Took a little excursion at lunch time to Ruislip Lido having noticed that there was a dock pocking out from the trees.
It looks far bigger from the satellite view in Google Maps than it does from dry land but still an interesting challenge. I wanted to get a very still look from the water but it was very bright and the combination of a small aperture, ND filter and a long exposure just weren't playing nicely. One thing I realised as I typed this is that I forgot to adjust the exposure which would have helped.
The ducks weren't playing nicely either, and you can see one that jumped up on the dock!
I was never particularly fond of Southern Region EMUs so therefore dont know a deal about them. What I can tell you is that this unit is 411506 & is seen at Dover Western Docks on 19th August 1985

Putting the dock in means that spring is here! I kind of took this photo on accident because I brought my 50mm lens to try and capture the sunset instead of my wide angle.

Btw, to see the power of post-processing, compare the processed version to the original. :P

What started out being a really dumb mistake ended up with some really cool looking images.
I took a long photowalk this afternoon down to Lake Harriet with my Holga and Kodak Brownie. After finishing off the Holga, I opened it up and took the film out, then realizing that 120 film really doesn't have that much protecting it. So after getting home and developing it, i had a lot of faded light leaked photos. But as I started scanning, I enjoyed them a whole lot.

The Albert Dock Conservation Area is characterised by the juxtaposition of buildings and water, created by and for their historic working relationship.
Of necessity the docks and their structures are set apart from the city and not integrated into the city street pattern.
Historically, the Albert Dock complex was separated from the city by a high wall, although a six-lane road now isolates it. The dominant pattern of the area is set by the docks themselves, and streets have been inserted around them.
The impressive views and vistas within or from the Albert Dock Conservation Area, such as the view of the "Three Graces" along Salthouse Quay or the view of the Anglican Cathedral between Warehouses A and E have been achieved incidentally, but nonetheless create a strong maritime character.
The removal of quayside warehousing and transit sheds, particularly around Salthouse Dock and Duke's Dock, have completely opened up views of the docks and the Albert Dock buildings.
At five storeys plus basement the warehouses overshadow most of the other surrounding buildings and structures.
However, as they were all designed with a functional relationship, they work together as an ensemble and the unified design is apparent.
The loss of much of the inland warehousing and its dense street pattern, coupled with the widening of the Strand/ Wapping has given the Albert Dock complex increased visibility across the city at large.
This is a hard working environment, and green spaces are generally alien and absent. However, some trees have been introduced (along Salthouse Quay and also to soften the car-parking areas on Gower Street) and these do not in any way detract from the character of the area.
