green lacewing eye
another visit from the green lacewing - and yup, it's still alive and very happy to spy on me

Greenwich Foot Tunnel, London, England
Always love reworking an old photo, I really hate the way I edited this image a few years ago compared to this, I suppose our tastes as photographers are always changing from what we photograph to how we edit.
Would you agree with this?
I feel my editing has certainly changed over the last few years to a point where I am happy and am always keen to revisit photos that I took years ago.
This tunnel is very well documented on Flickr but I can see why it is so popular with photographers. I love the grittiness and the mix clean shiny tiles with the dirty worn ones. The converging lines are always appealing to me :-)
Location Information
The Greenwich Foot Tunnel crosses beneath the River Thames in East London, linking Greenwich (Royal Borough of Greenwich) in the south with the Isle of Dogs (London Borough of Tower Hamlets) to the north.
The 'Friends of Greenwich and Woolwich foot tunnels' (FOGWOFT) was established in September 2013.[1] Following encouragement from FOGWOFT and information from the Institution of Civil Engineers, on 5 July 2016 an interpretative plaque was unveiled near the tunnel's Greenwich entrance by the deputy leader of Royal Borough of Greenwich council.
London Bridge Underground Station, London, England
It doesn't matter how many times I visit London Bridge Underground station but I always managed to get lost within its labyrinth of tunnels and escalators, anyone else get this problem?
Like many other Underground stations, London Bridge is a mishmash of different architectures and styles from different eras. What I really like about this tunnel is the clinical feel and clean lines, mixed with the emptiness in this photo it can feel quite unnerving to many people who witness a tunnel on the London Underground like this.
I can't wait for my next trip down to London, really looking forward to exploring the new part of Tottenham Court Road station that has been recently opened not to mention I have a few spiral staircases I want to photograph too.
I don't know why but everytime I look at this tunnel it always reminds me of the game Screwball Scramble that I use to play as a kid, not sure why but it just triggers that memory of mine, anyone else remember that game?
Location Information
London Bridge is a central London railway terminus and connected London Underground station in Southwark, occupying a large area on two levels immediately south-east of London Bridge and 1.6 miles (2.6 km) east of Charing Cross. The main line station, which is the oldest railway station in London fare zone 1 and one of the oldest in the world having opened in 1836, contains nine terminal platforms and six through-platforms for services from the south and south-east of London. Through services continue to Charing Cross or Cannon Street. In terms of passenger arrivals and departures it is the fourth-busiest station in London as well as the United Kingdom as a whole, handling over 54 million customers a year. (These statistics do not include the many commuters who transfer between lines at the station.)
London Bridge is served by Thameslink trains running between Bedford and Brighton as well as Southeastern services from Cannon Street to destinations in southeast London, Kent and East Sussex. It is also the terminus for Southern commuter and regional services to south London and numerous destinations in South East England.
The main line station is one of 19 UK stations managed by Network Rail. The Underground station is served by the Jubilee line and the Bank branch of the Northern line. It consists of a ticket hall and entrance area with its main frontage on Tooley Street, along with entrances on Borough High Street, as well as within the main line station concourse and a corridor under the through-platforms (currently 1–3).
London Bridge is one of two main line termini in London to the south of the River Thames, the other being Waterloo. For this reason, neither has a direct connection to the Circle line.
or at least it might be if it wasn't dead...
this was a fairly long stack - it's a fairly long beetle - taken with auto stepper thing for stacking set (I think) to about 0.25mm between shots
Oden（おでん） is a Japanese winter food consisting several ingredients such as fish cake, boiled egg, daikon radish, and konnyaku, and it is stewed with soy source flavoured dashi. Most Japanese convenience stores have simmering oden pots in winter.
this is a wee water mite of some sort, borrowed from an ecologist who samples these things regularly
I don't mean she eats them (although she mite), I mean she collects and identifies them to check water quality in rivers
cluster fly eye (again)
this is to the same scale as the lacewing eye (another planet), which gives you an idea of how small the lacewing eye is... well, sort of an idea anyway

Bond Street Underground Station, London, England
Carrying on with the orange theme and a right blast from the past. This was an image I stumbled across and one that I took 5 years ago now, its been a while since I have visited Bond Street station, this tunnel may have been refurbished since this image was taken.
As you can see how my processing of my images has changed over the last 5 years, the majority of image processing I don't really like anymore and I am going through them and editing them in the way that I enjoy now.
At this time in my photography journey I was using Photomatix to create HDR images, something that I don't really do at all anymore however this is one photo that caught my eye and one that I still like. I left this as it was and just sharpened it and tidied it up a little.
Has anyone else gone on a similar journey on their photography? I am sure you all have, would be good to see what editing style you did from 5 years ago compared to what you do now.
Location Information

Shepherds Bush Underground Station, London, England
One good thing at being at home more during this time is being able to edit and sort out photos. I decided to sort out my photos and have about 38000 images dating back from 2011. I have been going through each year and deleting any photos I don't want anymore. I have got to 2013 so far and managed to purge about 4GB in photos so far!
Anyway, I during that tidy up I found this image from 2012 and had to share it with you all, one of my personal favourites I have taken at this station and I had to wait ages to get two trains to line up like this.
Hope your all enjoying your day so far.
found this thing up the attic and accidentally murdered it which makes this a sort of posthumous tribute photo

Bank Underground Station, London, England
Gonna leave this photo for you for the weekend. This is Bank Underground station and I thought I would give it this sci-fi sterile feel to the overall image.
Sometimes when I get images with people in I do wonder who they are, what they do and where they are going and this is no exception. This was one of those images you quickly took and came out the way you wanted it.
For those who have been to Bank Underground or regularly travel through it will know what its like with its warren of tunnels everywhere, easy to get lost but great for photography :-).
Happy Weekend all!

Hampstead Underground Station, London, England
UPDATE FEB 2012 - #4 on Explore and Front Page for 28.02.2012 - thank you very much everybody! :-)
I should have uploaded a photo yesterday but never got round to it, I do try to upload one a day to for you all hope you don't mind :-)
Well, back to Hampstead Underground Station. This is such a photogenic station, so many rich colours and photo opportunities. For this photo I had to time it in-between trains on both sides of the platforms and eventually this was the result.
I had to take this photo with ISO 400 which I normally don't do if I am going to make an HDR photo due to the noise but I had too with this because I wanted the DOF correct.
Well I hope you are all having a good week so far :-)

Information
Hampstead tube station is a London Underground station in Hampstead, north London NW3 1QG. The station is on the Edgware branch of the Northern Line, between Golders Green and Belsize Park stations, and on the boundary between Travelcard Zone 2 and Zone 3.
The station was opened on 22 June 1907 by the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway. Located at the junction of Heath Street and Hampstead High Street, the name Heath Street was proposed for the station before opening: indeed, the original tiled station signs on the platform walls, recently restored, still read "Heath Street". Hampstead is on a steep hill and the station platforms are the deepest on the London Underground network, at 58.5 metres or 192 feet below ground level. It has the deepest lift shaft on the Underground at 181 feet which houses high-speed lifts. There is also a spiral emergency staircase, made up of over 320 steps.
To the north, between Hampstead and Golders Green stations is the uncompleted North End or Bull & Bush station. Hampstead Heath station on the North London Line is a 10-15 minute walk east.
first thing to be added to the 'drawer of death' this year - peeled from the front of a car radiator grille...
the animation below takes a minute or two to load up...
sorry about the lack of appendages - this is more of an experiment than anything else - some refinements required
well, it sort of is... it can be a bit of a challenge trying to see the moving 3d one - let me know how you get on. The 3d things are both cross-eyed stereograms.
I was too lazy to clean up all the dust on the beetle beforehand, so it's a bit grubby
this thing is a studio stack of a dead butterfly I found earlier in the year - took quite a bit of cleaning up...
this is a stack of 151 shots, using the contraption I built a while back based on the guts of a CD drive. This is the first indoor stack using the 5D mkII I've tried and I've rewritten the software so I can now use live view on the PC to control the stack, which I find much better than having to look through the view finder to see the start and end points.
Passeig de Gràcia Metro Station, Barcelona, Spain
One to add to my 'Conceptual Fabrication' architectural series and actually an image that I took couple of years ago from my trip to Barcelona.
Barcelona is such a wonderful city and really enjoyed my stay there, I had limited time on the their metro to get some photos but did get a few.
This is actually a reworked photo, I just never was happy with the original and this tidier version really works for me compared to the original.
I feel that there is something quite sinister and eerie about this shot, I can't quite put my finger on what it is but I hope you enjoy the photo.
