What makes a good picture?

Dull day?


When the weather does not lend itself to outdoor photography, I try to find subjects for my photos indoors. Even the most unusual objects can give you interesting results.

Familiar face in London?


Taking a stroll around the streets of London in the summer. You get to see famous landmarks, rather amusing to look at a photogenic "spot" from a totally different angle.

Colour or black and white?












A very photogenic spot in Brittany. This house can actually be seen on all the brochures on Brittany. The colour version gives a very blue feel. The black and white version gives it a sense of isolation. I do like both in fact.

Family zoo



A weekend in Lille, shame I had to walk around with 35 kids following me. I am always pleased to go to the local family zoo. This peacock was surely showing off when we walked past its enclosure!

Lonely tree


I went up to Suffolk over the half term break. I have already taken quite a few shots up there especially in Southwold. However, Covehithe is just around the corner from the caravan. This lonely tree standing on the beach can surely appeal to many photographers.

New lens

I was very eager to try my new lens 70-200mm L f.4 IS so I took a few shots indoors. Can you figure out what this photo represents? Only desaturated it and rotated it in Photoshop that is all! The black and white colours give it a different feel which is to my liking rather appropriate to the subject matter.

On my doorstep
















I do not need to go far to take some pictures. I just walked to the lake at the end of my road. Well, I wanted to try the new lens I have just purchased. The 70-200mm L f.4 IS, I am definitely getting ready for the safaris in Namibia in August. This lens will surely give terrific results.
