One Wonderful Day

An out-take from a visit with my niece this evening; she is two years old and very active but I think the 50mm on the Canon 5D Mark 2 coped really well. The same lens on the Canon 5D Classic tends to hunt in low light.

I shot all pictures this evening at ISO 6400; in the past, I had to use Flash when photographing my young niece.

Day 333: Penny-farthing and the Urban Warfare

This cyclist on his Penny-farthing was seen in Central London on 28 November 2008.

I managed to fire off two not-too-focussed images and this was the sharpest one.

According to WikiPedia’s article on Penny-farthing:

Penny-farthing is a term used to describe a type of bicycle with a large front wheel and a much smaller rear wheel that was popular after the velocipede, or boneshaker, until the development of the safety bicycle. They were the first machines to be called ‘bicycles’. The description ‘penny-farthing’ refers to British penny and farthing coins, one much larger than the other so that the side view resembles a penny leading a farthing, though this expression does not appear in print until 1927.

City Night Lights and a London Courier

This was shot on 22 January 2008 which is the day I got my new Canon 5D Mark II.

It’s meant to be a test shot at night but I ended up liking it . . .

 

London Piccadilly Circus and Cyclist

This was shot with a 50mm lens as I waited to cross the street; the building in the background with the colourful lights is the Trocadero
