I have finally managed to go and see the famous Greyhound Dog racing in London/Wimbledon. I wanted to do this for quite a while and finally managed to go and take my camera. The races are usually held in the evenings, so I had to turn up my ISO to pretty much maximum making them quite grainy. The leading dogs look  as if they are running on their hind legs…

I went with a friend into Central London on Saturday to take some photographs. Maybe we were quite scary looking, as wherever we went we could not see a soul.

Very refreshing…..

The image below is from a performance about nostalgia, deviced by Nick Parkin, Sara Amini, Maryam Davari. A juxtaposition of movement, voice and memories.

Also, Yuliya Krylova has designed and made all of the costumes for this performance.

Yesterday I went to take a look at the first ever 3D Printshow in London. The event is packet with the latest additions to small scale and very affordable 3D printers, 3D scanners and software packages.

If you would like the chance to view the future of manufacturing and the world of 3D printing, then this is the place to go this weekend.  The 3D Printshow takes place at The Brewery, Chiswell St, London from 19 to 21 October.

Underwater life included: Spider Crab, Stingray, Lobster, Crab, Conga Eel(only blurry image, but it was quite large), Hermit Crab, a variety of fish, Lemon Sole, Seastar(one was even feeding on a seashell)

Having been away over the festive period, I was completely taken by the clarity of the sky one night in Austria. I did not have a lot of time to find the best location and settings to take a photograph, but here is one of my favourites.

Yesterday I had planned to take a photographic walk with a friend in London. As it became apparent that the weather situation was not in our favour, we have found the perfect place to spend some time with photography. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has a lot of great objects which you can photograph and you are allowed to do so. I have added a few shots from the days adventures in my galleries, which even features some photographs of the worlds most feared creature. To view the gallery, please click the image below.

Looking through my old images, I have found a photograph, which I have taken a year ago. The sea on the south west coast of France was really rough and we noticed a few people standing at the waterfront. As we got closer we saw a couple of guys in the water, surfing in the massive waves. The photo had to be cropped and lost some quality, but I still love it.

I decided to experiment a bit more with infrared photography and have taken this shot in Clapham Common Park in London today. I have used a long exposure of around 5 minutes to capture this shot. Since the sun was not too strong at the time, the photograph has some extra noise, but I think it just adds to the character of the image.
