London Undergound

What to do when travelling on the often tedious and unsociable London Underground?  Take an inordinate amount of shots of basically nothing, perhaps?

Motion Blur

Whilst having a spot of lunch in London, I decided to take a long exposure (1/6 sec) shot of London on the move.  It is always useful of course, for added impact, when a couple of tourists pause to look at a map.

Grey Herons in Flight

These shots of grey herons in flight were taken at Haddenham near Aylesbury.  With there vast wings outstretched and long thin neck extended they kind of remind me of something prehistoric.
