Replacing the windows

Posted on Thu, 2 March, 2017 by LensScaper

Almost a perfect fit. Walking down towards Tate Britain earlier this week I passed this building. Nothing very remarkable about the building – large floor to ceiling windows in a facade that was clad with wood. A little austere and … Continue reading →

Posted on Fri, 26 February, 2016 by LensScaper

Buildings never look the same re-visited. You visit them a second or third time and you see something completely different. About a year ago I photographed this building and the scene then was all about a vast curve of reflective … Continue reading →

Ups and Downs

Posted on Fri, 31 July, 2015 by LensScaper

Another image from near King’s Cross in London – a reflective boarding surrounding a construction site. Not many developers go to the trouble to use materials like this to partition themselves off from the general public but where there is … Continue reading →

Twenty Versions

Posted on Tue, 7 July, 2015 by LensScaper

Those of you who know of my liking for reflective glass will understand that it was impossible for me to walk past this building without taking a picture or two. It’s the rather uninteresting façade of a hotel on the … Continue reading →

Fragmented

Posted on Wed, 20 May, 2015 by LensScaper

Columns and Panes

Posted on Wed, 17 December, 2014 by LensScaper

Light is everything – it’s light that makes photography possible. And when the light is shining bright the facades of the buildings on the streets of London come alive. I was walking back along the Euston Road. It was a … Continue reading →

Glass and Water

Posted on Wed, 19 November, 2014 by LensScaper

On my most recent trip to London I spent some time out in the Docklands area of London – an area that has seen colossal development in recent years. Canary Wharf is the financial centre of this area with many … Continue reading →
