Moscow
I’ve just spent a few days in Moscow giving a talk to the Russian Academy of Radio at their annual get together. Clearly, if I was going all the way to Moscow, I was going to be sure to find a bit of spare time to get out and take some photos, and the good…

Orford Ness
Orford Ness is not the easiest place to get to – particularly without a car. For me it was three trains, a ten mile cycle ride and a ferry crossing. But it’s well worth it for the fantastic nature reserve and some essential military history surrounding the development of RADAR and the atomic bomb. A…

Thames Festival Parade
It was the annual Mayor’s Thames Festival parade last night in Central London. I got snap happy…

Olympics Day 3 – Swimming, The Orbit and Fencing
[Note: This is a first draft. I’ll drop in some photos when I get a chance to process them] Today was a swimming day, and I had a 10am session. Having decided that security was very swift I didn’t get in too early today, but I still ended up with an hour to kill before…

Le Maillot Jeune
What an extraordinarily wonderful day. Bradley Wiggins wins the Tour de France in Paris. The first Briton ever to do so in 109 years of the race and 99 editions of it. Chris Froome, another Brit comes second. Mark Cavendish makes it three out of three on the Champs Elysees. I just had to be…

Random Notes
A few entirely unrelated things worth noting: 1. Nexus 7 Tablet Google’s announced its new tablet, and I’ll let others tell you how good or otherwise it is. What I find quite staggering is Google’s UK pricing. In the US, the 8GB entry level model is $199. When you hear numbers like that normally, you…

Smithfield Nocturne
A great fun evening yesterday watching criterium cycle racing around Smithfield Market. Lots more to process and upload, but his was my favourite.

A Fruitless Early Morning
The alarm was set for 4.00am. I’d bought some Baader solar paper. I’d made a solar filter for my camera, essentially following these instructions. I was already for the last Transit of Venus that’ll be visible from Earth until 2117, and therefore, my lifetime. Sadly, I hadn’t counted on the wonderful British summer. Actually, that’s…

The Photographers’ Gallery
Tomorrow evening across Europe, millions of people will be watching the annual festival of… well… music I guess, that is the Eurovision Song Contest. There have already been a couple of semi-finals, with the big show happening in Baku tomorrow night. So it was interesting in the same week as this is happening to go…

Margate
I recently went down to Margate to visit the Turner Contemporary gallery. Very nice it is too, and those HS1 trains whizz down there pretty fast from St Pancras if you’re in London. Anyway, I clearly took some photos while I was there (And so did David Bailey according to an interview on Front Row…
