This place is always a magnet for tourists and today was no exception. But for Londoners like me I see it as the place to pick up a night bus if ever I was out in the early hours! All London’s night buses terminate and start here.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

I feel the title is quite fitting with this image, as the telescope is placed on one of the highest peaks in the South East of England, which offers a sweeping view over the County of Buckinghamshire. This is taken Whipsnade Zoo’s picnic area.

Anyone who follows my blog will know how much I like skies, so this fits the bill.

Whatever it was, I think it reflects in the few pictures I took of the place!! This really is the best of a bad bunch too! The sky is flat and yes it’s not as pin sharp as it could be, but C’est La Vie. I do quite like the composition though!

I think this may happen to all photographers at some point. You build up a place in your mind and can’t wait to get there to shoot, but when you get there it just doesn’t live up to expectations for whatever reason. Shame.

Next time I visit The Canadian Rockies I may feel differently about Lake Louise and take some amazing images. I hope so!

This wreck of a boat caught my eye and I shot it from several angles, but decided this was the version to process.

They were a great couple to shoot and were really up for the photo shoot which made it a lot of fun. I am shooting their wedding in July and I can’t wait. One of the best things about doing these pre wedding shoots are that you get to know each other and see how the couple act in front of the camera, so on the day the couple are a lot more relaxed, making for better photos.

I used my flash off camera and in a large softbox held by an assistant, which gives lovely dynamic, directional lighting, which makes for much better lighting than putting the flash in the camera hotshoe and on axis.

The structure in between the trees is the Dumo Santa Maria Annunziata, subject of my previous post. It was a glorious morning and I didn’t meet a soul for ages until I saw a man walking his dog!

I hope to go back and visit Lake Garda sometime, there is so much to see.

When we visited Lake Garda we stayed in Salo, a lovely small town perched right on the lake. I’ll post some more shots of Salo later this week.

Like a lot areas in Paris this is a beautifully kept area whilst always being very busy with people and traffic.

If I could change one thing, it would be to not cut off the top of the statues head!! Next time i’m in Paris I’ll change that.

Peyto Lake, Banff National Park, has this amazing turquoise colour due to the suspended glacial rock particles that enter the river in the summer months.

This shot was taken from Bow Summit viewing area so you may have seen similar shots of the Lake to this one.

I hope to return the Canadian Rockies one day armed with my greater knowledge of all things photographic and get some improved shots of the place

If you visit the square at anytime of day, there will always be a huge gathering of people and the day I took this was no exception. If you look closely (in the bottom right) you can see the London 2012 Olympics clock counting down to the opening day.

As I no longer live in London I haven’t been caught up in ‘Olympic Fever’ but did notice the change to the city when I visited last month. The public transport system has been restructured to try and improve travelling around the busy city at Olympic time with the introduction of a new monorail system which stretches from West to East London. As a result there are a few brand new stations built in Central London. One of them being Tottenham Court Road Station, which sadly resulted in the demolition of my favourite old music venue, The Astoria, to make way for it’s construction.
