This blog started as a record of travels around London. As I've changed so the blog has changed. It still has photos from my travels but I have started posting photos from my work as a photographer. They are still taken on my Canon cameras and I still don't use flash on the underground - it's dangerous blinding passengers and drivers.

Battersea Power Station
At some points the Thames Path leaves the Thames as buildings are right on the river bank. As one of these parts rejoins the river side I spotted this view. A traditional red phone box with the power station behind. In isn't the most colourful view in winter and the red stood out. I thought straight away that this would work being converted to B&W but leaving the box in colour, colour popping. This isn't something I tend to do, like a lot of effects it gets done to death and used where it doesn't add to the image and the effect lessens. This is only the second time I've used this effect and I think it works here.
