A quick stop at the Jubilee market at Covent Garden.

A quick capture of one of the Pest tram's coming at me at eye level whilst walking underneath. An angle that is not always available through safe means but an interesting one none the less.

shot with Nikon Z7 and Nikkor 50mm f1.2

My first attempt at macro flower photography! Needless to say I have somewhat tried to avoid flowers as they are very much the norm and I like to do things a little differently. However fair play to those that do....getting the focus isn't easy!

Having played around with some oil on water my next venture was washing up liquid....how would this look under a macro lens? Needless to say it is interesting, and trying to capture the bigger air bubbles after shaking the bottle is not so easy....you have to be quick!

A reflection of Piwna street outside of the Great Armoury in Gdansk

The view of the traditional red rooftops of Prague from the walk up to the castle.

After waiting for what felt like an age on a cold Sunday in Colchester zoo one of the red Panda Cub's finally turned to face me for a split second.

So having spent a morning out with the camera Taiga and her cubs, Mischa, Pasha and Tatana were all feeling very photogenic!

So having decided to get to grips with my macro lens the old school oil and water attempt was made....needless to say I need some more practise to master this!

After a little nap Luka was happy enough to continue his inquisitive stare directly at me sat comfortable on his rock.

Lottie the baby white rhino at Colchester Zoo. Casually running around and terrorising the other rhinos it was quite amusing to watch.

Lena the leopard cub staring precariously as if in deep contemplation

Some of my first attempts at macro photography

Thanks for your visit

Whilst on our long weekend we were very fortunate to be upgraded to a suite in our hotel. The view from the suite looked like this and was stunning.

A nice early morning shot of St Paul's from the corridor in One New Change.

A nice moment shared with 4 month old Pasha. Having already had a good opportunity to photograph his brother Mischa, Pasha was wondering what it was all about and lay in the shade staring straight at me for a number of minutes.

Shortly after brother Luka ventured out in front of the crowd sister Lena made her way out for a bit of playtime.

The 90m light tunnel connecting Kings Cross to St Pancras Square. Interesting to see first thing in the morning without hoards of tourists swamping the area.

Thanks for your visit

A throwback capture from Banham Zoo of a bald eagle that was more than happy to have his photo taken, and then decided to stare me out...

A very random building not too far away from Covent Garden whilst walking from the Holborn underground station. Interesting design and made me look up!

basdus: Nice shot #lookingup (by the way, why is the letter 'i' next to 'o' on my keyboard? Makes it tricky when typing 'nice shot'. Narrow escape! ;-)

Whilst walking around in Gdansk, we opted to take a subway under the main road and found this musician horsing around :)

The road between the camps in Birkenau, a harrowing and lasting image that cannot easily be forgotten.

An elegant side profile shot of the bald eagle at Banham zoo.

The Dlugi Targ Square at night on a cold evening in November

Luka casually on his rock, overlooking the visitors.

Another great day shooting with the Amur tiger cubs. Pasha as always feeling very photogenic and willing.
