I really like Leadenhall Market. It’s a wonderful place to go and pretend you aren’t really in the City at lunchtime. The market itself dates back to the 14th century. It primarily sells fresh food; among the vendors there are cheesemongers, butchers and florists. Originally it was a meat, game and poultry market. The ornate …

Southbank Centre World Map in Lego
Finally, these are rubbish photos (IMHO – all taken by me) but I think the idea of inviting the public in over several weeks to build a world map from Lego is brilliant. I would like to point out that sometimes my son gets to play with his Duplo once I’ve finished with it… E-M5 …
Ice Cream and Coffee
Less serious now – passed a whole bunch of ice cream vans and coffee sellers with vintage vehicles that looked amazing….
Animal Rights
So whatever you think about their aims, or the treatment of animals by drug companies, or the benefits that such treatments bring, I found these guys protesting down the street from my office. I must admit I did a double take when I first saw them as I originally thought the woman’s poster was advocating …
Shooting near London Bridge and Monument
OK, that sounds more dramatic than it needs to, but hey, I’ve got to get hits somehow! Anyway, today I walked down to Monument and London Bridge (no, I didn’t go to Arizona…). Lots of tourists, lots of people exploiting the tourists (had to dodge the pickpockets but the Ice cream sellers were fair game) …
Exchange Sq and Liverpool St with Oly 75mm
This lens is mindblowingly good. I’m honestly wondering if it can resolve more detail than the sensor can manage. Before you accuse me of being overblown, look at some of the shots I took today! Note one of the pictures was with the Oly 12mm WA lens. Anyway, I’m still sore that I’ve not been …
Rentamob
I saw these guys preparing to set up a protest outside the station I commute to in London, assumed they were for real with their protest for a 4 day week and snapped a few shots. I then looked closer at the photos and noticed the web address on the cards and placards for something …
Street Photography with Olympus 75mm F1.8 Lens – Part 2
So again, I popped out in my lunchbreak to test the Oly 75m. Again it impressed. Today was a good bit brighter than yesterday so the first thing I noticed was the E-M5 blinking an over exposure warning when I set it to F1.8. Luckily I had an ND Filter with me that I used …
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm 1:1.8 Lens
So this arrived today in the post, packed up in so much packaging the postie must have thought I was having a barbecue delivered. It is a fantastic lens and looks the part on the E-M5: In any event, I’ve been waiting for this one with bated breath. It seemed at the time of purchase …
Olympic Torch Relay – City of London
So I had spent the last however long laughing at the torch relay. I couldn’t really understand what the fuss was about. Today it hit the city and, thanks to a delay to my train (thanks First Capital Connect), I wasn’t able to make it to St Pauls in time to see the torch relay …
