Volumes from Verulamium – 2.0

Snowflake and snowball the polar bears sitting with Chocolate Moose. Not quite sure about the processing on this one; I think I need to calibrate the screen on the new laptop.

Nikon D90. Nikkor 18-200mm f3.5-5.6G IF-ED AF-S VR DX @ 18mm. 1/60 @ f/4.0 -2/3 EV ISO 200

Colours boosted slightly in Lightroom; but the reflections not adjusted any more than the buildings themselves. I need to try this again with a proper tripod!

Just that, really.   I need to try this one again lining the shot up more carefully; there’s a little distortion that needs correcting but I’d rather try and do that with a different lens.

Saturday was time for part 2 of the birthday celebrations.  We met up with some of my pals for an evening at Cosa Nostra.  As ever, the food was great, the atmosphere relaxed (you never seem to be waiting too long for your food, yet you never seem rushed either) and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Wednesday was my birthday, but online time has been limited since then owing to a trip to Brussels and busy busy busy at work.
The day started rather early with the alarm at 0550 (the normal time!) but we did catch a train about 15 minutes later than our normal one – because that meant time [...]

Resident’s First weekend in St Albans today and tomorrow.   It’s kind of the St Albans equivalent of Open House with various buildings throwing open their doors to the public for free.  I don’t know if it’s just me, but there seemed to be less places open this time around.
Never mind though, I went in to [...]

Brussels was too wet to venture out at lunchtime.  So that left England when I got home for today’s picture.
St Pancras is a wonderful temple of engineering and architectural achievement.  And it does generally look pretty light inside the Barlow train shed.   But flicking over to manual meant I could snag this, which gave it [...]

An equally busy day – office in the morning, Eurostar to Brussels in the afternoon, meeting at dinner in the evening.  Brussels was cold and wet, so little chance to get out with the camera.   But a glass of Eurostar’s champagne caught the light nicely (somewhere betwixt Ebbsfleet and Ashford), and here it is.

Despite it being my birthday, it was also a work day and very busy, hence little time to snatch a picture.  We were going to the theatre in the evening and all meeting at Holborn tube.  I was a few minutes early, so snagged this one of the drinking fountain in Lincoln’s Inn Fields.

An ornament I picked up from the Metropolitan Museum of Art a few years back. It seemed quite appropriate for today’s momentous events.  God bless America!
