Portobello Markets and Trellick Tower

Decided to visit the Trellick Tower via Portobello Road. I deftly avoided all the classic camera stalls. The shots from yesterday were useful in color grading than anything else.

Slowly getting the hang of Bibble 5

It's been several months since moving on to Bibble 5, and I'm slowly getting the feel of the package. Here's one of my latest attempts from a visit to the ZSL today. I call it, "bending over".

Bushy Park Deer Rut

I think I may be shooting it a little late in October since I was so busy last month.

Maybe next week I'll be able to get some fighting shots.

Brutalist Architecture : Robin Hood Gardens

Was introduced to Robin Hood Gardens as a possible photography subject, and surprise! It's an example of brutalist architecture. A kind of architectural subject that I have a love/hate relationship with.

Here's what I got today:

The whites look a tad grey in my browser :-/ Darned color management.

Whipsnade Zoo in the rain

Visited Whipsnade Zoo today with a fellow photog. Was hoping for good weather (go, power of positive thinking!) but we were inundated with bucket loads of rain.

I decided to risk it and just wear my cool weather gear, and was quite damp at the end of the day. I shoulda just brought out my full wet weather kit :-/

Anyways, here's a few of my favourites:

The sad old king.

One of the cheetah cubs at play. They were born in late may.

Awww..... Contrast is very low thanks to shooting through wet glass >.<

Don't you wanna hug 'em?

A pack of 8 wolves, 2nd in number to Bayerischer Wald in Germany. The inclement weather seems to have them very active. Love those furballs.

I title this "Not talking to you"

On the way home.

And a bunch of fluff balls :)

Its wet...

Inside Leicester Square Tube. Just a random shot with the camera on a pedestal.

Heading home in the rain.

A quiet weekend

A quiet weekend. I think I'm almost rested up.

First a visit to the zoo. Walked through Regent's Park, and wanted to make a shot of people heading towards that white structure.

Did both a spot of photography and sketching. Here's a shot of some meerkat kittens.

Decided to just have a slow stroll around, and headed west towards Marlebone. About this time, my paws decided to complain about the 3 hours of walking, so I decided to take the Bakerloo line down to Trafalgur square instead.

Some concert thing was going on. Bit too many ppl for my tastes, so I decided to beat a retreat home.

One last shot - a couple watching the square.
