This ornate street lamp was photographed on Westminster Bridge, near Big Ben, the houses of Parliament and the London Eye. Apart from the great style and gold details the painted side of the lamps caught my eye and made me wonder why this side of the street lamps are painted. I suppose there could be…

Some of the best views of New York city can be found from Liberty Island, site of the beautiful Statue of Liberty. New York is the only place in America that I have visited and probably the biggest city I have been to so far. I would love to take more great skyscapes of huge…

Flying to a new city such as Barcelona with today’s low baggage weight meant that taking a large and heavy tripod in my suitcase was a hard decision to make. That was until I found out I was going to have a chance to see the wonderful Font Màgica (magic fountains) outside the Palau Nacional…

Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square are huge entertainment areas of London (full of cinemas, casinos and restaurants). Obviously the above photograph was taken with my camera on a tripod. I…

When I first saw the “big wheel” in Manchester, I didn’t just think that here is an opportunity to get up high in the centre of the city, I also thought that if I was here just after the sun had gone down with a tripod, it could make for some interesting photos. The main…

I have always thought that, given a long enough exposure time on the camera, statues at night could make for interesting photos. So, keen to try this theory, I went to the biggest statue / sculpture that I could think of at the time. The Victoria Memorial is placed at the centre of Queen’s Gardens…

This is classic skyline lighting of a classic building in London. The Houses of Parliament have stood on this site from 1097. The tower on the far left of this image is Victoria Tower and on the right hand side of the frame is Clock Tower, more commonly known as Big Ben. Taken at ten…
