Shot this on the way home the day I got my Canon EOS R5 this was one of the test shots off the new camera, while at the camera store I also bought a new carbon fiber Gitzo tripod, and a Gitzo ball head to go with it, so had a great time with a new camera and tripod :) forgot to get a cable release while i was there so this was shot on self timer so it would not get camera shake from pressing the button , shutter speed at 8 seconds. I would like to note all my shots are setup in manual mode, I do use auto focus, but that is all, so it felt strange to use the self timer to fire the shot. Canons auto focus is lightning fast and works great so mostly do use the auto focus, it does have a problem with very low light focusing. so like on my 5d mark IV in very low light have to manual focus, A, three stop glass graduated neutral density filter was used to even out the light in the sky to the light in the darker zones, final corrections done in photoshop
As seen on a walk in London with a 'phone camera. Most usual forms of transport are covered here aside from the Underground!
Traffic contrast
Going in different ways, the man on the bicycle, with his one horse power, stands out on the road near the shores of the river Oude Maas , against a huge container ship, called the Nica, sailing under the flag of Antigua and Barbuda.

The Erewash Canal at Sandiacre—where industrial heritage meets tranquil waters. Barges here have quite the story to tell.
🚢 Historical Role of Barges at Sandiacre
- Coal Transport: Originally, barges were vital for moving coal from Derbyshire’s pits to the River Trent for onward trade to Nottingham and Leicester.
- Industrial Goods: They also carried pottery, textiles, iron, and even bombshells during WWII from Stanton Ironworks.
- Commercial Decline: With the rise of railways in the 19th century, barge traffic dwindled. By 1952, the last commercial narrowboat operation ended.
🏡 Sandiacre’s Canal Scene Today
- Sandiacre Lock Cottages: These restored lock keeper’s cottages and stables are a charming nod to the canal’s working past.
- Padmore Moorings: A popular spot for pleasure craft and narrowboats, offering moorings and access to local amenities.
- Preservation Efforts: The Erewash Canal Preservation & Development Association (ECP&DA) was formed in 1968 to save the canal from closure. Their work led to its upgrade to ‘cruiseway’ status in the 1980s.
🌿 Leisure and Wildlife
- Boating: While commercial barges are long gone, leisure boating thrives. The canal is quieter than others, making it ideal for peaceful cruising.
- Fishing & Nature: Anglers enjoy catching roach, bream, chub, and perch. The surrounding area is rich in wildlife, with kingfishers, herons, and even water voles spotted nearby.
📏 Barge Dimensions
- Max Length: 80 ft 4 in
- Max Width: 13 ft 5 in
- Draught: 4 ft
- Headroom: 7 ft 4 in
These specs allow for broad-beam barges, though most modern traffic is narrowboats.
Evening traffic over the bridge.
Pont Briwet refers to the road and railway bridges that cross the River Dwyryd, near Penrhyndeudraeth, Gwynedd in North Wales. The first bridge was a Victorian road and railway viaduct that was constructed entirely from timber by the Cambrian Railways company.
Back in Zurich after lovely Venice. This is a tram and bus station in Zurich called Central. You can see the river Limmat and the building of the main station in the background.

Crosstown traffic - an old favourite location of mine now taken for the first time with my Sony.
Love the possibilities of painting with light courtesy of passing traffic. Incidentally the blue lights to the left of the Brighton clock tower was from the Santa bus, bringing some welcome cheer to central Brighton.
