Vents and tunnels added as part of the Jubilee line extension work allowed heat to escape from the station and up through this tall ventilation shaft.
"The Northern line Strand station was closed on 4 June 1973 to enable the construction of the new Jubilee line platforms. These platforms were constructed between the Bakerloo line and Northern line platforms together with the long-missing below-ground interchange between those two lines. In anticipation of the new interchange station, from 4 August 1974 Charing Cross was renamed Charing Cross Embankment. The Jubilee line platforms and the refurbished Northern line platforms opened on 1 May 1979 from which date the combined station including Trafalgar Square was given its current name; simultaneously Charing Cross Embankment reverted to the original BS&WR name of Embankment, ending 109 years of association with the name Charing Cross. The West End branch of the Northern line has been known as the Charing Cross branch since before the 1979 renaming, and this name has continued despite the change of station to which it refers.
"Although Charing Cross was constructed as the southern terminus of the Jubilee line, plans already existed to continue the line to the east towards Lewisham in south-east London. The tunnels were therefore constructed beyond the station beneath the Strand as far as 143 Strand, almost as far as Aldwych which would have been the next stop on the line. The subsequent regeneration of the Docklands in London's East End during the 1980s and 1990s required additional transport infrastructure and the eventual route of the extension took the new tunnels south from Green Park to provide new interchanges at Westminster, Waterloo and London Bridge stations and then on to the Greenwich Peninsula and Stratford.
"The new tunnels branch away from the original south of Green Park station and, on the opening of the final section of the line between Green Park and Waterloo stations on 20 November 1999, the Jubilee line platforms at Charing Cross were closed to the travelling public. For several years, the escalators continuing down to the closed platforms could still be seen through closed doors at the bottom of the escalators from the ticket hall; however, the windows have since been boarded up.
"The Jubilee line platforms are still used by Jubilee line trains as a sidings to reverse trains from south to north; to do so southbound trains terminate and detrain at Green Park Station and are worked empty to one of the Charing Cross platforms. The tunnels also extend beyond the platforms into the "Overrun". Each overrun has the capacity to stable a further two trains each.
"As the Jubilee line platforms and track are still maintained by TfL for operation reasons, they can can also be used by film and television makers requiring a modern Underground station location. While still open they were used in the 1987 film The Fourth Protocol, and after closure in numerous productions, including different episodes of the television series Spooks, the films Creep (2004), 28 Weeks Later (2007), The Deaths of Ian Stone (2007), Skyfall (2012) and the video for Alex Parks's single Cry.
"In 2006, it was proposed that an extension to the Docklands Light Railway from Bank station would take over the platforms. Intermediate stations at Aldwych and City Thameslink would be opened, mirroring the planned route of the old Fleet line.
"In 2010, the concourse serving the platforms was used for London Underground's licensed busking auditions."

I have to spend 8 hours a day with these people.
And I wouldn't have it any other way! :)
I had to take some internal photos for our employee poster, and figured a couple of extra minutes preparation couldn't hurt. So similar to my 5 minute portrait I set up something a little better than a surprise camera flash going off in peoples offices.
This was simply a pair of desk lamps setup on a table, and single overhead light. Because this was shot with my 17mm lens, I had to get right up into their faces to fill the frame a bit. I didn't think they came out too bad for less than 5 minutes of lighting prep, and with only office lights to do it...
And I can't get the Brady Bunch theme song out of my head while looking at this.

My neighbor makes these things called Little Extensions where old outgrown baby's jumpsuits (or whatever they are called) can be re-used by adding on this little extension. I reckon it's a cool idea and offered to do a collage for her.
If you like more information, let me know and I'll forward you her email.

Just received my extension tubes from DealExtreme. As I can't afford a true macro lens for a few hundred dollars, this is a steal at $9. Made a few test shots with all tubes and the 50 1.8, lookin' good.

El proyecto surge por la necesidad de mejorar un apartamento en el barrio Lalinde que debía dar respuesta a las nuevas dinámicas del usuario y tiene la intención de clarificar las funciones internas de la vivienda enfatizando el aprovechamiento de una terraza de 40m2 que se usa como una extensión de las actividades interiores. La vegetación se convierte en un elemento esencial en la renovación, que en conjunto con intervenciones livianas al interior, establece las relaciones visuales y espaciales del proyecto.

LOS ANGELES, CA - NOVEMBER 7: Metro Purple Line Extension groundbreaking ceremonies on November 7, 2014 at LACMA in Los Angeles, California.
The extension is coming along nicely, backscene added tonight aswell as the foamboard shells for the low relief factory buildings on the backscene. The plaster for the embankment is also setting. This end of the layout is heading towards Littons Mill and Arpley, a track plan must be uploaded to better detail my concept.
The active has melted in to the GPO as too many items had been plugged in to the extension lead causing it to draw too much current

The second extension fitted. You can see the alloy angle section which has been used to join the pillar to the bus runs up and on to the old pillars and is bolted through them. The extensions are nice and tight and car was taken to make sure they were square to the back of the bus.

Another test with extension tubes that I acquired this weekend. I know it is not replacement for macro lens but it seems fun with my 50mm lens.
It is not possible to use AF and MF is difficult. It seems best way is if you do not use tripod to move back and forward until image is in focus.
Also focusing distance is very short with 50mm lens and 48 mm tube.
