Countdown Clock

Some early (and warm) spring sunshine and coloured shirts (some football, others not so) around the Olympic Clock can brighten up what can be a very gloomy and dull Trafalgar Square, as these images show.






Two recent days with sunshine - must be a record for London. How do I know there were two days ? No, not by the date on the shirt - rather the days remaining to the Olympics reads 152 on the Clock in the bottom image and then 137 in the top three....

Photographic Exhibition

 

My local photographic society is holding its annual exhibition next month - April 4th until April 15th - in Teddington, which you may be able to see from the poster above. Perhaps you may like to visit if you are in South West London then. I have to plead guilty to taking the image on that poster - an "infrared" image of Richmond Park. Have a closer look at it in my Flickr photostream here.

I suspect the purists amongst you out there won't regard it an "infrared" - it was taken on a regular (ie unconverted and digital) Nikon D80 with an "infrared" filter, cutoff point at 720nm, and it needed a little processing afterwards with Photoshop. Does this matter ? Not in my opinion. However, I have to say that I still prefer the results I used to get from Kodak HIE infrared film. Shame it is no longer manufactured.....
