I’ve never been massively excited about sunset pictures, but it’s hard to resist when Greenwich Park is a short evening bike ride away and the sky looks like this.
In other news, I now have a Facebook page for my photography; ‘Like’ it, if you like.

I’ve shot these before countless times now, but it still feels worth it. The skyline keeps on changing (it might not be too long until views of the Millennium Done are mostly obscured from the south), and the autumn colours pass before you know it.
Shot on my Fuji X-T10 with 35mm and 60mm lenses on a chilly November day.

A quick peer out at the view from the top of Greenwich Park on a murky Sunday morning, on our way to a showing at the planetarium. I’m not sure how many times I’ve shot this view – and it’s pretty much the most cliched shot in the area – but I’m not bored of it yet.

Some highlights from a damp month:
The Basement Tapes Complete – not sure I’ve changed my mind much from my initial impressions, but it is an amazing piece of work; I expect to be digging into for years to come.
I saw the Jesus and Mary Chain play the whole of ‘Psychocandy’ (plus a short Greatest Hits set) at the wonderful Troxy in Limehouse, and it was brain-janglingly fantastic.
Don’t Make A Scene ‘zine turned up in the post – a really inspiring guide to promoting DIY gigs. It’s got me thinking about some of the musical things I want to do next year.

A Sunday morning stroll through Greenwich Park; the sun out and a feeling that maybe Spring might actually be here. The re-turfed area looks ok, and far from the post-Olympic devastation that some have suggested.

Taken last Sunday, when the sun finally reappeared.

A very bright but low sun on a very clear day made for a very contrasty image. Sometime soon I’ll get out with the proper camera and try to shoot something more unusual.

London Skyline – The City to North Greenwich, originally uploaded by neilclasper.
A new year, and a new shot from the Observatory at Greenwich Park. This one with Sigma 10-20mm set at 10mm, processed through Silver Efex Pro, and cropped to 16:9 – not a format I’ve used much.

Greenwich Park and the Isle of Dogs, originally uploaded by neilclasper.
Hardly an original viewpoint, but one that’s hard to resist – particularly when the clouds open up like this.
