The Dean's Staircase at St Paul's Cathedral in London has been described as the purest of all Sir Christopher Wren's creations. On one level purely mathematical in its aspect, on another twisting round like apple peel perfectly cut in an unbroken strip.
As with this type of tight structure, it was difficult to find an able that worked well and translated the staircases elegance. This was my best offering – hastily taken as for some unfathomable reason patrons are requested not to take photos. Why?
Considering this was a 0.5 sec handheld exposure I'm not too displeased with sharpness.

This image was taken on my last trip to London with Karin after having a lovely meal at the Sky Garden. The sun was beginning to go down and so we had beautiful light on the buildings on the other side of the river. I had to balance my camera on the rail as I did not bring my tripod, didn't lose it in the Thames so all was well. Hope you like this one.

I've been back to this location a few times since my initial long exposure shot with my phone a few weeks back. Here's another take on the scene using my Fujifilm X-T2 ...

Taken during this year's Open House. Just came out of City Hall (queues were not bad at all - a mere 25 minutes) and felt the need to feed. There's a handy M&S near by and I knew that I wanted to take this point which I had previously made a mental note to take and coincidently I have seen two versions here on Flickr. Almost went for a B&W but resisted the urge as I have uploaded a few recently. I am quite happy how it came out.
Just found out that this area is apparently called 'More London'.

The view from across the river on the west bank of the Greenwich Peninsula. Like so many places in London this is a view that no longer really exists due to the constant progress and development.
I've recently managed to resurrect my images from 2014 on an old hard drive and I've given some of the a fresh processing in Lightroom ...

A section of the Canada Water Library in London's Docklands. Architects: CZWG, 2012. Photo taken in September 2014.
Despite being in something of a creative doldrums at the moment with regards to my photography, I'm glad I took my little Sony RX100 pocket rocket out on an amble along the Thames at Battersea earlier, along with my trusty GorillaPod.
The conditions were kind and I managed to grab a couple of longish exposures of the power station in quite a nice blue hour light ....
Architecture in London: Switch House. Possibly the last one from this venue. Promise.

Well chuffed with this one - don't think I have seen any other image of the Shard from this angle.
Or contact me on email: chaitanya.d.photography@gmail.com
Another twilight shot from my recent visit to Battersea Power Station with my little Sony RX100 and GorillaPod. I quite like the illuminated 'shoulders' beneath the chimney stacks ...
The Shock of the New
This is another series of my images, this time that show how Modern Architecture has inbedded itself with the more Traditional styles. Some successful, some not to my estimation. But we’re all different in our tastes, you may even like them yourselves.

Residential corridor in the iconic Brunswick Centre. Brutalist concrete housing estate in the Bloomsbury area of central London.
A follow-up visit to the South Kensington area gave me an opportunity to break out my tilt-shift lens in order to capture this view of the main entrance to the Natural History Museum.
This is actually a vertical panorama from two shots taken handheld with a quick turn of the shift knob between each exposure. Although it is possible to capture in a single exposure holding the camera in the portrait orientation, the framing was a little tight, so I wanted the option to have slightly more room in the composition hence the two-landscape-shots-combined approach.
Much like standing in front of Westminster Abbey close up, you really have to be standing in this exact spot to appreciate how much this is to cram in with a 17mm lens.
Unsurprisingly this is a Grade I listed building, #1080675 at Cromwell Road, SW7 5BD.
One of Four. Lockdown editing of a photo by me from 2017.
These are four versions of the same facade photo.
The building is the US Embassy in Nine Elms, London. Architects: Kieran Timberlake.
I've tried a couple of times to get tilt-shift shots of the Guildhall, but was thwarted by various things getting in the way on those attempts.
Today I managed to grab a shot in the few seconds when there weren't any people standing in the way or walking through ...
Detail from the 2016 annual Serpentine Pavilion in Hyde Park, London, by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels' firm 'BIG'.
This structure is a magnificent cathedral of glass fibre.
Just discovered this building after waking up this morning and knew I had to go and visit it and take some photographs.
Another challenging location due to the light and the fact that a bunch of cranes and diggers were blocking it from the angle I'd planned to capture it ...

Ada Street Studios, Hackney - Built 1965-66. Architects; Yorke, Rosenberg and Mardall in conjunction with Hubert Bennett from the Greater London Council’s Architects’ Department.
[Shard - noun - a broken piece or fragment, as of pottery or glass.]
Architect Renzo Piano on the design of The Shard: “We will use clear glass – low iron glass. It’s also called extra white glass in England. This is very different from regular glass, which is very green (…) So depending on the day, the light and the position of the sun, the building will look different.” In other words: The Shard’s colour and mood are constantly changing, sensitive to the changing sky around it.
