Week 28 has arrived. I have fallen behind a little on my 52 weeks project, but I promise to make up for it over the summer.

The photograph was taken on a Holga GN, my first glass lens Holga, and I'm really impressed with the sharpness of the lens.

A photograph taken in car park below Edinburgh Castle. It rained earlier in the day which allowed me to get these reflections. I love how the spots on the tarmac came out. What is essentially bubble gum and gravel looks like stars in the night sky.

Week 12 and I'm still revisiting London sites. Week 11 is still missing, but I'll post it soon (did something with a Lomo and haven't had a chance yet to get the film developed).

An iconic feature of London's skyline - St. Paul's Cathedral just after sunset. The Millennium Bridge remains one of my favourite river crossings in the city.

Petone is on the opposite end from Wellington Harbour, New Zealand. This photograph was taken on Petone Pier just before sunset. The pier offers beautiful views of the bay and many locals fish from it throughout the day.

0552 - Sunset at Castlepoint Lighthouse


0552 - Sunset at Castlepoint Lighthouse
Originally uploaded by fotoshoota.com

Castlepoint in New Zealand is one of the most spectacular places on the Wairarapa coastline. The lady and her friend walked along the beach and took photographs of sea gulls and waves. Then she paused and turned to take a quick snap of the lighthouse. I took this photo with a small compact and did some basic post processing in LR.

(Ps. Weeks 2 - 4 are still outstanding, but I promise to post them soon.)

0152 - Travelator


0152 - Travelator
Originally uploaded by fotoshoota.com


Photographers need challenges. Taking my inspiration from author-photographers such as Kevin Meredith (http://lomokev.com/books/) and Lee Frost (http://www.rubooks.co.uk/product/50-photo-projects/203518/), I decided for 2011 to do a 52 weeks / 52 photographs project.

The first of the project is a photograph of the travelator at Waterloo Station in London. It's been photographed many times before, but I wanted something iconic to symbolise the start of another adventure!

The photograph was taken on a Canon S95 (which I happened to have in my pocket at the time) and some basic post-processing was done to boost the contrast and colours.

Best wishes for 2011!
