The curves of Newbury Park bus station work well with the curves of the roundel. Converted to monochrome.
The famous TFL roundel is projected on to the floor of the new Nine Elms tube station which opened in September 2021.

I assume I shot this wide-open at 1/50, perhaps 1/100 second.

Swiss Cottage Tube Station, London. I have read that this roundel with "Way Out" on it is unique as most have "Underground" or the station name on. I don't recall seeing any others like it.

Finally got out to get some shots of mist in the autumn before the leaves vanish, got the added bonus of a very hard frost.
This is the second shot I got of this. The top roundel is over exposed, but the reflection is lovely. If I had more time perhaps I would have adjusted the exposure. Or maybe its better like this as it makes the reflection more special... hmmm who knows. I love it!

This is Redbridge Underground Station towards the eastern end of the Central Line and a first visit for me. It is not photographed much but I found it is one of the rare few where both lines can be seen from a central platform. There is a central wall separating the platform but with frequent gaps giving the chance for this sort of shot with a wide angle lens. The other interesting thing is that it is one of only 4 stations I think with platform clocks where the face has been designed with mini London Underground Roundels in place of numbers. The others are Gants Hill, Wantage and Bethnal Green also on the Central Line. One qualification is that as I did not have time to wait for 2 moving trains the one on the left was added later in processing.
Apart from the central platform and the clocks Redbridge is a fairly ordinary station and I went for a fairly gritty look in processing which I thought suited it better. The picture was taken with a Sony A68 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10mm. 3 images for HDR. The image was first processed with Photomatix 6 using Fusion Natural for a natural look. The minus 2 EV image was copied in as a new layer and a layer mask used to apply it to bring more detail into the highlights. Next the 0EV image was processed in RAW using Capture One and in Photoshop flipped and copied in to the main image. A black layer mask removed it and white brush brought it back in for the train on the left only. Duplicate layer and Topaz Adjust applied for a Gritty look. Topaz DeNoise was also used. I used cloning in some areas to tidy up. Extra punch and clarity using unsharp mask 40 amount and 40 radius on the trains and clocks only using a layer mask.

Ignoring politics and political faction and hoping that you all avoid political comments below - one thing was clear from the inauguration speech of the 46th President of the United States today. The word 'unity' was justly emphasised and is so profoundly important today.
We are one species inhabiting one tiny world in the vastness of space. Our resources are not limitless and our home is under threat. Humanity is consuming one and a half times of the resources available and by any measure of mathematics, that is not sustainable.
After witnessing the worlds most powerful nation withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord I was so bitterly disheartened but I am warmed to see that the new administration plans to re-join the accord in an effort to stave off some of the worst that man-made climactic change will bring to our home. Of course it is all too little and too late, and more needs to be done, but it is a footstep in the right direction after so many backwards steps.
I don't want to wear my politics on my sleeve, but as a human that cares about other humans I wanted to express my hope that we can get back on track to tackle this crisis.
We are one humanity inhabiting one tiny planet in the vastness of space. We owe it to ourselves and our future generations to take care of our irreplaceable world and we cannot do that with hate and division in our hearts.
Stay safe everyone. Share love and hope. Show respect. Care.

Just a play with the camera and time with a mind to the SSC this week with the subject of new - as is the watch . In this case there is half a dial of movement on the second hand and even some movement on the minute hand .
Taken for Saturday Self Challenge - 18/11/2023 - Circles .
My first thought for the challenge was the roundel that is found on all RAF aircraft , but I will not have a chance to get to photograph any such aircraft for a while now . However , first idea was to print one of my many shots from photo workshops or air shows and photograph that , but somehow not quite in the spirit of SSC . Then I remembered my jigsaw that has been difficult to get going , the outside frame was done and the section with the roundel was thankfully complete , get camera and job done .
Since the introduction of the roundel on Royal Flying Corps aircraft in 1914 it has undergone various changes and modifications depending on the time period and type of aircraft being used and the role it performed. Whilst appearing in various guises during the First and Second World Wars after this period there have been less modifications to the roundel. Read about the history of the Royal Air Force roundel from 1914 to present day with images for each one.
It was during the first months of the First World War that this need to identify quickly became a pressing issue as a number of 'friendly fire' incidents occurred. The first solution implemented by the Royal Flying Corps, the precursor to the Royal Air Force, was to paint the Union Jack on the underside of the lower wing. Whilst at low-level this was adequate in enabling identification of the aircraft by ground forces, at higher altitude less of the flag was visible leading to misidentification.
The solution to this problem was suggested in a memo on the 29th October 1914 circulated by Major General David Henderson, Commanding Royal Flying Corps, British Army in the Field which was to copy a system used by the Armee de l'Air. This was a circle consisting of a red outer ring then white with a blue circle in the middle, the RFC version would have the blue and red reversed and be painted onto the wings only.
On the 12th November 1914 the wing roundel was officially introduced for all Royal Flying Corps aircraft and was followed on the 23rd June 1915 with a decision that the roundel should appear on the fuselage as well, replacing the Union Jack. This has been the standard roundel ever since.
