Love the barrel and train station ones!

I've really struggled to motivate myself this past year; I feel I've taken the kind of photography I do as far as I want, and I want a change, but I'm not sure what to do next.

The best from my two most recent films:

I was wandering around the neighbourhood, and this man asked me to watch him try this trick to give him the motivation to try hard. 35mm Kodak Tri-X.

Your photos of Prague are beautiful.

Thanks! It's an easy place to take good photos.

You are being modest.

Prague is absolutely beautiful but you have also captured light and atmosphere...

I feel recognised quite a few places in your photos..do you have one near the Ostrich hotel near Charles bridge by any chance?

I don't know what to title these images, perhaps: If you go down to the woods today ..

Nothing precisely there, but a few nearby:

Basis of a short story. "Oliver settled himself down into his den in the woods, not far from the road. From here he could see everyone driving up to the Big House and everyone driving back. "

Do you think it is a bit creepy that I only posted images where the drivers are visible?

It crossed my mind but no I don't think so ..

From a walk by the Thames

The River Thames at low tide: mudlarkers, sunbathers and bridges – 30 photos -

Large expanses of rocks, pebbles and bijou sandy beaches are exposed at low tide on the River Thames, and this is when you'll see some people mudlarking - a phrase used to describe anyone poking around in the mud for items of value. These day people are more interested in finding old pipes, bits of

I'm no landscape photographer; no sense of composition in nature, and no discipline to get up early and be at the right place as the sun rises. I took these on holiday in Austria (somewhere in the mountains between Innsbruck and Schwaz), with a Nikon D700 and ancient 28-105mm zoom, and processed in Darktable. I have no skills when it comes to editing; usually I just click on a film preset (IlfordHP5) and leave it at that, but for these I experimented with changing exposure and highlight/shadow adjustments. Feedback and advice welcome.

On Wednesday night, Brixton Buzz travelled south-west to the tiny village of Otford (pop: 3,465) to watch Peckham Town take on the local team – and win convincingly.

Coypu/nutria by the river yesterday. Very tame.

Which river?

The Vltava, Prague, I'm afraid. They are very common here in Czech Republic, and in the city, very tame; they will eagerly take food from your hand.

They were covered in graffiti and then completely whitewashed over.

Oh ok, well the restorers seem to have done an excellent job.

Hey - any photographers want a free press pass to the Mighty Hoopla festival in Brockwell park on Saturday in exchange for covering the event for Brixton Buzz?

What happened with the signs RoyReed?

It got much worse than this

They were restored by art conservators Plowden and Smith

Nice.

That lens seems like great value for money, but even so, I don't do enough portrait or indoor photography (like concerts) to justify 800 bucks for such a specialized piece of glass. Also, as far as I can tell, they don't make it for Nikon F mount, only Z.

Depth of field at 0.95 must be almost non-existent.

It was only around £300 which I wasn't so bad.
