shot a couple of weeks ago in #EppingForest (near Theydon Bois). These were the only Fly Agarics I spotted - and rather orange ones. Sigma 105 f2.8 #macro lens with a four-thirds mount - adapted to my OM1 - natural light. #mushrooms #fungus #fungi #photography #flyagaric

1/5 #fungi I made a couple of trips to hunt #EppingForest fungi and a couple of weeks ago. It's a bumper year. Sigma 105 f2.8 #macro lens with a four-thirds mount - adapted to my OM1 - manually focus-stacked. This one was lit with an LED panel. #photography #macrophotography #autumn

Throwback Saturday with a shot from 2016 of #Whitby for the #evening theme of today's #BlueSkyArtShow . This was shot on a Canon 80D with (I think) a Tamron zoom, giving what I think are my most successful sun stars. #nightphotography #cityscape #photography #Yorkshire

5/5 #Suffolk Landscape shot at Sutton Hoo. The history and archaeology are fascinating , of course, but it's also got beautiful grounds that are big enough for a proper walk. #OMsystems OM1 #olympus12100f4 #photography #scape

I always like to choose a snap from the archives for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme so here's one from 2021 for the #autumn theme, though I could have chosen one from last week. It's Wandsworth Park (with Putney railway bridge in the background) #photography #autumnleaves #landscapephotography

#abstract art on the side of a bridge somewhere in Wandsworth not far from the Thames with nature breaking through. #photography #everydaybeauty #london #foundart

Throwback Saturday Looking for a snap with a #glow theme for the #BlueSkyArtShow I thought of this bridge night shot from 2017 shot in SW Ireland. I can't remembr the exact location but I'm fairly sure it was in County Cork. #photography #nightphotography #ireland #bridge #reflection

3/5 #Thamesmead I like the #symmetry and colour scheme in these #basketball courts, with some top #streetart

2/5 #Thamesmead If Thamesmead is known for anything it's as a dsytopian location in Clockwork Orange. But it's very green with waterways, paths and well landscaped open spaces. Here's a #heron. #photography #london

1/5 Thamesmead This week a set from a walk through Thamesmead - a 1960s social housing development built on marshes south of the Thames on the east of London. This is how I arrived - a footbridge over the railway from Abbey Wood. #OMsystems #olympus12100f4 #photography #blackandwhite #symmetry

One of my endless London country series - this is the River Brent in #Pitshanger Park in #Ealing w #London. #photography #landscapephotography #riverbrent

5/5 West Ham Engine House Two details shots today from around the beam engines that once lifted West Ham's sewage up to the Northern Outfall sewer so it could run down to the Beckton sewage works. #westhamenginehouse #laowa6mm #omsystemom1 #photography #blackandwhite

4/5 West Ham Engine House The first snap shows the beam of one of the engines - pushed and pulled by the cylinders under the LH end. The second is under the RH end, it shows the link from the beam to the flywheel that ran the pumps for West Ham's sewage. #classicmono #photography #blackandwhite

3/5 West Ham Engine House The view that greets you when you enter. The boilers were behind the far wall and you can see the cylinders for each of the two engines on either side. The second snap shows a close up. #photography #blackandwhite #urbex #london #laowa6mm #omsystemom1

2/5 West Ham Engine House A pair of beam engines were used to lift West Ham's sewage. The engine house still contains the cylinders, beams and the pumps. Here's a big wheel on the pump side of one of them. #laowa6mm #omsystemom1 #photography #blackandwhite #urbex #london

1/5 West Ham Engine House This week snaps from West Ham Engine House, built at the end of the 19th C to lift West Ham's #sewage up to the Northern Outfall Sewer so it could go to the Beckton Sewage Works. In use until 1972 and neglected for years until recently. #photography #blackandwhite

Belgravia is one of the poshest parts of London full of houses like this (and embassies). The slight curve here means I could capture the numbers. It's a shame there isn't a pillar with a '1'. #photography #london #belgravia
