Late Night Tube Photography
Despite my love of the Underground and photography, I rarely mix both together. Last Friday when I was heading home on a late train (around 11PM), I got the camera out. I often read about ways to improve your photography and challenge your conventions. Obviously picking a niche and honing your craft is a good way to do it (I think I’m slowly getting there).
Sticking to a single focal length, area, lens or photography type are other ways. So constrained to a Tube carriage I tried to look at different angles, shapes and things in the train to come up with some work. Not my most impressive work, but still pretty cool – that bee was gigantic by the way, it was scaring what little passengers were on the train.

Fantastic Mr Fox
I visited my cousin last Monday and there was a fox, bold as brass, sitting in her garden. For her it’s an ordinary occurrence, but we’ve only ever had one fox in ours and that was at night. It was happy to sit there as I took the above two photos. I love both, the first is a brooding shot while the second makes it look so happy as it scratches.
Grumpy Families
Fridays are never a good day for One A Day. The above was taken on Valentine’s Day. It’ll appear with some other shots on Faces of London soon.
Brown Monkey
I very much like the eyes on this monkey. His form, positioning and contrast against the black backdrop really brings the photo alive. Short, but sweet for a Sunday One A Day. You can find a round up of the London Zoo shots here.
