There was some crazy rain and snow today. I didn’t have my camera unfortunately, but I was reminded of this shot that I took a while back.

I’m a sucker for a good sunset and I love the clouds formations on this one. This one was taken ages ago, but I just rediscovered the file on my computer. The shot was taken with my old Ixus and I’m impressed how well it coped metering the scene.

The Millennium Dome, now known officially as the O2. I shot this infrared picture last summer, but never processed it.

Had some strange weather round this way today – massive thunderstorms and rain showers, interspersed with bright sunshine, resulting in the above.

This is a HDR shot of the Millennium Dome and the Canary Wharf buildings and is composed of four separate exposures. As it was a windy day, this has given the appearance of motion in the sky, as the clouds have moved significantly between the frames, even though they were taken in the space of a couple of seconds. The exposures were blended together using Photomatix and the resulting image was converted to black & white using the channel mixer in Photoshop.

I took this picture from Trinity Buoy Wharf, which is a centre for arts and cultural enterprises. There are several art studios there, as well as an old lighthouse, which recently hosted a private concert by the Streets. The location presents quite a lot of interesting subjects to photograph and is well worth a visit. Nearest public transportation is East India DLR, which is ten minutes walk away.
