  • A walk around Camden, London

    I got together with some members of our e-group.uk.net site earlier today and came away with quite a variety of photos. We were exploring Camden (London, UK), starting off at the newly refurbished St.Pancras Station and ending up in Camden Town by the Grand Union Canal.



    To start with a girl working in St,Pancras, on her break. This was accidentally underexposed by 1 stop and in fact required about 2EVs of of correction in Lightroom to be recovered. I decided to convert it to black and white, add some vignetting and some grain. We got talking to the girl who we discovered is interested in photography and uses both a Russian Lomo camera as well as a Nikon. I've given her our web address here - I hope she will visit!



    This was proving to be a very popular spot at Kings Cross for all the Harry Potter fans...



    Walking up Midland Road beyond the British Library there are all sorts of interesting things to photograph, as Andy demonstrates!



    Taken in the grounds of St.Pancras Old Church, which is a real oasis of green very close to the industrial metropolis of the station. A reminder that autumn is upon us.



    This is John concentrating hard on the towpath of the Grand Union Canal.



    There are some ponds in the London Wildlife Trust that is situated inbetween the railway lines going into St.Pancras and the canal and look what we found sunning itself, with either a juvenile moorhen or coot for company.



    And here is a closer view of our turtle friend.

    Hi Ian

    An interesting and varied set.

    To be honest, I cant say I like the flowers. They look to harsh. Too strong colouring.

    But the first photo, complete with grain, works very well imo.

    I like the composition.

    I'm not a fan of mono, but I do like that!

      As is typical Ian gets, the better shot and her number...



      But isn't that what a good "wingman" does

                    A good time was had by all by the looks of the personal shots and a fine selection of interesting pics came out of it. By all of your dress you seem to have had a spell of decent weather.
                    The clock fitting in for an extra ring was a clever idea.

                              On reflection, the comment about the flowers was on the mark and here is a revised version that tones the flowers down a bit:
