5 Thurloe Square is a block of flats in South Kensington, London. The triangular building is 6 feet (1.8 m) wide at its narrowest. It was built between 1885 and 1887 by William Douglas on an area of land left over after the construction of South Kensington tube station. The building was initially used as artist studios.

In December 2025 Flat A, a 1 bedroom flat, was valued at an astonishing £953,000 themovemarket.com/tools/propertyprices/flat-a-5-thurloe-s...
Updated Nik filters to the Nik Collection V3 this week and I had a slow day today - New tools like new glass inspire you to experiment ... I wondered thru images from the last year or so and found a couple that I'm quite fond of and looked at them with new eyes so to speak. Perspective Efex is a new addition to Nik filters and from what I've found using so far it's my new favourite thing.
A thin layer of fog still covers the top of the railroad at Blue Ridge Summit as UBHF creeps past the former Western Maryland passenger station. For a couple thousand feet, the MMID runs into the state of Pennsylvania here before dipping back into Maryland at the CSX interchange in Highfield.
One of those cool things I love in Northern Norway during winter are those patches of thin ice found near the coast. They make the perfect setting for taking photos of minifigures.
Even Popular Cove on Watson Lake fell victim to the overnight cold as it displayed a layer of Thin Ice this morning at sunrise.
The Austin goes no further under thin clouds. An exposure and focus blend with the sky 7 shots stacked in Sequator, 10 seconds each, the foreground is a blend of 4 shots light painted by Richard Tatti. Processing in Lightroom, blending in Photoshop, Sigma lens.
After a big freeze there is a short period when there is a shallow reflective layer of meltwater on top of the ice which creates some interesting wildlife photo-opportunities. I took this at Newmillerdam near Wakefield this afternoon as the sun was setting. The gull was in shadow but the reflection was from the sunny side of the lake, creating an interesting combination.
This is a young Black-headed Gull in its first winter plumage (hatched last summer). Small gulls like Black-headed don't take long to reach adult plumage and by next winter it will be indistinguishable from adults. Large gulls like Herring Gull are still distinguishable from adults in their fourth winter.
Taken while driving around in the countryside, I came across a huge storm moving in towards me. Through the clouds a thin amount of light was shining through onto a small section of field, illuminating it brilliantly
Thin lines of bright morning sun peeping though the horizontal wooden slats of a suburban garden fence.
As I've mentioned before, I spend a lot of time in ditches. The ice in this one was thin, so I couldn't walk on it - I had to lean precariously over the ice from the margin and use live view rather than my viewfinder to frame my shots, while taking care not to fall in or wreck my back.
Sometimes the idea of how to crop comes after the fact, but in this case I knew immediately it had to be square. The frozen bubbles, framed diagonally; the horizontal fracture line across the top. Square felt right. I like its formal dimensions. I find it too static for most wildlife shots but just right for some other subjects and situations.
And that golden light seemingly originating beneath the ice. Just remember The Merchant Of Venice: "All that glisters is not gold." (Today we generally substitute the modern word "glitter", but in Shakespeare's day "glister" was a synonym.) Anyway, cold, not gold.
The usual setup here: macro lens, tripod, cable release, because my camera's shutter is not electronic, but rather, mechanical, with moving parts that create vibration. Locking up the mirror helps. Soon only dinosaurs will still be using DSLRs.
I love shooting spring ice; it's always a good exercise in imaginative seeing.

#45 - Ice Blue
Thank you in advance for your views, comments, and faves. They are much appreciated!
A stunningly unusual daylily bred by a local man, who sadly passed away two years ago. I am so grateful to have part of his legacy blooming in my garden and will be able to share it with my friend Katherine this spring. It is even more beautiful in color but I have yet to take a photo that captures that beauty. Perhaps this year...
Thin ice cracked over stones. Apparently, the winter has not been remarkably cold since the ice is so fragile. But on the other hand, how the ice cover was formed? Anybody knows?
Particularly dark sand among the more usual lighter colour, made for some interesting patterns. This was actually in a thin film of water where some run off came off the hill at the back of the beach.
This was taken at sunrise on a January morning in Yosemite Valley. Ice was forming on the edge of the Merced River at the location known by photographers as Tahiti Beach. The gold color is a reflection of warm morning sunlight on the face of El Capitan. I liked the interplay of the golden fractal patterns of the thin ice with the blue water just underneath, which created a cool abstract.
This is a tight crop of a close-range shot taken at 173mm, the crop probably spanning a few inches in width.
